Enabling/Disabling Nodes during a long composition
Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2021 8:00 pm
It's probably been asked a bunch of times but I could not find an answer in a brief search. If I have a long composition with things coming in and out of frame, let's say a 5 minute composition, is there a way to disable nodes so they aren't constant just off screen or unblended? I've done this numerous times with short compositions by just keyframing blend on and off or making them go off screen but these are for short compositions and I assume they aren't taking much rendering power. If I have a long composition though is that the only way? Wouldn't that require massively long node trees that have nodes that don't need to be active anymore after a certain period?
Thank you.
Thank you.
