Render Layers Node¶

Render Layers Node.¶

This node is the starting place for getting a picture of your scene into the compositing node tree.

Inputs¶

This node has no input sockets.

Scene: Select the scene within your blend-file. The scene information taken is the raw footage (pre-compositing and pre-sequencing).

Hint

To use composited footage from another scene, it has to be rendered into a multi-layer frameset (e.g. OpenEXR) as an intermediate file store and then imported with Image input node again.
Render layer: A list of available Render Layers. The render button is a short hand to re-render the active scene.

Render passes sockets

Depending on the Render passes that are enabled, other sockets are available. See render passes.
