Automatic Node Editor Navigation
If a node that is not visible in the Node Editor becomes selected, either by using the Find
command or by selecting a node’s header in the Inspector, the Node Editor will automatically
pan to display the node in the visible area.
Using the Node Navigator
Another useful way to pan around the Node Editor is to use the Node Navigator. The Node
Navigator is a small rectangular overview in the upper-right corner of the Node Editor. It gives a
bird’s eye view of the entire composition, with an inner outline that indicates the portion of the
composition that is visible in the panel. You can use the Node Navigator when you are zoomed
in on a node tree and want to pan around a composition.
