Iāve havenāt done this before, but it seems to work:
Iāve saved mine into the user bin, which you can export.
So here is a preset with the two MG nodes that are linked for inversion of the Exposure. Download the file, unzip it into a folder. Then go to the User Bin, click Load. When it asks you if you want to clear your bin first click āCancelā (yes, misleading label - should say āNoā), in the file selection go to the folder where you unzipped the preset, select āNoneā and it will add it to your user bin.
Definitely donāt click ok on the prompt about clearing your bin or there will be tearsā¦
Maybe one or 2 . . . But it reminds me of the very early days (long before expressions) when we would invert a stabilization (only x and y position back then) by flip-flopping the image and then run it through the same stabilizer setup again, then flip-flop it back. This was also pre-batch.
@Sinan thanks for the tips with fluid - could have done with that a few years ago on a job instead of onion skinning my own paint.
I have used Advect before to tweak smoke but your way with the UV was much better!
@andy_dill pleasure treasure, as always. I did not know about the dropper thing interacting with the waveform - thatās gold. I usually jump into colour warper for that but not now.

Damn chaps - that was incredible! So many quick and simple techniques that would have saved me hours of work had i known these were possible.
Definitely a show to rewatch multiple times
Thanks for a great episode, lots of neat tips and tricks!
At the 8min mark there is mention of a āperspective grid stabilizer trickā - does anyone know where I can find it?
Iād love to add another stabilization technique to the olā toolbox, and as a fan of the perspective grid my interest is piqued to an almost worrying level.
@Sinan: I revamping my HiPass setup and I want to include Lumps, but I canāt get them to work. Iāve simply taken an image, broken it out into 3 passes, then recombined them, but the final looks like Iāve simply taken a blur pass and combined it with the original using Max/Lighten. Any pointers?
