Video Nodes

The Video nodes enable you to create and modify interlaced video frames and fields and to transfer film to and from video frame rates. The Video Safe node modifies the colorspace of the input to conform to broadcast standards.

The 3:2 nodes perform telecine (film transfer) type operations, converting image sequences to and from film and video frame rates. Use 3:2 Pulldown to transfer film to video rates. Use 3:2 Pushup to transfer video to film rates.

The Interlace, Deinterlace, Merge, and Split nodes are field operators, in which frames are separated into fields or merged together into complete frames:

The Deinterlace node extracts either the odd or even field from each frame of the input. The Interlace node re-interlaces fields and requires two inputs, an odd field sequence and its corresponding even field sequence. For both of these nodes, the output sequence is the same length as the input.

The Split node separates each frame of the input into a pair of "field frames," one odd, one even, such that the output of the Split node is twice the length of the input sequence. The Merge node takes these split frames and merges the fields back together. This means that the output of the Merge node is half the length of the input.
