Hi folks,
I'm really struggling to get my head around node caching.
Please take a look at the film linked below.
In it you see i insert a channel booleans to turn the image red.
I then cache the node after it.
After that i first mute, then unplug, then delete the booleans.
My image remains red. So it must be cached.
After that i unplug the source material.
My image disappears.
This makes no sense to me!
Surely the whole idea of caching a node is so you can mute or even delete everything else that comes before it in the tree, to free up resources for elsewhere in you comp?!
