The autosave function in Nuke runs on the main application thread. I’m not sure exactly why but when the Nuke files get in the 20 meg range the Windows version has always had a considerable lag over the network doing autosaves then linux or osx.
A few ways to combat this: 1. set your autosave to not be as often(every 360+ sec instead of every 30). 2. Explicitly set the expression for your autosave to a folder on your local machine instead of the network. By default it always saves to the same location of the nuke file. The really annoying thing with this solution is when your Nuke crashes and you open a file it won’t say “you have a newer autosave, do you want to open it” because it is not being saved in the same location as the original file anymore. So you have to manually open the autosave. So not a great solution but it definately gets rid of that lag every 30 seconds with large scripts. 3. If you have a cameraTracker, pointCloudGenerator, PoissonMesh, or even large sets of roto or any other nodes which makes really big Nuke files. Take it and make those nodes into a nuke precomp (other > Precomp). Then the large part of your script will be a separate referenced nuke script and not making your file size blow up. The referenced precomp will not be constantly autosaving. If you have a heavy piece of geo from the PointCloudGenerator then write it out as an Alembic file and read it back in. ----- Deke Kincaid Creative Specialist The Foundry Mobile: (310) 883 4313 Tel: (310) 399 4555 - Fax: (310) 450 4516 The Foundry Visionmongers Ltd.
