Adding and Connecting Nodes to the Process Tree
To add a node from the node bin to the schematic, either double-click a node or drag it directly to the
schematic. There are several ways of connecting clips or nodes together, either manually or automatically.
TIP When adding nodes to the schematic in ConnectFX, the resolution of a clip can be applied to a specific node
using a keyboard shortcut. To do this, select the node to resize and T+Click the clip whose resolution is to be
applied.
To insert a node between connected nodes:
1 Do one of the following:
■ If Auto Insert is enabled in the Prefs menu Schematic settings, drag a node and navigate to the link
between two connected nodes. The link is highlighted in orange.
■ If Auto Insert is disabled in the Prefs menu Schematic settings, press and hold Option, then drag
a node and navigate to the link between two connected nodes. The link is highlighted in orange.
2 Release the node.
The node is inserted, while retaining the input and output connections.
To connect nodes automatically with autolink:
1 Use the Autolink feature by pressing Option and dragging a node to another node so their tabs touch.
Action: Press and hold Shift while dragging the Negative node to the Keyer node
