Read

Loads images from disk, using the native resolution and the specified frame range. The Read node supports multiple file formats but it is recommended to use B44 encoded EXRs or NotchLCs to give the best performance. B44 EXRs can be exported from Nuke into Nuke Stage.

This node has an equivalent in Nuke.

Note:  Nuke Stage also supports .bmp, .jpg, .png, .tiff and .hdr formats, but performance is not optimal and the full specifications of these formats is not supported.

Note:  B44A EXRs are not supported by Nuke Stage.
