Creating Custom Nodes

Create custom nodes of specific setups that you use often. A custom node can consist of a single node with specific settings or multiple nodes that create a particular effect.

You create custom nodes by dragging individual nodes, groups, branches, or entire trees into the User/Project bin.

To create a custom node:

1. Click the User or Project tab to open the bin.
2. In the schematic, select a node or group of nodes.
3. Drag the selection to the User or Project tab.
4. Enter a name for your custom node.

   The selection is copied to the bin. The original selection remains in the schematic.

To use a custom node:

1. Select a custom node from the User or Project bin. If necessary, scroll through the bin to find the node.
2. Drag the node to the schematic, or double-click the node.

   The same configuration of nodes and clips that was used to create the custom node appears in the schematic.

   You can use custom nodes as often as you like. Each time you drag a custom node to the schematic, a new number is appended to its name.

To manage the custom node bins:

1. Select any of the following from the buttons below the bins.

   Select:	To:
   Load Project Bin or Load User Bin	Load custom nodes from another project or user. Note: If you load unsupported nodes, the unsupported nodes appear greyed out when dragged to the schematic.
   Save Project Bin or Save User Bin	Save the current custom nodes so they can be loaded by another project or user.
   Reset Project Bin or Reset User Bin	Delete all custom nodes in the Project or User bin.
   Sort	Place the nodes in the bin in alphabetical order.

To delete a custom node from the User/Project bin:

1. Press Alt+Win and drag the node to the bottom of the screen.
2. Release the cursor when it changes to a delete cursor.
   Danger: There is no undo capability when deleting a custom node.
