Isolate

Isolate is a new tool that is part of the Action family of nodes, which includes Action, GMask Tracer, and Image. It is available in Batch, Batch FX, and Modular Keyer as a node and in the Timeline as a Timeline FX.

While Action is a complete 3D environment, GMask Tracer is dedicated to creating mattes using garbage masks, and Image is dedicated to grading, Isolate is dedicated to creating mattes primarily using the Selective object's toolset.

The main differences from other Action family nodes are:

• Isolate has its own set of settings, including its own Default Setup.
• The Selective object is selected by default.
• There are no MasterGrade nodes connected to the Surface, Diffuse Map, and Selective objects by default.
• The default Diffuse Map is named diffuse instead of Primary.
• The background of the Matte output is always set to Black.
• By default, it only has a single Matte output.
• Isolate is not available from the Tools environment.
