In the ConnectFX and Modular Keyer schematic, you can use the Alt + = (Select All Context Nodes)
keyboard shortcut to highlight all the nodes that are set as Context views. This is similar to the Find function
Meta + F.
You can display any of the set Context views in the Player, from the Timeline. You can select the desired
Context view, by clicking the drop-down arrow on its tab, at the top of the screen. This is possible as long
as the media in the Timeline is present in ConnectFX.
You can also display any of the set Context views in the Timeline FX Editors, by clicking the drop-down
arrow of the Context button. Again, the selected media segment must be present in ConnectFX.
You can also set node outputs as a Context view, for example the Matte Output.
About Implicit Selection in ConnectFX
Aside from Contexts 1 to 10, you have two other context views: Current Clip Node and Current Node.
■ Current Clip Node: When a clip is actively selected, it displays a yellow border. If you then actively
select a node, the node displays the yellow border and the last selected clip displays a dotted border - it
remains the Current Clip Node. You always have the ability to display the last selected clip node, whether
it is actively selected or not.
■ Current Node: When a node is actively selected, it displays a yellow border. If you then actively select
a Clip Node, the clip displays the yellow border and the last selected node displays a dotted border - it
remains the Current Node. You always have the ability to display the last selected node, whether it is
actively selected or not.
NOTE To display the Current Clip Node or the Current Node in the Viewer, select the view you want to display
from the View box in ConnectFX, on the Timeline Viewer tab, or from the Timeline FX user interface.
About Previewing Results in ConnectFX
While creating your process tree, you can preview results at any time. If you do not like the result of one
operation, you can modify or delete it without affecting the other operations in the sequence. You can
preview your results in ConnectFX by:
■ Using proxies in the schematic.
Double-click the result tab on the node to display or hide the proxy. If Auto Update is enabled in the
Schematic section of the Preferences menu, the proxy updates automatically as changes are made.
■ Selecting one of the options in the View box to view results at the current pipeline level in the image
window.
Select the node whose results you want to preview, then select an output or result view from the View
box (use a 2-Up view to view the schematic and result at the same time). In ConnectFX, you can select
CFX Timeline Result to see your composite in the context of the timeline.
■ Setting up to context nodes in Schematic view and viewing the results in context in the image window.
■ Using implicit selection to view results in context in the image window.
■ You can open a rendered ConnectFX clip in the full screen player directly in ConnectFX. In ConnectFX,
the Player button appears after you render, and displays the current CFX output.
