Adding Nodes to the Schematic
 
 
 

You can add as many nodes as you need to create complex effects. Since Batch is designed to match your workflow, you add nodes in a similar order as you would by going from module to module.

To add a node to the schematic:

  1. From the View box, select BatchSchm or swipe the bar at the left to display the node bins.
    TipPress Ctrl+Tab to display the node bins quickly.
  2. From one of the four node bins, select a node.
    TipDrag in each node bin to scroll the nodes.

  3. Do one of the following:

    To use the node in the process tree, you must connect it to other nodes or clips. See Connecting Clips and Nodes.

  4. In the schematic, click the node to access the module for the selected node. For example, when you select an Action node in the schematic and you want to create a composite, click the Action node to access the full Action module.
    NoteSome nodes require you to enter their module by clicking the Edit button. Once you have performed your edits, click Return to return to Batch with the latest unprocessed setup for the selected node.

Repeat this procedure for all the nodes you set up in your process tree. For a description of each Batch node, see Batch: Node Reference.
