Another banger! (as they say). Great job! Workflows close to my heart as well
You might have got the Context 1 Context 2 from me and I got it from the incomparable Andy Milkis. Love these one off QoL tips that stick with you.

Couldn’t disagree more.
Context 2 is the plate.
Context 1 is the final.
I will not be taking questions at this time.

I wonder if there is an argument for a ‘Context-0’ feature…
Worthwhile pursuit?
Answers on a postcard and we’ll pick the winner on next week’s episode…
I expect that at least 100 people here have never seen a postcard…
There is a context-0. They call it “10”.

You need to have the fingers of Paganini to do the context-0 context-1 switch.

Good one. I usually also have the orig source and the final output (right before the render/write node) piped into a diff node, as default for any setup, so I can AB with F1/F2 at anytime throughout the process, freeing up C1/C2 if needed. And that diff node is cranked to the max for verifying the tail end plate integrity.
