Changing Footage Source Settings

Use the settings in the Source controls to determine how the original footage settings are interpreted within the workspace.

Normally, footage imported into a composite is forced to match the frame rate of the composite. QuickTime and AVI movies still use the frame rate saved with those files when rendered.

Select a Footage operator to change the original media file settings at any time.

When you select a Footage operator, controls appear that give you access to Source and Output settings for the selected footage.

To access Source controls for a Footage operator:

1. In the Workspace panel, click the Footage operator.

Note: You can also double-click a Footage operator node in the Schematic view.

To find a Footage operator in the Workspace panel, expand the appropriate layer in a composite, or find the start of the branch (bottom of branch in the panel). You can also look in the Footage Library, or use the Footage Library view.

2. If you want to see the footage as you edit the settings, make the Footage operator the current operator in the viewport. For example, double-click the Footage operator in the Workspace panel.

Note: You can also select the Footage operator in the Footage Library.

3. Click the Source button.

The Source controls appear.

The Source settings determine how the digital media file is interpreted for use in the current workspace.
