What's New in Batch and Batch FX

| Improved Node Bin navigation It is now possible to frame and highlight all the Nodes starting with the same letter by pressing the key corresponding to this first letter on your keyboard while the cursor is sitting over a Batch, BFX, Action, or Modular Keyer Node Bin. For example: pressing "K" while hovering the cursor above the Batch node bin, will automatically highlight and centre all the Keyer nodes.
| Back Clip Node in Batch FX and Gap Batch FX You can now create Gap BFX on the timeline. Using a new Back clip in BFX, it gives you access to the superior Timeline level, giving access to the media located below the BFX segment you are currently working on.
| Batch FX Workflow It is now possible to copy a Pre BFX to the Editdesk so it can be dropped on another clip.
| Adaptive Degradation in Batch and Batch FX Settings are now available in a new Adaptive Degradation tab of the Batch Setup menu to allow you to temporarily deactivate taxing operations during interactive manipulations on supported nodes. These settings do not affect the final renders. If propagated, nodes in the Batch pipeline respect the degraded image, and you would need to press Preview to see your results with full settings on. An icon is displayed in the image window when degradation is active for the selected node. The same icon is also displayed above supported Batch nodes in the schematic that have degradation activated from the NodeSetup menu. Use the hotkey Ctrl+Shift+D to toggle Batch degrade propagation on or off. For individual nodes that support Adaptive Degradation in Batch (such as Action and Recursive Ops), you can press Ctrl+D to activate or deactivate degradation for the current node. Use the Synchronize All button in the Node Setup menu of supported nodes to synchronize all nodes of the same type with the degradation settings of the current node. New settings for Batch Interactivity appear in the Action node setup menu giving you degradation options in the Batch pipeline for motion blur, software anti-aliasing, and depth of field.
| Timewarp Node The new Timewarp node allows you to change the speed and timing of clips, reverse clips and blend frames. See Timewarp Node.
| MUX Node There are new Range settings available for the MUX node, which allow you to set the range of frames that will be impacted by the node and affect the way the frames appear.
