dest

Dest is the predefined output buffer for sending filter or transition results back to Final Cut Pro. Whatever is in the dest image buffer at the end of the FXScript is what will be seen in the viewer.

Additional Notes

Size of dest

The size of the destination buffer is the size of the underlying source in a filter and the size of the canvas in a generator.

This means that a filter cannot draw beyond the borders of the source, even if the source is only 50x50. But it can draw beyond the borders of the canvas if the source is bigger than the canvas.

A generator can never draw beyond the borders of the canvas.
