Thanks a lot, I think this is the fourth time I watch this video. The first time was overwhelming and I couldn't retain any knowledge. I came back later to see specific things that I needed. But today I was able to watch the whole thing in one go and now I was ready for the knowledge. I was also able to appreciate your amazing pace and how well you explain things with so much patience. I really feels that you are holding peoples hands while walking them through the different concepts.

The important thing you left out is how to save the output, and how you differentiate between render output and composite output, or video sequencer output. Right now Blender is telling me that "Video output formats (AVI, FFMPEG) are not supported. Please use Image file formats instead", and I'm trying to figure out why.

[@RyanKingArt]

ahh yeah I should have gone over that in the video.

[@dmennenoh]

[@whitebeard1953]

great stuff thanks for n easy to follow (almost) tutorial, had to play bits back though LOL One question, how do you actually save your image file(s) and animation to a HDD? I may be thick but....

[@RyanKingArt]

In the output properties, set the frames to be rendered into a folder. Then Press, Control F12, to render out the animation. Then, in Blender's video editor, you can add the rendered frames as in image strip. If you want to save one composited image, press F11, and that will take you to the Image Editor, then click on the top dropdown, and change it to, Viewer node. That will preview what the viewer node can see in the compositor. Then click on Image, and Save As. Then you can save your image. Hope this helps.

Hey, thanks for this tutorial. If i have to composite my render video of 120 frames, do i need to render the video first? Or just render a single farme and do composting on it.

[@RyanKingArt]

Yes, you can just render out the first frame, and then do the compositing. Then when you render all the frames, it will add the compositing to each frame.

How do you actually select part of the image if you wantt o dark or lighten just a certain part of it. Like if you wanted to darken just the cups or the tea pot but not the entire image??

[@kleber1983]

but how do you finish everything up and export the render? you missed that part...

[@RyanKingArt]

If you already rendered the scene, you can plug the composite and viewer nodes up to the final compositing, and it will automatically render the composite. Then, press F11 to go to the render result. Then click on the drop down, and click on viewer node, to preview the final image with the composting applied. then you can save the image by clicking on Image, Save As.

[@BrysonPrice]

When I hit Shift+A and click a node, the background doesn’t show up. I just get a box with an ‘X’ in it. Do you know why this is happening ? Thanks for this great video : )

[@RyanKingArt]

Try clicking on the Backdrop button, on the top right ish. Also, make sure you have the viewer node plugged up.

[@markaacademy1569]

I love this video. throughout... but it seems you missed something, you didn't talk about how i could export the composited images or videos....

Press F11 to go to image editor. then click on the drop down, and change to viewer node. Then click on Image, Save as.

Good morning. I completed rendering an image last night and took of the machine. Do I need to re-render in order to composit my image?

[@RyanKingArt]

It kinda depends on what your doing, but for most things, you can simply add in the rendered image into the compositor with the image node.

[@michaelpenco546]

@@RyanKingArt thanks much, pal

[@Somewhatdamaged1989]

I was wondering "why use the compositing tab if I already know how to make adjustments in Photoshop". Most of the adjustments actually works best in PS for me, but the Denoise and some of the filter nodes are REALLY powerful. Definitel gonna use it in my projects. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@rafvanraevels]

Hi Ryan. Altough I always save my rendered image (alt S and giving it a name), I not able to get it back in compositing once I have closed and reopened a file. What am I doing wrong? It' so frustrating.

[@RyanKingArt]

Yeah, unfortunately, Blender doesn't remember the rendered image data, so if you close and re-open Blender, you have to re-render the image before you can see and edit the compositing.

[@rafvanraevels]

@@RyanKingArt Thank you for the answer, Ryan. Is there a specific reason that this can't be solved?

[@RyanKingArt]

@@rafvanraevels I think its just because of how Blender works. it doesn't save the rendered data in the file when you close it.

How to add glare effect to car head lights animated video mp4

[@llYuki0okami]

I have a string of images ready. I would like to make graphic corrections on them, add sound and save them as a video. So I run VideoSequencer, add ImageSequence, but there are no images in the Compositing tab. If I add an ImageSequence in the Compositing itself, I am unable to save it as a video - if I press F12, it will be saved what I have in VideoSequencer without correction from Compositing ...

[@llYuki0okami]

Answer is - Go to OutputProperties->PostProcessing: check Compositing and unckeck Sequencer. It will render without sound so need to add it later.

By AE, do you mean After Effects? I've actually never used After Effects, so I'm not sure. But I believe After Effects is a program that focuses mostly on Visual Effects And compositing, where as Blender is a 3d software.

I learned so much about compositing by watching your video! Thanks so much for sharing. I was just wondering about this while watching, is there any advantage to using the denoiser available with the compositor instead of denoising while rendering such as using OptiX? I know there may be a small performance gain if the denoiser is not turned on while rendering, but I haven't tested to see how much, so I was curious. I always love your videos! 😃

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, I have tried that out, and I have found that the Denoise node is faster then using the Denoise in the render. So I always use the Denoise in the compositor instead.

[@3danith]

What I really don't like most about blender tutorials is "Shortcut key" only. How about if we don't use blender keymap? Like industrial compatible keymap? Showing where the tool is first, is kind of helpful. Some people would like to use icons click rather than shortcut key. Example: To mute, we can just right click and choose mute. Hope later tutorials show where the tool is first, before showing the shortcut key. Anyhow, good tutorials beside shortcut key.

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks for the suggestion! I will try to do that more in future tutorials. I like to use shortcut keys though, because it really speeds up my workflow.

@@RyanKingArt Thanks for listening to the feedback. I just want the tutorial for everyone and beginner.

[@jstartech2812]

Very good suggestion.

[@noiJadisCailleach]

^ THIS. Exactly this. In BEGINNER tutorials, especially. It confuses the hell out of me why 99% tutorial content creators out there, people who no doubt want this tool to be the industry standard - haven't thought of this yet. I immediately turned on industrial compatible keymap the first time i fired up blender in my life while playing around preferences. Having a SUPER hard time following tutorials, but i'm here for the long run.
