Viewing a Source Node

There are different ways to view a source node while working in Action. For example, a 2-up view with Schematic and Source views allows you to view the complete scene and the interactive result of your source node.

The Src Working view provides you with the ability to view your source scene using a working camera, through which you can experiment without saving anything while preserving your camera setups. Each source node has its own working camera apart from the regular camera. See Setting Camera Views.

You can also select Source Result, Source Front, and Source Matte views from the View box.

To view a source node:

1. From the View box, select a Source view (or press F6).
