Using Underlay Boxes
Underlay Boxes are a good way of associating a collection of nodes that work together to
perform a specific task in your composition. They’re simply colored rectangles that you can put
nodes inside of. Once you place nodes inside an Underlay, you can move the Underlay, and all
the nodes within move along with it.
An Underlay in the Node Editor.
Underlay Boxes can be named to identify the purpose of that collection of nodes, and they can
be colored to be distinct from other Underlay Boxes or to adhere to some sort of color code for
your compositions.

 To create an Underlay Box: Click somewhere in the Node Editor where you want the
Underlay Box to appear. Then, press Shift-Spacebar, type under, and press the Return
key when the Underlay Box appears in the Select Tool window. Alternatively, you can
open the Effects Library, open the Tools > Node Editor category, and click or drag the

Editor that you want surrounded by an Underlay Box. Then, press Shift-Spacebar, type
