Color nodes

Nodes organize a grade into explicit processing steps.

Node types

Serial nodes process one after another. Parallel branches and layer mixers combine corrections. Key mixers combine matte inputs. Outside nodes invert a source key for complementary work.

Shared nodes can link a correction across clips. Group pre-clip and post-clip structures support common scene-level adjustments around clip-local grades.

Node controls

Nodes can be selected, labeled, colored, disabled, bypassed, framed, and versioned. Connections determine evaluation order.

Safe graph editing

Avoid cycles. If a correction is not producing the expected result, inspect node enable state, key inputs, mixer order, and the active viewer mode.

Persistence

Node data is stored with the grade and restored with the project. Shared and group relationships remain part of the project color state.
