Selected nodes appear highlighted in cyan, and if a selected node has any parameters,
they appear to the right, ready for editing. You can edit node parameters the same way
you edit parameters in any other room.
You can also choose the point in a node tree at which you want to view the image.
To show the image being processed at any node in the Node view
µ
Double-click the node you want to view.
The currently viewed node appears highlighted in yellow, and the image as it appears at
that node in the tree appears in the onscreen preview and broadcast output displays.
Note: Because double-clicking a node loads its image and opens its parameters in the
Parameters tab, it appears with a blue outline as well.
For more information on making adjustments to a node while viewing the effect on
another node downstream in the node tree, see
Viewing a Node’s Output While Adjusting
.
Viewing a Node’s Output While Adjusting Another’s Parameters
When you’re creating multinode effects, it’s often valuable to view a node that appears
at the bottom of the node tree while you’re adjusting a node that’s farther up the tree.
This way you can adjust any parameter while viewing its effect on the entire tree’s
operation.
In the following example, a high-contrast gauzy look is created with a series of nodes
consisting of the B&W, Curve, and Blur nodes on one side (to create a gauzy overlay), and
a Bleach Bypass on the other (providing high contrast), with both sides connected to a
Multiply node to create the gauzy combination.
