Optics (Legacy)
Use Optics to add a glow effect to the clip in the process tree.
To access the Optics menu, use:
- Batch, then select a node from the Node bin.
- Timeline, then use Batch FX. See Creating Batch FX.
- Tools, then select from the menu. See Accessing Tools.
This node accepts front, back, and matte clips, and outputs a result.
The Optics node processes gaps in clips set to No Media based on the input tabs receiving the information.
| Input | Result |
|---|---|
| Front | No media |
| Back | Black frames |
| Matte | No media |

Optics is only accessible from the Batch and Batch FX All Nodes bin when Show Legacy Nodes is enabled.
