Houdini 22.0 Nodes Compositing nodes

Crop compositing node

Crops an image and changes its resolution.

Old network

As of Houdini 20.5, use Copernicus nodes instead of Compositing nodes. Though both networks still exist, the Compositing network is now designated as COP Network - Old. The Compositing network and its nodes will be deprecated and then removed in a future Houdini release.

This operation crops an image, reducing the resolution of the images. All information outside the cropped region is thrown away.

Tip

If you wish to retain the cropped data outside the frame (for possible downstream use), use a Window COP instead.

Tip

If you wish to crop an image without changing the resolution (by filling outer areas with black), use a Border COP.

Parameters

Method

The region cropped can either be represented by 2 opposite points of a rectangle, or the rectangles lower left corner and its width and height.

Units

Specifies the units to crop in, either pixels or UV.

Horizontal Crop

The left/right crop values. This parameter is not animatable.

Vertical Crop

The bottom/top crop values. This parameter is not animatable.

Offset

An animatable image offset, so the image may be panned through the cropped area.

Hold Edges Outside Image Bounds

This determines the behavior of the crop when the crop window goes outside the normal image bounds. If on, the edge pixels will be streaked outward to fill the outside area. If off, black pixels will be used.
