Purpose

 

This node allows you to load files of any type into your workflow, before passing them to other nodes.  For example, to load metadata files (such as .csv files) that you will then give to other nodes.

This node is also useful in order to connect a same file to multiple nodes while keeping the file specification independent, rather than loading it independently on each node.

Note: In principle, media files to be sent to nodes sensitive to image content should not be directly connected from this node, because this node can not extract information about their color space properties, resolution, etc. For image content you should use nodes capable to extract image metadata like Media Movie, Media Sequence, or specific nodes from the Camera Raw or File Formats categories.

Outputs

 

To: Any type of file loaded by this node will be sent through the "To" output.
