Using the Node View
The principal advantage to cloned nodes is that changes made to one cloned node are
automatically applied to every other cloned duplicate of that node within your script.
To create a clone of a node:
1
Copy a node by pressing Command-C or Control-C.
2
Paste a clone of that node by doing one of the following:
•
Right-click in the Node View, then choose Edit > Paste Linked from the shortcut
menu.
•
Press Command-Shift-V or Control-Shift-V.
Note: You cannot clone Tracker, LookupHSV, or FilmGrain nodes in the node tree using
the Paste Linked command.
The cloned node is pasted, and automatically named OriginalNode_CloneN, where N is
the number of clones that have been made. You can clone a node as many times as
you want, and all cloned nodes are linked to the original node. In the following
screenshot, the Gamma1 node has been cloned twice, in order to apply an identical
gamma correction to the other two images in the tree.
The links between cloned nodes can be viewed by turning on ShowExpressionLInks in
the enhancedNodeView subtree of the Parameters tab (and then turning on
enhancedNodeView). For more information, see “
