  • Grouping nodes within a CPW

    Posted by Eli Bierwag on August 30, 2012 at 8:43 pm

    I need to make a correction that requires multiple nodes, one that is basic color grade, one that is a tracking CPW for some subject face lighting and a corresponding outside node to reduce noise outside the subject’s face.
    The problem I’m running in to is that I would like to have all 3 of those nodes exist within the confines of a separate CPW that will shrink frame by frame. I want everything outside of this CPW to be unaffected.
    Is there a way to group my 3 nodes together, and put them inside a CPW? Or is there a way to ad a CPW node that will contain all 3 nodes, leaving everything outside unaffected?
    Thanks in advance.

    This is how I organize my nodes to have multiple serial nodes inside of a CPW. Not exactly what you’re asking, but you should be able to modify it to suit your needs.

    Nice Josh! I just feed the key from one node to the next in the chain. By default the key gets inverted, but you can re-invert the key and there by affect the same portion of the image. On the panels its a matter of adding an outside node, then invert, and repeat as many times as desired.
