Active button Enable to activate the LUT settings.
Back Clip Settings
These settings are available for a ConnectFX Back Clip created for a timeline adjustment segment.
Head Media box Select what media is available before the In Point of the adjustment segment. Select
Timeline Level to have the Back Clip read the head media from the segments preceding (and below) the
adjustment segment.
Tail Media box Select what media is available after the Out Point of the adjustment segment. Select Timeline
Level to have the Back Clip read the tail media from the segments following (and below) the adjustment

Adding Media to an Action Node
To add indirect media to an Action node:
1 In the ConnectFX schematic, double-click the Action node and then click Media in the Action menu.
2 From the Media List box, select New Input.
A Media node is added to the Action node.
Notice that the Media list is empty. Although you have added a Media node to the Action node, you
have not yet added any media.
3 Connect front and matte clips (image clips, or the output of another node in the ConnectFX process
tree) to the red and blue input tabs of the Media node, respectively.
The Media list is updated with the indirect media. Brackets (“[ ]”) around the clip names indicate the
media is indirect.
When you select a Media node in the schematic, the corresponding media in the Media list is
highlighted. Conversely, selecting media in the Media list highlights the corresponding Media node
and the link to the Action node.
NOTE A red dot in the Media node indicates an input resolution mismatch between the front and matte
clips.
To add direct media to Action using Clip Select:
1 In the ConnectFX schematic, double-click the Action node and then click Media in the Action menu.
