TYPE: COP
TITLE: File COP

This COP loads image files. File expressions that are not time dependent are 
interpreted as single images. Otherwise, the number in the filename is
considered to be the frame number of the image.

For numbered files, the frame range is automatically computed by searching the
directory where the files found. Missing frames will be replaced with black.

Parameters:
File
    File                 - The path of the file(s) to load. The file is searched
                           for using the HOUDINI_TEXTURE_PATH. Multiple files
			   can be specified with $F, $I or * for frame numbers.
    File Size            - Specifies the size of the file to load, either by at
                           the natural resolution or a custom size.
    Image Filter         - When the file size is overriden, this specifies the
                           image filter to use when scaling.
    Flip Image           - Flips the image vertically if on.
    Aspect Ratio         - Specifies the pixel aspect ratio of the image.
    Override File Raster Depth - If on, the raster depth of the file is
				 overriden by the depth specified by the Depth
				 and B/W Points parameters.
    Override Frame Range - If off, the frame range is automatically determined
			   by the lowest and highest frame numbers found in the
			   files.  Otherwise the "File Range Start", "File
			   Range Length", and "Shift to Start at Frame"
			   parameters set the range.
    Detect Frame Range   - If Override Frame Range is on, you can do a one-time
                           frame range detect of the sequence by pressing this
			   button.
    Still Image          - When checked, only the first image in the file range
                           will be read and a still image will be created
			   instead of a sequence.
    Shift to Start at Frame - Specifies the frame where the sequence should
			      start.  If this number is different from the file
			      range start, the sequence will be shifted
			      appropriately.
    File Range Start     - Specifies the number of the first file where the
                           sequence should start.  For example, if the file
			   name is file$F.tiff and the file range start is
			   15, the first file in the sequence will be
			   file15.tiff.  By default, this number is determined
			   from the first file found matching the file name
			   pattern, but it can be changed to create a sequence
			   of a subset of the files.
    File Range Length    - Specifies the length of the sequence.  By default,
                           this number is the number of files matching the
			   pattern.  It can be changed to create a sequence
			   of a subset of the files.
    Missing Frames       - If a frame is missing in the sequence, this
                           parameter specifies how to handle it.
    File Node Naming     - The File Node renames itself to match the
		       	   current file settings.  This parameter
			   controls how the new name is built.  User
			   Defined will disable this behaviour.
Proxy
    Enable Proxy Files   - Enables the use of proxies, which are smaller
			   versions of the full sized images. A proxy sequence
			   should be identical to the original sequence, except
			   for the resolution. When cooking the file COP at
			   other resolutions
                           than the proxy resolutions, the closest larger proxy
                           sequence is used.
    1/2, 1/4, 1/8 Res Proxy - Specifies the proxy sequence to use for 1/2,
                              1/4 and 1/8 of the full resolution.
    Custom Proxy         - Allows you to specify other proxy resolutions
                           and their proxy sequences.
Cineon
    Convert From 10 bit Log - When enabled, Cineon files are converted from
                              their native 10 bit log format to a linear color
			      space.
    Cineon LUT           - Specifies a LookUp Table (LUT) file which translates
                           the cineon file's log space into linear color space.
    Cineon White Point   - The white point is the cineon number that represents
                           90% intensity, used in the Cineon log to linear
                           conversion. This is not used if a LUT file is
			   specified.
    Cineon Film Gamma    - The film gamma adjusts the gamma of the Cineon
                           logarithmic curve, used in the Cineon log to linear
                           conversion. This is not used if a LUT file is
			   specified.
    Image White point    - Specifies the linear value that represents 100%
			   intensity (white), used in the Cineon log to linear
			   conversion.  This is not used if a LUT file is
			   specified.
