Houdini 22.0 Nodes Compositing nodes

Metadata compositing node

Applies metadata to an image sequence.

On this page
Since 16.0

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.

Metadata applied to an image sequence can be read via the copmeta or copmetas expression functions in other parameters. Metadata can be in a variety of different formats, such as scalar float, vectors, matrices, and strings. Metadata cannot be animated. Metadata is created and accessed by name.
