  Nodes acting strange when switching from node to node??

  Posted by Colin Travers on January 6, 2012 at 3:58 am

  Hello

  I feel like I read about this problem before here in this forum but after a search or two I cant seem to find it so here goes my seemingly embarrassing newbie question:

  When i double click from node to node either with the mouse or wacom pen adjustments from each node I switch to turn on or off with that respective effect (i.e. soft clip, sat, etc). I have not yet tried to see what happens when I use the Wave panel to switch between nodes and enable/disable BUT this is a new issue for me and I cant figure out what is going on and why this started?!

  Any thoughts?
  Thanks
  Colin

  If you click near the node number it will disable/enable the node.

  Either what Peter said, or the other I could think of is that you’ve enabled to see the mask I colors.
  Is the node crossed out with a red X or is it looking normal?

  It is not a red x i know that is enable/disable, what is ‘mask l’ not sure what you mean by that?

  Upon starting up my computer this morning the problem seems to have gone away so not sure what to say further but could it be a bug possibly that went away upon restart?

  I just want to track this down because it freaked me out and today I have 5 clients coming over to do a spot and I just cannot have anomalies like this obviously…

  thank you for your help thus far.

  I mean the way you show mask/matte when working with secondaries or the color picker. It’s a very useful tool to check whether you’ve selected more or less than what you want to affect.

  I believe that’s what you experienced. Restarting Resolve would naturally reset the effect like you experienced. But there’s also keyboard shortcuts and shortcut to toggle this if you have a control surface. If so, check the spec sheet for your control surface over at BMDs support section.

  It should be visible in the UI too if you check if the “Highlight” feature is enabled.

  Yeah it was not highlight or matte/mask i am pretty sure – it was happening with the first node with just contrast/color balance as well as my last node which was just softening highlights – not just windows or HSL’s – anyways its gone away now so oh well…
