Viewing Rendered Versions of a Composition
 
 
 
NoteThis procedure is aimed at advanced Composite users.

In the Versions tab, you can view the list of all versions for a composition when you have that composition open. Once you have rendered versions of a composition, you can open and view any of them, as well as revert and render any unrendered compositions you may have.

To view different versions of a composition:

  1. Open a composition—see Opening and Viewing Compositions.
  2. In the tool UI, select the Versions tab.

    The Versions tab displays all existing versions of the composition. The working version of a composition is always listed first, followed by the most recently created versions.

  3. To view a version, double-click any entry in the list.

    The read-only version is opened. If the version of the composition is already open, then Composite switches to display it. If you double-clicked the working version, it is opened in read/write mode.

To view the list of all rendered results for a composition to which you are linking:

  1. In the Schematic view, right-click the Link Image node for the composition you are linking to, and select Open. The linked composition is opened.
  2. In the tool UI, select the Versions tab.

    The left side contains the list of all versions for the composition. The right side shows the result of the selected version.

To open a version:

  1. In the Versions tab, select a version to open and do one of the following:
    • Click the Open button.
    • Double-click the selected version.

To delete a version:

  1. On the left side of the Versions tab, select a version to delete and do one of the following:
    • Click the Delete button.
    • Right-click and select Delete.
    • Press Delete on the keyboard.

Reverting a Composition

Reverting to a previous version of a composition lets you replace the working composition by the previous one.

To revert the working version:

  1. In the Versions tab, select a version to revert and do one of the following:
    • Click the Revert Working To button.
    • Right-click and select Revert Working To.

    In the message box that appears, click OK to confirm the reversion.
