Node list
The node list gives you a overview of all color correction steps of your look pipeline and allows to access the grade controls of each node.
Selecting a node#
By default, the grade control for the currently selected node is displayed on the right side of the node list.
Toselect another node, you can either
- click on the corresponding node within the node list
- use the Next/Previous Node menu items, Stream Deck, or Tangent controller actions
To display grade controls of all nodes regardless of the current node selection
- Go to the main menu Look and Filter > Nodes > Show > [All]
To define which node should be selected when switching slots, set the corresponding option in the menu:
- Look and Filter > Switching Slot Selects > [Last Selected Node]
- The node which was previously selected when adjusting the look of the slot will be selected.
- Look and Filter > Switching Slot Selects > [Same Node]
- The node with the same node name and type will be selected when switching from one slot to another.
Node list overview#
Let’s take a look onto the node list.
It can be found in the bottom-left of the main screen.
Node name textfield
Sets the name of the node. It can be changed in the edit mode of the node list.
Save button
Saves the look of the loaded shot.
Quick link button
Creates a link of the current node to all slots of the current slot type (e.g., input slots, temporary slots)The established link’s type will be “relative” if the node is a CDL or Saturation node.The established link’s type will be “overwrite” if the node is a LUT, transform, or curve node.
Ellipsis menu button
Opens more actions related to the look.
Link icon
Shows if the node is linked
Look name textfield
Sets the name of the current look.
Selected node
Selected node is highlighted in accent color.
Node type icon
Shows the type of the node. Learn more about node types and related grade controls.
Controller button
Indicates if a node will be affected when using an attached controller.On click, attached Tangent grading controllers will be locked.
Enable / Disable button
Enables/disables a node.
Pipeline tag icon
[only available if “Use 2nd pipeline” setting is enabled]
Shows if the node is tagged to a pipeline.
All / HDR / SDR switcher
[only available if “Use 2nd pipeline” setting is enabled]
All: Shows all nodes of the lookHDR: Shows all nodes that will be applied to the HDR pipelineSDR: Shows all nodes that will be applied to the SDR pipeline
Edit button
[only available in normal mode]
Enters the edit mode of the node list. The edit mode allows to
- Add and remove nodes
- Re-order nodes
- Edit a node’s name
- Set a pipeline tag
+ Add button
[only available in edit mode]
Adds a node of a certain type.
Done button
[only available in edit mode]
Exits the edit mode of the node list.
Adjustments icon
Indicates if any adjustments have been made in the node.
Ellipsis (…) menu node list#
Copy Look and Filters menu item
Saves the look and filters of the current shot to the clipboard.
Paste Look and Filters menu item
Pastes look and filters from the clipboard to the selected slot.
Paste Look and Filters to
Pastes look and filters from the clipboard to all slots of the current slot type (input slot, library slot, temporary slot).
Paste Look and Filters to
[only available on temporary slots]
Pastes look and filters from the clipboard to all temporary slots where shots were created by the same source slot.
Reset All Color Nodes to Neutral menu item
Resets all CDL and curve nodes to neutral.
Reset All Nodes to Neutral menu item
Resets all nodes to neutral.
Reset Look to Default menu item
Resets the node list to the default template of the grading mode.
Lock Grading Panels menu item
Locks attached Tangent devices.
Color Control Size menu item
Adjusts the size of the color controls.
Linked Nodes Table … menu item
Opens a table to overview existing links between nodes.
Contextual menu of node#
Link (Relative) menu item
Provides options to establish a relative link to nodes in other slots with the same name and type.
Link (Overwrite) menu item
Provides options to establish an “overwrite” link to overwrite nodes in other slots with the same name and type.
Reset node menu item
Resets the values of a node to neutral.
Disable node menu item
Enables/Disables the color correction of a node.
Pipeline menu item
[only available if “Use 2nd pipeline” setting is enabled] [only available in edit mode]
Tag a node to a certain pipeline, if the node should only be applied in a certain pipeline (e.g., output transform).Choose all if the node should be applied in all pipelines (e.g., look adjustment)
Order of nodes#
Editing the node list allows changing the order of the individual nodes. This also affects the image processing:
-
CDL and Saturation nodes will always be mathematically merged together. That means that the order within CDL and Saturation nodes does not affect the resulting image.
-
Curve and LUT nodes will always be processed from top to bottom. That means that the order of the curve and LUT nodes affects the resulting image.
The possibilities for re-ordering nodes are defined by the grading mode, which can be set in the slot settings.
