Node Operations

This entry covers a varied set of operations that can be performed in the Compositor View.

First, the very simple but useful feature of muting nodes.  This can be done by selecting a node in the compositor and pressing [M].  When a node is muted, the header turns red, and an visual bypass line is shown in red behind the node.

This is a toggle operation, so pressing [M] again will un-mute it.

This is very useful to try to review effect the node has on the render.



Next is the feature of removing a wire.  This can most easily be done by holding [CTRL] and holding the [Left-Mouse] button and dragging across any and all wires you want to remove.  You'll see a knife looking icon along with a trailing line to show which wires will be removed.
