Using the Properties Bin
In order to properly use properties, I feel a quick explanation of the Properties Bin is in
order. The Properties Bin holds nodes' Properties panels ( FIGURE 2.26 ). The Properties
panels hold a node's properties, controls, sliders, or whatever it is you called them until
now. Nuke calls them properties , and the user interface elements used to change them are
called knobs .Soforexample,youuseasliderknobtochangeacolorproperty.Oryoucan
use a number-box knob to change a position property.

You should have Grade1's and Transform1's Properties panels loaded into the Properties
Bin. This happened when you first created the nodes. However, if you closed it by mis-
take, or want to learn how to close it, keep reading ( FIGURE 2.27 ).
