Can you export compositor nodes?

Question

Not sure if this is a dumb question or not, but can you export compositor nodes to another project? I'd rather not recreate them on different projects for similar effects.

It's not a dumb question at all! :) – TheMinecraftMan757 May 26 '15 at 19:58 — TheMinecraftMan757, May 26 '15 at 19:58

Yes.

By creating a node group (⎈ CtrlG) you can append (⇧ ShiftF1) those node groups from other projects.

See my answer here for more detail.

I do not seem to have a NodeTree folder within my other project, even though I do have use nodes checked for the compositor. – Douglas Gaskell May 20 '15 at 21:17

@douglasg14b Did you create a node group? You can only append nodes which are in a node group.. – gandalf3 May 20 '15 at 21:49

Also beware that node group copies, between active scenes within a project, are not unique. If you edit a value inside the node group of one scene then it will be charged in the other scenes. To fix it break open the local node group first.
