The Denoise Node, you absolutely want to enable "Denoising Data" under render passes. And then plug the corresponding denoising normal and albedo to the denoiser node. It gives much better results that way.
True. What I've also found is that it's important to input the Noisy Image instead of just the plain Image, as it gives better results, especially on low sample counts. Also, if denoising albedo isn't working out for a render, I saw a suggestion to try enabling the Diffuse Color render pass and plug that into the albedo for the denoise node - I tried it and it can give better results in some cases, it did for me as I was rendering at 8 samples.
@@iviecarp I've always found that the noisy image node gave worse results and then I had heard that they're completely identical which is definitely counter to my experience. Pro tip, you can enable all the different render passes and then combine all the ones you want to use the denoising Normal/Albedo but do things like the volume pass separate where you don't want those things.
3:46 Remember that properties can be animated in the Compositor as elsewhere in Blender, so your Value and RGB nodes can be made to change their outputs over time. Interestingly, this applies to the Time node as well: you can animate those start and end frame numbers over time.
Subscribe to this guy, no excuses allowed. This fellow takes hours of his life learning what each node does and breaks it down into about 30 min long videos, for free.
As someone who doesn’t have a super beefy computer for 3d graphics with tons of effects compositing is really useful because it’s a bit easier to render images than highly detail 3d scenes. It’s a bit of a slower and tedious process but it saves my pc from exploding
Dude. I took notes on this the other day and wrote down every single node you went over and a blurb about most of them. I knew I was gonna need it. Wow. I was forced to do all of this stuff in the compositor today because my render kept glitching and I had to do it in layers and fix all of it and MAN. I knew every node that I needed because I watched your video and took notes. Didn't have to look at the notes. It's the act of taking them. Thanks so much for all of the info.
Man, how the hell can you be so awesome! You truly are a gem in Blender community! And I normally don't use exclamation mark but when I watch your videos, I just can help using it!
Great job as usual, Daniel! I'm a little late watching this one but it didn't disappoint! I've barely touched the compositor because it seemed so daunting. Thanks for taking down the intimidation factor! :)
You're a legend dude. You deserve ten times the subscribers you have. Love all your videos man! Just don't hurt yourself too bad by going without sleep ;)
I didn't really need the PDF version but I really like your content and want you to keep making more of it so I went ahead and bought it. Thank you for what you do!
Thank you very much for making these videos explaining every node, that nobody want to make. You explain them very well. It really saves a lot of time. Keep this amazing work!!
Daniel, This is a gift of information ! thank you so much for this obviously well thought out and time intensive breakdown of all the nodes. Really amazing and incredible resource for those of us who are learning the ins and outs of Blender, ! Thank you :)
These videos are so incredibly helpful! I thought I had a pretty good knowledge about the nodes but you always surprise me with some gems :D The Bokeh Image node for example looks reaaaally cool and I had no idea it existed :D Thanks a lot for your effort and I'm glad to support you by buying the PDF :)

22:02 I think normalization has to be based on examining the values over the entire input image, and mapping the lowest value to 0 and the highest to 1. Is anybody else immediately thinking of tricks involving extracting the normalization factor from this node and applying it to some other unrelated image?
32:46 Also useful for fanning-out one output into multiple inputs. This way, if you change your mind and decide to feed all those inputs from a different source, you only need to change one noodle.
14:59 The input doesn’t make it animatable. It just means you can feed something else (e.g. another image) in there. What makes it animatable is the fact you have a field you can edit and hit IKEY over.
20:32 If you didn’t have (or want) a vector-speed render pass, you could use something else. Like the depth value to give the effect of foreground moving faster than background, or the object ID to give the effect of a selected object moving faster (or slower!) than the rest.
Hi Daniel! your tutorials are amazing. I have an issue with Compositing CGI car into an EXR sequence live footage. The issue is that the CGI car appears over the person in the live footage. I masked out the person in the live footage in davinci resolve 19 studio, and imported the masked exr sequence into blender. How do I composite so the person in my live footage appears over the CGI car as he walks across it?
Dayyuuum bruh, you're the best! Thanx a lot! Man I bet a lot of paid tutorial makers are mad at you right about now. You're putting them out of business😹😹😹
Holy crap, you did it. Insane. I like the compositor and use it often. I like Resolve and Nuke a bit better but this is sweet. Hey, you passed me on sub count. That’s my queue to leave Blender lol. My channel is dead.
Hey Daniel. Hoping for a tutorial on how to bring a PNG image sequence into the compositor then give it glare and then export that as a FFMpeg video. I am getting lost trying to follow other tutorials because they don't exactly explain what I want help with. lots of how to bring a image sequence into to compositor and lots of how to ad glare to a single image but none of the start to finish process I mentioned above. Thanks for all the amazing video's

Thanks man!!
Thank you for putting this out, Daniel! Nodes change, people change, but the knowledge remains.
You worked so hard, I HAD to hit subscribe! Thanks for the effort dude!
...I finally understand how to do complex shading effects with masks for grease pencil thanks to this very in-depth explanation.
Thank you very much.
compositor is basically photoshop but free and with nodes lol
Also with image editor
And After Effects
Its basically the 5% of NukeX
And you can use videos
you just changed how i see things right now my dude
19:16 A job for some maths nodes, and possibly a value input node, to ensure the second scale factor is the reciprocal of the first.
21:40 I think it’s basically a dot product between the input Normal and the direction of the lighting in the interactive widget.
this man deserves so many more subs
If I had an online card I'd definitely support this guy.
I was checking all nodes individuallly and here u uploaded it!!! Yesss!!! Thanksss!

I never thought you'd do it so fast. You're the God. Wish I could be of some help to you man. I'm a freelance Retoucher and a mixing engineer.

8:29 Well, on its entire input image, at any rate. Which might be subject to masking and overlaying etc to make up the final image.
