BFX Output Node
 
 
 

Use the BFX Output node to output Batch FX you have applied to a segment or a contiguous selection of segments. You can apply Batch FX using the same nodes that are available in Batch.

The BFX Output node accepts a front and a matte input. The node outputs the front as the RGB result. The matte is output as the alpha result.

The icon displayed on the node is dependent on its context. If the BFX level was entered with the Pre option, the icon background is grey. If it was entered with the Post option, the background is black. If matte input is attached to the node, the icon displays an A next to the original BFX symbol.
