I have a video clip on my timeline that's 3840x2160 that I split in 2 in order to freeze it on that frame. I selected the 2nd clip and clicked the Fusion tab to open it in Fusion. Now I want to composite another clip that's 1920x10980 on top of the other clip, but I can't because they're 2 different sizes.
If I try adding a background node, that doesn't work, because it's at the larger size.
How do I fix this?
Thanks
actually your understanding of how sizing in fusion works is kinda off it seems.
at each step in the node graph the image has a certain size. That size is basically defined by the first node (if it remains the background layer in all of your merge operations) in the chain. if that's a background node with FHD as default, you get FHD. if the first thing is a video file, you get the resolution of the video from the metadata.
to change the resolution of the image you would need to add a resize or crop node or comp it OVER (meaning foreground) a node with different resolution.
I'd suggest you always pipe inputs with a loader node or by using a MediaIn node.
going the route of right-clicking in the timeline and chosing "new fusion comp" can make it complicated (because if will default the resolution to your timeline res)
