Blender 2.9 for Production - 01 Introduction to the Compositor Workflow

In this tutorial, we will talk about the workflow connections of the Blender 2.9 Compositor with Rendering and external files. We also take a look into the node-based compositing workflow, add useful Keyboard shortcuts and Quick Favorites to make your comping work more effective and faster. This introduction is also meant for artists coming from other compositing solutions like Nuke and Fusion to get a fast understanding of the environment.
