Viewing Clips

When building up composites, you will be working with a number of different nodes. It is possible to view more than one in the Viewer pane at the same time. There are a few ways of working with these different nodes.

Topics covered:
Tiled View
Tabbed View
Difference View


Tiled View

When you first put down composite operators, you can view multiple operators at the same time in a couple of ways. The first is to press the MMB-click when you are creating a new operator. This will add the new operator into the Viewer pane as a new view. You can also go to the Network pane and with the Shift key, click on multiple Display flags.

When you have both display flags set, then they will show up in the Viewer pane together.

When viewing the operators, you can view them independently or link them together with the following button:

Tabbed View

If you want access to multiple operators but only want to see one at a time, you can set up the images using the techniques mentioned above then press the t key to toggle into tabbed view. This shows you only one clip with the others listed as tabs on the bottom of the screen. Click on a tab to bring up that operator. The t key will toggle back and forth between these viewing methods.


Difference View

In some cases, you might want to make a direct comparison between clips. In the Viewer pane, select Ctrl-RMB > Diff to bring up that Control bar. In the Network pane, set the Template flag on one of the tiles and the Display flag on the other.

Now you can select from a list of techniques for differencing the images. This list is found in the middle of the Diff bar. Shown below is the Split Horizontal diff.
