Hasta La Motion!

Over the years Ive been in the US, which is about 4 years now, I learned a lot about the film industry, politics of the hiring game, do’s and dont’s, etc. I won’t write down my worklife’s story (use the search function i wrote it somewhere I think) here to not double up scott’s thread but instead openly Invite our readers to ask questions about whats going in companies nowerdays, why you dont get replies from the 5 companies you email, why it seem all the work goes elsewhere and why aruna’s vfxwages is so important to all of us.

So shoot away! the audience is listening. PM me if you like, IM if you feel the need for a FAST reply.

1) Is there a way to change the arrow color between nodes?
I’d like to give different colors. For example, when I create a gizmo, I’d like to give a different color for each entry.

1a) When making a gizmo or when using a node with multiple entries, like a front, a background and a mask for example,
is there any shortcut to display each one?
On flame, for example, you have F1, F2, F3, F4 —> front, back, matte, result
It’s very usefull to check what the entries are.

2) Is there a way to prevent the software to open the property related to a node when inserting a node?
(imagine a pane with 3 tabs: node graph, curve editor and properties)

3) Is there some kind of collapse function for a group of node
I don’t want to make a group but just collapse visually some nodes together and if needed, I uncollapse in order to adjust some parameters …

4) Ctrl + t allows me to go from a tab to another,
is there a way to assign a shortkey to specific tabs? (imagine 3 tabs on the same pane)

5) Is there a way to display the same viewer in 2 different tabs?
If I zoom in viewer 1, it zooms in viewer 2 but I’d like to see the R on the left and the G on the right tab. (or RGB and alpha) with the same value of zoom
But zooming works exaxtly in the same way on both viewers.

6)Is there a way to increase the size of a node
I usually rename my node and it’s bigger than the node 🙂

Thanks
