248 Chapter 11 Color FX
When you’re finished with the effect, you need to reassemble the fields into frames
using the Interlace node, connecting the Even branch of the node tree to the Even
input on the left and the Odd branch of the node tree to the Odd input on the right.
The Output node is attached to the Interlace node, and you’re finished.
If you don’t process each field separately, you may encounter unexpected image
artifacts, especially when using filtering and transform nodes such as Blur, Sharpen,
Stretch, and Translate.
Saving Favorite Effects in the Color FX Bin
When you’ve created a Color FX effect you really like, you can save it for future use
using the Color FX bin. This bin works identically to correction bins in every other room.
To save an effect in the Color FX room:
1 Move the playhead to a shot with a node tree you want to save.
2 Type a name for the effect into the File field underneath the bin (this step is optional,
but recommended).
3 Click Save.
