Chapter 7 Using the Node View 219
Navigating in the Node View
Every effect in Shake is created by an individual node that has been inserted into the
node tree, and each node has its own specific function and parameters. As you build
progressively larger node trees, you’ll find yourself spending more and more time
navigating around the Node View as you make adjustments to nodes at various levels
of the node tree.
As with all the other areas of the Shake interface, you can pan and zoom in the Node
View to navigate around your node tree.
To pan in the Node View:
m Press the middle mouse button or press Option-click or Alt-click and drag.
To zoom into or out of the Node View, do one of the following:
m Press Control-Option-click or Control-Alt-click and move the mouse left to zoom out, or
right to zoom in.
m Press the + or - key.
The Node View Overview
A dynamic overview available in the Node View is a helpful navigation tool, especially
for complex node trees.
To toggle the overview on and off:
m Press O to display the overview. Press O again to hide it.
Drag within the overview to pan across the entire node tree.
The overview can be resized, making it easier to see.
