Hi everyone,
I’m having a strange issue in the Compositor. When I create a new project, go to the Compositing tab, and click the “New” button (or “Use Nodes”), I get a “Group Output” node instead of the standard “Composite” node, as shown in the image below.
I am currently using Blender 5.0.
Does anyone know why this is happening? Is this a new behavior in version 5.0, or am I accidentally in the wrong mode? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
In 5.0 you can now have multiple CompositorNodetrees…
And upon that, you can use a CompositorNodetree inside another one, so having the output as a Group Output node gives you the hability to reuse composite schemes, in the same way it works for GN.
Thank you for the explanation! I was a bit confused because the images in the Blender 5.0 documentation still showed the “Composite” node.
One more question: while I’m working with nodes, a message saying “Ignored Outputs” sometimes appears above the Group Output node. How can I resolve this?
If you have more than 1 image output in the GroupOutput, and the nodetree is not nested, the other inputs will be ignored. (the message will only show in the main nodetree)
The main compositor nodetree will only perform on the first image output, and all other outputs will be ignored. But if the nodetree is nested in another nodetree (aka, is not the main), those inputs will still work.
Note that in most cases, to reuse a compositor nodetree you might also need to add the GroupInput node. 
I understand it clearly now. I appreciate your help!
