Re: resize node in FX tree (crop)

[Sylvain Moreau <sylvain.moreau(at)videotron.ca>]

Yep,  there is still a problem in V5

Try using absolute pixel size = 720*486, it will give you a render of 
720*487.
I did an HD job last week and I also delivered a rescale D1 NTSC croped 
version. My D1 was 720*487... original but a bit embarassing...

Anyway, here is another one I find much more annoying

Try that:
- load any pic
- crop 50 pixels right and left (the preview is ok)
- render (the render is not ok, you get 50 pixels of black on the left)

You can work around it using an extra "Transorm 3D" node but It is quite 
inconvenient and not WYSIWYG, it does look like a bug

Here is the script (you need to load your own pic)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AddFxOp "FxTree", "Crop"
AddFxOp "FxTree", "File Output"
SetFxOpPos "FxTree.FileOutput", 216, 342
SetFxOpPos "FxTree.Crop", 214, 242
ConnectFxOp "FxTree.FileIn", "FxTree.Crop", "1"
ConnectFxOp "FxTree.Crop", "FxTree.FileOutput", "1"
SetPaintStore "FxTree.FileIn"
SetValue "FxTree.FileIn.FileName", "YOURPIC.pic"
SetPaintStore "FxTree.Crop"
SetValue "FxTree.Crop.OutputCropRectangle.Left", 50
SetValue "FxTree.Crop.OutputCropRectangle.Right", 670
SetPaintStore "FxTree.FileOutput"
SetValue "FxTree.FileOutput.EndFrame", 1
RenderFxOp "FxTree.FileOutput"
SetValue "FxTree.FileOutput.LaunchFlipbook", False
Flipbook "" & Chr(34) & "YOURCOMP.pic" & Chr(34) & " 1 1 1 29.970030"
Copy

Transform3d doesn't work I don't think.  How do you set it to 720x486?  I 
tried adjusting the y scale to a value of .8 which it says is 720x486 but 
clearly its now too squashed.

So what is the result at the end when you go through Resize or Transform3D?
Do you get visual problems, fragments or is the color depth of the original
input messed up?

When I try here I don't see any problems I know from Tint here ...

Any chance the resize node in the FX Tree could be fixed!!!  That
thing is
driving us nuts for the past few versions of XSI.
