"Oh my god, you're the best Blender teacher! I love the way you explain things with such a calm voice and a smile. Thank you so much for all your hard work!"
Thanks a lot, I think this is the fourth time I watch this video. The first time was overwhelming and I couldn't retain any knowledge. I came back later to see specific things that I needed. But today I was able to watch the whole thing in one go and now I was ready for the knowledge. I was also able to appreciate your amazing pace and how well you explain things with so much patience. I really feels that you are holding peoples hands while walking them through the different concepts.
Thank you so much for this! I've been using blender for a while now but I never really touched the Compositing window except for denoise because I know nothing about it. This is very informative and very helpful!
have to say, after trying a few of these edits, it feels like my rendering, which has always been a weak point for me, has had booster rockets fitted; amazing results; thanks again, Ryan
Thank you for the tutorial,been struggling with this for an embarrassing 2 years,after watching this video I am already making elaborate node trees and really getting into it.This video deconstructed and made it really really approachable ,keep up the good work as its much appreciated.
This was really great, thankyou. I am looking to composite an animation that I have made in blender. You mention at the beginning of this video that you would show how to do that. I think I am confused still as how to do that.
WOW! Thank you so much for this video. I loved that you take your time to point out what each thing is and that is why I'm subscribing and staying for a very long time. Please more BLENDER content.
Damn, was hoping to learn more about mist passes and god rays but this helped me understand the basics of how the compositor works anyway so many thanks Ryan
I like your videos very much. You can explain clearly and your tuts are great without doing a "funny" things like voice changing, face expressing etc., which are popular by other artists. Thank you very much.
Super useful video Ryan! Knew most of this stuff already but V will help resize the image without going into the n panel. Also hue correct is huge! Didn't realize you can target individual color values like that and correct just them.
Thank you! This is a big help for like me who just started learning blender. Btw I have a question, after all of that I just need to export it into images and it will automatically applied all the effects?
When I hit Shift+A and click a node, the background doesn’t show up. I just get a box with an ‘X’ in it. Do you know why this is happening ? Thanks for this great video : )
Really amazing Ryan thanks. But please was this compositing tutorial done in eevee or cycles , also, if it’s cycles, is the ‘denoise mode’ still needed even when cycles renders out with denoise . Thank you
Thanks Ryan, I'm in the process of transitioning from Nuke to Blender for my personal project. I still need to learn how to use render layers for Blender to do proper compositing🤣. Hope I can get the hang of it soon ^ ^
By AE, do you mean After Effects? I've actually never used After Effects, so I'm not sure. But I believe After Effects is a program that focuses mostly on Visual Effects And compositing, where as Blender is a 3d software.
Your ability to share information is ... well. ... Is "Is the way" - - Star Wars ref... You are obviously conquering something so grand by your ability to communicate and I appreciate it.. Okay. Thanks.
great stuff thanks for n easy to follow (almost) tutorial, had to play bits back though LOL One question, how do you actually save your image file(s) and animation to a HDD? I may be thick but....
In the output properties, set the frames to be rendered into a folder. Then Press, Control F12, to render out the animation. Then, in Blender's video editor, you can add the rendered frames as in image strip. If you want to save one composited image, press F11, and that will take you to the Image Editor, then click on the top dropdown, and change it to, Viewer node. That will preview what the viewer node can see in the compositor. Then click on Image, and Save As. Then you can save your image. Hope this helps.
@@RyanKingArt many thanks, so simple when you know how, it just didnt seem obvious to me... thanks again for the tutorial, excellent! I'm just getting back into 3D after many years absence, I dabbled way back with Imagine on the Amiga, how things have changed!!!
The important thing you left out is how to save the output, and how you differentiate between render output and composite output, or video sequencer output. Right now Blender is telling me that "Video output formats (AVI, FFMPEG) are not supported. Please use Image file formats instead", and I'm trying to figure out why.
I was wondering "why use the compositing tab if I already know how to make adjustments in Photoshop". Most of the adjustments actually works best in PS for me, but the Denoise and some of the filter nodes are REALLY powerful. Definitel gonna use it in my projects. Thanks for the tutorial!
I learned so much about compositing by watching your video! Thanks so much for sharing. I was just wondering about this while watching, is there any advantage to using the denoiser available with the compositor instead of denoising while rendering such as using OptiX? I know there may be a small performance gain if the denoiser is not turned on while rendering, but I haven't tested to see how much, so I was curious. I always love your videos! 😃
Thanks for watching! Yeah, I have tried that out, and I have found that the Denoise node is faster then using the Denoise in the render. So I always use the Denoise in the compositor instead.
@@RyanKingArt Awesome! Thank you for the response! This is great to know. I'll be using the compositor denoiser more in the future. Thanks again for your fantastic content and I hope you have a great rest of your weekend! 😃
Hey, thanks for this tutorial. If i have to composite my render video of 120 frames, do i need to render the video first? Or just render a single farme and do composting on it.
