Hi All,
As an AE user, I find myself completely lost with a simple task. My work flow in AE was:
Copy Premiere pro clips and paste into AE. At this point, I have 20/- 6 sec clips on 20 layers.
I apply a level, hue & sat, etc,, to each layer and adjust as needed.
Now, Picture me importing a MOV file that contains the same 20 scenes into nuke. As I scratched my head and made faces that resembled a monkey with a set of car keys, I soon realized that I have no Idea how to color correct, scene by scene.

My first guess was to key frame my settings, but this seems way to messy. I would have to set a key to evey slider I change,......Yeah. right, ....I don't think so..

So My question is:
How do you apply a cc node so it only effects frames 1- 80, then apply a new cc node to frame 81- 125, etc,etc...??
Thanks,
lou

Use your cc node on frame 1-80, have the second node ready use the switch node animatefrom frame 1-80 node 0 (first cc node), then on frame 81 change to node 1 (second cc node) you can change that way and have as many cc nodes with diferent values as your clip needs it.

Hope this is helpfull

Hi.
Yes, thank you.. After I posted, I started to play around with nodes, and came across the switch node. After 10 miutes using SWITCH, I now find it easier than AE !

Thanks,
Lou
