Tools Bin
The Tools bin contains effects and formatting nodes classified by tabs. The All Nodes tab contains all nodes
except the nodes found in the I/O bin. The other tabs in the Tools bin allow you to create and customize
bins.
Some of the nodes in the All Nodes bin are duplicated in other bins according to a preset tab classification.
For example, the Gradient node is found in both the Colour and Comp bins.
The nodes in the Tools bin are listed in alphabetical order from top to bottom of each row. You can customize
any of the bins and preset tabs in the Tools bin except the All Nodes bin.
Enable the Stereo Mode button below the Tools bin to access only stereo nodes (nodes not available as stereo
nodes are greyed out).
TIP Use the scroll bar under the applicable bin to scroll through all available nodes. You can also frame and
highlight all the nodes starting with the same letter by pressing the key corresponding to this first letter on your
keyboard while the cursor is sitting over a node bin. For example: pressing "K" while hovering the cursor above
the All Nodes bin automatically highlights all of the Keyer nodes.
User/Project Bin
The User/Project bin contains custom nodes classified by a User tab and a Project tab. Use this bin to save
custom setups per user or project. See
Creating Custom Nodes (page 443).
Creating Custom Nodes
Create custom nodes of specific setups that you use often. A custom node can consist of a single node with
specific settings or multiple nodes that create a particular effect.
You create custom nodes by dragging individual nodes, groups, branches, or entire trees into the User/Project
bin.
To create a custom node:
1 Click the User or Project tab to open the bin.
2 In the schematic, select a node or group of nodes.
3 Drag the selection to the User or Project tab.
4 Enter a name for your custom node.
The selection is copied to the bin. The original selection remains in the schematic.
To use a custom node:
1 Select a custom node from the User or Project bin. If necessary, scroll through the bin to find the node.
2 Drag the node to the schematic, or double-click the node.
The same configuration of nodes and clips that was used to create the custom node appears in the
schematic.
You can use custom nodes as often as you like. Each time you drag a custom node to the schematic, a
new number is appended to its name.
