It is just a concept, that should help the user understand that he could connect a node from a clip-graph to a node in the final graph. Since those two graphs will live in different Windows, you cannot connect them directly with an arrow in the GUI.
I though "Scratch Bus" could be a nice Term, because it will not be like a track that can contain Clips, so it is actually empty, like a "Scratch Area", Like a Bus several nodes could write into the same scratch Area, but there could also be more than one of them. And similar to the Tracks, the Scratch-Bus provides an Input to the Final Node-Graph. I drawed it in parallel to the timeline, just for the sake of demonstration, it would actually be an invisible concept. If it proves to be useful, it could be done as a timeline element, to show users that this feature exists. Other than that, i am not entirely sure whether it is "really" necessary to have connections from clip-graphs to the final graph, it could be that this feature is redundant, or not useful for anything at all, because nobody would like to connect nodes in that way? 2008/2/6, Martin Ellison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Good start... presumably, to create the internal node graph, an editor could > use either (a) something like the 'add effect to clip' paradigm in the > original Cin interface or (b) an explicit node graph. > > I'm not sure what the scratch bus is; could you explain it more?
