Output both matte and RGB results from a BFX output node to the timeline. Use the matte output results with Axis or Sparks soft effects for vertical compositing.

Using the dual inputs of the BFX output node, work in parallel with both front and matte clips from any BFX level. You can create a matte using any Batch node, in any order.

You can output a matte from a BFX level entered with the Pre or Post option. If you extract a soft effect from a matte segment, the Batch FX containing the matte setup is also expanded.
