Output node

An Output node is the end of a chain. Wire your finished picture or clip into it and press Export. It marks that result as the one you want, and makes it available to the rest of the project.

Without an Output node a graph still runs and still makes takes. What the node adds is the export: it puts the finished result where the rest of the project can reach it. Which take is the keeper is a separate thing, and you set that by approving it in Shots.

1. Add an Output node at the end of your chain.
2. Wire your finished result into it.
3. Press Export.
4. The result is a new take on the shot, on the Shots page. Add to Edit there puts it on the Edit timeline.

In the Inspector you can set the Resolution, Crop, Codec and Container of the exported file. Once it is made, Open / download result opens it.

The input can also be an uploaded clip or picture, wired straight from a Reference node. Source keeps its full size, so a 4K plate exports at 4K. The price follows the length of the clip. Sound and other files that are not a picture or a clip can't be exported.