Yes, you can just render out the first frame, and then do the compositing. Then when you render all the frames, it will add the compositing to each frame.
If you already rendered the scene, you can plug the composite and viewer nodes up to the final compositing, and it will automatically render the composite. Then, press F11 to go to the render result. Then click on the drop down, and click on viewer node, to preview the final image with the composting applied. then you can save the image by clicking on Image, Save As.
How do you actually select part of the image if you wantt o dark or lighten just a certain part of it. Like if you wanted to darken just the cups or the tea pot but not the entire image??
Hi Ryan, I hope you are well. My wife and I are still very grateful for the help you gave a few months ago and I have been following various tutorials trying to learn about different parts of blender. I did hit an odd problem with compositor a couple of days ago and cant find an answer on google. If you have time, it would be a great help if you could may be give me clues / ideas on how to fix. Im using Blender 3.0.1 on linux. Every thing has been working fine and I was using compositor and the back ground view stopped working an odd way and I have no idea what I did. I came out of blender, created a new general project that way its as clean as can be. Added an image seq. Added the viewer and pointed the image to the viewer. Use nodes, backdrop selected. As expected the start image is shown. If I move the play head along the time line with the mouse, the viewer updates as it should. If I press play on the time line it plays but the viewer has stopped updating. It used to play along with the time line. If I press pause on the time line, the viewer displays the correct image for the position the play head is on. I tried resetting prefs to defaults, although it I had not changed it but thought try to remove anything which may cause the problem. Do you have any ideas what silly thing I may have done to stop this from working. I can scroll along moving the play head by hand but it would be nice to actually watch the seq without having to render it out. T Thank you for any ideas you may have, I'm sure I have done something silly without realizing. J.
@@RyanKingArt Hi, Thank you for taking the time to look and answer. Ive just updated to 3.0.1, latest node wrangler still the same. Its odd it was working then stopped. So it must me me. Ive also just tried and mp4 instead of an image seq. The node wrangler settings do not look odd. Oh well, live with moving the play head by hand at least I can continue. Thank you again also thanks to your videos, Im now creating some interesting compositor things which a month or 2 ago, there is no way I could have done that and also played with rigging and creating scenes again a big thank you. J
Hi. Very very useful & great tutorial and very very understandable statements like a Goat & kindful Teacher as always!🌹 Thank you so much for creating helpful & great tutorials.🎋
Hi Ryan. Altough I always save my rendered image (alt S and giving it a name), I not able to get it back in compositing once I have closed and reopened a file. What am I doing wrong? It' so frustrating.
Yeah, unfortunately, Blender doesn't remember the rendered image data, so if you close and re-open Blender, you have to re-render the image before you can see and edit the compositing.
is there a way to show the color corretion in the layout while i animate? and to export the color correction with the animation from the layout instead of having to go to composetinf and renderig every frame? i also want the color correction to show while the animation plays
How can we make the clip we added affect the scene below? Let's say you have a light saber in your clip and as it moves I want it to shine its light into our rendered scene. Is there a node for it or we just manually track it and add nodes to fake it, which would be very tedious and labor-intense.
I have a string of images ready. I would like to make graphic corrections on them, add sound and save them as a video. So I run VideoSequencer, add ImageSequence, but there are no images in the Compositing tab. If I add an ImageSequence in the Compositing itself, I am unable to save it as a video - if I press F12, it will be saved what I have in VideoSequencer without correction from Compositing ...

Is this search and type-in way for teaching?.. or are you doing it all the time instead of quickly shift-A-ing the menu tree?.. and if yes, why?
I just prefer to search for the nodes that I want to use, so I always press Shift A, and then click on search.
thank alot.you give a clear explaination. could do the same this to tutoriat for geometry node or geo tracking?
I just posted a beginner tutorial series on Geometry Nodes. you might want to check that out.

to compare two variants of rendering (17:40) it is very useful add SplitViewer
thanks for the info!
If i'm save my composite and i closed the blender can i continue my work
Yes you can, but you will have to re-render the image.
Is compositing just for cycles?
Nope, it works in both Cycles and Eevee.
I have a string of images ready. I would like to make graphic corrections on them, add sound and save them as a video. So I run VideoSequencer, add ImageSequence, but there are no images in the Compositing tab. If I add an ImageSequence in the Compositing itself, I am unable to save it as a video - if I press F12, it will be saved what I have in VideoSequencer without correction from Compositing ...
Answer is - Go to OutputProperties->PostProcessing: check Compositing and unckeck Sequencer. It will render without sound so need to add it later.
Plz,make a 2nd part😍
Thanks! If I were to make a second part, what would it be about? Anything specific you'd like me to cover?
