Render Frame / Passepartout for the compositor
It's common to work with different size images in the compositor. Especially when working with images larger than the actual render size it's not quite clear where the image shown in the backdrop will be cut off in the final render. It would be nice to have something similar to the camera Render Frame and/or Passepartout that we know from the 3d view. It would clearly indicate which area on the backdrop will actually be rendered. I am attaching a mockup.

* @zgorg2004 * Interesting video. It gives even more ideas. E.g. the comp preview could be in a separate window like it is in the VSE or in Natron etc. The node do get in the way when you try to see the backdrop. But this proposal is about Render Frame/ Passepartout so I'll keep it that way.
Yea, it can definitely be difficult to tell what's going on when cropping or resizing an image in the composited. Upvoted!
