toxik..very fustrating help pleaseeeeee
by lou cann on Oct 18, 2009 at 5:12:47 pm

Hi all,
Ok, i'm an after effects user that is trying to understand toxik.
I have a very simple background image and a foreground image that is merged by a BLEND & COMP node and is ended by an OUTPUT NODE.
Great all looks good, I have a simple composite. However, if I want to color correct the foreground image, I, insert a cc basic node (infront of FG image) click on the cc node and use the cc basic parameter at the bottom of the screen Great, but when I do that, I don't see the final composite. I only see the FG image. If I want to see the full composite, I have to click on the OUTPUT NODE. So, like an idiot, I'm pressing the cc node, make adjustments, click on the OUTPUT node, look at the results. Ok, I know this is NOT the work flow.
I've looked at videos that are few and far behind.
Can someone get me past this simple problem?
So to sum up the question,
How do you color correct an image while viewing the end result composite?
Thanks,
Lou

The default is to have a player set to display tool output that is why you are seeing the end result of whatever tool you are selecting. Bring your curser over the player and hit the “7” key above your number keys. This is the hot key to display the compositions output. Now you can select the CC basic or any node and make adjustments while viewing the end result of the comp. If you want to display the tools output again hit the “6” key above the number keys.

BTW I will have an 8 hour training DVD set shipping on November 1st.
