You can import media in any of the following formats:
| Format | File extension | Supported bit depths for imports |
|---|---|---|
| Bitmap | .bmp | 8 |
| Cineon | .cin | 10 |
| DPX | .dpx | 8, 10, 16 |
| HDR | .hdr | 32 |
| IFF | .iff | 8, 16, 32 |
| JPEG /JFIF | .jpg, jpeg | 8 |
| Open EXR | .exr | 16 bit float, 32 |
| Photoshop | .psd | 8 |
| PICT | .pict | 8 |
| PNG | .png | 8 |
| QuickTime | .mov | 8 |
| SGI | .sgi | 8 |
| Targa | .tga | 8 |
| TIFF | .tif, .tiff | 8, 16, 32 |
| WAV | .wav | |
| AIFF | .aiff | |
| MOV | .mov * | |
| MP3 | .mp3 |
* MOV format is only supported in Composite 32-bit. For 64-bit versions of composite, transform video files into image sequences.
You can produce results in any of the following media formats. For 4K and higher media, support is limited to tiled formats (OpenEXR, TIFF, and IFF).
| Format | File extension | Bit depth of produced result |
|---|---|---|
| Bitmap | .bmp | 8 |
| Cineon | .cin | 10 |
| DPX | .dpx | 10 |
| HDR | .hdr | 32 |
| IFF | .iff | 8, 16, or 32, depending on the composition. The media you create has the same bit depth as the composition. For 16-bit compositions, the bit depth of the created media is 16-bit integer (not 16-bit float). |
| JPEG /JFIF | .jpg, jpeg | 8 |
| Open EXR | .exr | 16 bit float, 32 |
| PNG | .png | 8 |
| SGI | .sgi | 8 |
| TIFF | .tif, .tiff | 8, 16, or 32, depending on the composition. The media you create has the same bit depth as the composition. For 16-bit compositions, the bit depth of the created media is 16-bit integer (not 16-bit float). |
| WAV | .wav | |
| MOV | .mov | |
| MP3 | .mp3 |
Composite guesses the pixel aspect ratio of images by comparing an image's resolution with a list of common combinations of pixel aspect ratio and resolution. You can, however, override the guess that Composite makes.
Composite can also store and retrieve the pixel aspect ratio information from file formats, such as .bmp, .jpg, .tiff, and .dpx. As a result, you get accurate pixel aspect ratio information of these types of images.
You can work with mixed resolutions in Composite. If a tool receives multiple inputs which have different image aspect ratios and bit depths, Composite changes the image aspect ratio and bit depth of all inputs to that of the primary input for the tool. When the original image aspect ratio/bit depth of an input does not match that of the primary input of a multiple input tool, the input tab on the tool node turns red to indicate the difference.
