Copying power window tracking data to an exiting node
Posted: Mon Apr 20, 2020 1:33 am
Hello,
I'm wondering if it's possible to copy tracking data from one node to another node that already exists and has adjustments. I want to copy tracking data only but keep all other adjustments exactly as they are. Creating a new node and copying and pasting is not ideal in this situation. While I would have my tracking info identical, as desired, I would lose all my other adjustments.
I've made a color grade and "grabbed a still". When the still is applied to other shots it looks great except that I, of course, have to manually redo the window tracking as all the shots are slightly varied. I've made a power window that perfectly tracks a person's face to give a slight lift in the shadows so that their face is a bit brighter (node 1).
I have another node (node 2) right after this one that darkens, saturates and does other things to everything in the shot except the face (reverse power window/invert selection?...I don't quite know the proper terminology for this). I want to be able to use the tracking data from node 1 while keeping my adjustments in node 2.
In an ideal world I could copy this tracking data, click the invert selection button and then all my adjustments from node 2 would active and affecting everything EXCEPT the face. Because both nodes 1 and 2 would be identical, I wouldn't have to worry about weird artifacts with the two power windows being misaligned.
Sorry if I'm not being clear, I'm having difficulty trying to explain this especially as I'm a beginner!
