Re: Re: [Nuke-users] Default Pixel aspect ratio for Read Nodes
Hey Ivan, Doesn't have to be more than one format... just one will do. Try a test: 1. Write out a file without pixel_aspect in the header, like SGI with the format: 20x20 5 2. In a new Nuke instance, read that in. It's square; Nuke has no way of knowing it had a pixel_aspect of 5.0. 3. In a new Nuke instance, create a format in the root: 20x20 5 (you don't need to set it as the root format, just define it). 4. Read the same file back in and Nuke matches it to that format, pixel_aspect included. -E Read thg 2011/6/23 Ivan Busquets ivanbusqu...@gmail.com Formats.tcl file has nothing to do with Reader's aspect ratio. It does when there's more than one format defined with the same resolution, and the file does not contain metadata of its pixel aspect. In that case, Nuke will set the format of the Read to the first format in the list that matches the file's resolution, with whatever pixel aspect is defined in that format.

Re: Re: [Nuke-users] Default Pixel aspect ratio for Read Nodes
Yes, you're right Ean. I mentioned the multiple formats case because the debate originated from why would changing the order in formats.tcl make a difference. But sure, if there's more than one format with the same res, it'll match the first one; and if there's only one, it'll match that one, of course. I suppose a better statement would be: yes, formats already defined in the list of formats DO have an effect on the Read's pixel_aspect when pixel_aspect can't be recovered from the metadata Thanks for pointing it out, though.
