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 from the Schematic view into the User, Project, or Shared bins.

To create a custom node:

1. Click the User, Project or Shared tab to open the bin.

2. In the Schematic, select a node or group of nodes.

3. Drag the selection to the User, Project, or Shared bin.

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

To delete a custom node from the User, Project, or Shared bins:

Use one of the following methods to delete a bin:

1. Click and hold a node, then drag it to the bottom of the screen.

2. Select the node and click the Delete button in the Nodes section located below the bin.

   Warning: There is no undo capability when deleting a custom node.
