Source Nodes
Description
When media is imported into Silhouette, it becomes a Source node and is displayed in the Source window. Once a Source node is placed in the Trees window, the following parameters become available.
Alpha
Silhouette is a straight, unmatted compositor and its composite nodes expect unpremultiplied images. In addition, it is best practice to unpremultiply before color correcting premultiplied images so as to avoid unexpected results.
Type
Straight - Unmatted
Select this option if your source is Straight-Unmatted.
Premultiplied
Select this option if your source is Premultiplied. This will unpremultiply it.
Fill
None
No fill operation is performed.
Opaque
Makes the alpha channel opaque.
Transparent
Makes the alpha channel transparent.
Stream
The Stream parameters are where you identify which clips are used for the Left and Right Views when working with stereo images. The stereo tools in Silhouette only show up in the user interface when using a stereo EXR file, when left and right clips have been assigned in the Stream > Left and Right parameters, or when left and right clips are connected to the Merge Views node.
Note: Non-stereo sources only use the Left view.
Left
Sets which clip is used for the Left View.
Right
Sets which clip is used for the Right View.
Note: Stereo EXR files which contain both the Left and Right Views within one file are automatically connected to the Left and Right views.
Depth
Sets which clip is used for the Depth map.
Time Shift
Shifts the source node in time.
Extend Duration
When enabled, the last frame of the clip will repeat if the session duration is longer.
Center
Centers the image when using a session that is smaller or larger than the source.
• When the file’s Display Window is the same as the DOD, Center is enabled by default.
• When a file has overscan built in, Center is off by default.
