DeepFromFrames

The DeepFromFrames node copies multiple input frames from a regular 2D image to samples in a single deep frame.

Connection Type	Connection Name	Function
Input	unnamed	The image sequence from which you want to copy the frames from.

Control (UI)	Knob (Scripting)	Default Value	Function
DeepFromFrames Tab
samples	samples	5	Sets the number of frames to sample the input at.
frame range	range_first	1	Sets the start frame for sampling the input. For example, with the default samples value (5) and frame range value (1-9) DeepFromFrames samples at frames 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9.
frame range	range_last	9	Sets the end frame for sampling the input. For example, with the default samples value (5) and frame range value (1-9) DeepFromFrames samples at frames 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9.
premult	premult	enabled	Set whether the input needs premultiplying. When disabled, DeepFromFrames assumes that the input is already premultiplied.
split alpha mode	alpha_mode	multiplicative	Set how the alpha channel is split: • additive - performs a straight division by the number of samples. This does not result in the original alpha values if the deep samples are flattened later on. • multiplicative - the samples are split so that each is 1-pow(1-alpha,1/numSamples). If the deep samples are flattened later on (for example, using DeepToImage), the alpha values match the originals.
zmin	zmin	1	Sets the depth at which the first sampled frame is placed. This is the front-most sample in depth.
zmax	zmax	2	Sets the depth at which the last sampled frame is placed. This is the furthermost sample in depth.
