Post-Processing Scene?

[Robbedit]

Hi to Everyone,
I've started some days ago to study User's Guide and I didn't got what's that "Post-processing scene". I've tried to apply some effects to scene and i receive grey background and I stopped to see my other scene...

Can Someone tell me what it does concretly?

Sorry for my English

I'm not sure I can tell you any more than the manual tells you but the post-processing is scene that can be added and automatically updated to all other scenes at the end of the processing chain. You can use it for anything you want but it is intended to allow overall colour correction/contrast/brightness/whatever to be applied across all scenes before going to the output. I use it, for example, to fade all visuals when there's no or low audio.

I would suggest you try something like this:

1) Select the menu option Help > Open Sample Project, and choose ManyScenes.magic

2) Now select the menu option Scene > Add/Update Post-Processing Scene

3) Now look at the Post-Processing scene. It should look like this:

twoSceneInputs.PNG (11.17 KiB) Viewed 6671 times

4) Now, just as an example, insert another module between the SceneInputs and the Magic module:

Pixelate.PNG (20.6 KiB) Viewed 6671 times

5) Now go look at all the other scenes. You will see that they all show the Pixelate effect. This is because the last module in every other scene is the Post-Processing module:

6) The Post-Processing module represents the Post-Processing scene. So, any effects you put in the scene (as in step 4) will affect how the module behaves in all the other scenes.


As Sadler said, the Post-Processing scene is useful for overall color adjustments, but can also be handy for things like overlaying logos/text, antialiasing, and even basic projection mapping.
