all that was already said and two more things:
nukes approach is shot based, so you work on one shot only. not the
entire sequence or movie. and because you normally work on a shot for
several days, its not so important to have instant realtime playback
and because nuke is a vfx tool, the need for tweaking stuff to sound is
not so big. so, 6.3 is the first version which can deal with sound.

Good day all!
Before I start this topic (also my first), I wish to make it clear
that I am not ranting, or trolling, or moaning for the sake of it, I'm
a brand-new user to Nuke, and I just don't get it.
I'm looking to hopefully get into the FX industry one day, and have
noted that a lot of advertised jobs say "must have experience with
Nuke", so I downloaded the personal learning edition of Nuke
yesterday, and have spent a whole 30minutes on it so far (I do intend
to spend more), and it just seems long-winded and tedious so far.
I've been using After Effects for my digital work for about 5 years
now, and obviously I'm going to be biased towards that as it's what I
know and understand, so I will give you an example of what I found
rather frustrating about my first experience in Nuke.
Scenario 1: Take footage, desaturate it, and play it back.
After Effects: Import footage, drag and drop 'black and white' fx on
top, hit render button.
Nuke: Import footage (I couldnt figure out how to do this. I found
'import script', 'import image', 'Import project', but no 'import
video'. So I just ended up dragging and dropping a file in from
windows explorer). > Drag on saturation node > connect footage output
to node input, connect node output to viewer input > desaturate >
attempt to play back, but video is fuzzy and plays about 4fps with no
sound.
It's not the computer (before anybody suggest my machine isn't
powerful enuogh), it's a 4.3Ghz i7 with 2gb Nvidia quadro semi-pro
graphics card and 16bg of Ram.
So what am I missing here? If Nuke is an industry standard program,
why (in my opinion) is it so long winded?
Like I mentioned before, I'm very interested in developing my skills
in this, I just wanted to question it first.
Nice to meet everybody!
Kez
