TYPE: COP
TITLE: Merge COP

This operation merges the planes of several inputs together. Most of the
parameters determine how to handle differences in the sequences like image
size, frame range and plane conflicts.

Parameters:
    Plane Conflict    - Planes from different inputs with the same name are
                        in conflict. A conflicting plane is the second plane
                        or later which matches an existing plane name. This
                        parameter determines how to resolve the conflict.

	Rename Conflicting Plane  - The plane is renamed by adding a unique
                                    suffix number.
        Add to Plane Array if Identical else Rename - A plane array is created
						      if the planes' data
						      format and structure
						      match, otherwise the
						      conflicting plane is
						      renamed.
        Add to Plane Array if Identical else Ignore - A plane array is created
						      if the planes' data
						      format and structure
						      match, otherwise the
						      conflicting plane is not
						      merged in.
        Ignore Conflicting Planes - Any conflicting planes are not merged in.
        Error if Conflicts Occur  - A conflict flags a cooking error.

    Resolution Match  - If the resolutions of the inputs are not all the same,
                        this parameter determines how to choose the output
                        resolution.
    Size              - If Resolution Match is set to 'Specify a Resolution',
                        this is the parameter which specifies the size.
    Scale to New Size - If on, all inputs not matching the output resolution
                        are scaled to the output resolution, otherwise they
                        are cropped or extended with black.
    Scale Filter      - The filter to use when scaling images.
    Frame Range       - If the frame ranges of the inputs differ, this
                        determines what the output range should be.
    Frame Rate        - If the frame rates of the inputs differ, this
                        determines what the output frame rate should be.
    Frame Match       - If the frame rates of the inputs differ, this
                        determines which input frame to pick when the cook time
                        doesn't reside on a frame boundary.

Local Variables:
    L   - Sequence length
    S   - Start of sequence
    E   - End of sequence
    IL  - Input sequence length
    SR  - Sequence frame rate  
    NP  - Number of planes in sequence
    W,H - Width and height of image
