Node Tooltips and the Status Bar

Even in simple node trees, it’s easy to forget some essential detail about the nodes in your comp. To help you figure out what everything’s for, you can hover the pointer over any node in the Node Editor to display information in the Status bar at the bottom of the Node Editor consisting of that node’s name, frame size, pixel aspect, resolution, and color depth.

If you wait a few moments later, a more elaborate presentation of the same information appears within a floating tooltip in the Inspector. This tooltip gives you additional information about the Domain (Image and DoD) and the data range used by that clip.
