[Nuke-users] decent mov format on linux

2014-04-03 Thread Howard Jones
What's a decent all round format on Nuke Linux for creating movs. On mac I use photo-jpeg, but without testing each format on Linx I don't know which one would be similar. Thanks in advance of not having to run that test :) Howard___ Nuke-users

[Nuke-users] filtering options on rotopaint

2014-04-03 Thread Howard Jones
I'd like to see filtering options on rotopaint and other similar interfaces. Namely the ability to filter all strokes related to a frame or frame range. so you can do corrections/find bad strokes easier. This should include the option of any stroke that covers that frame range exactly or is a

In case it helps, QuickTime (mov) support has had a major overhaul using the Apple QuickTime libraries on Mac and Windows in Nuke 8.0. Unfortunately this doesn't affect Linux as support for ffmpeg is limited. Feel free to send any stability or colour fidelity issues that you find with movs to

The main issue that I'm having is that Nuke/Hiero doesn't play DNxHD at all on linux. That's no problem when using Nuke, because as mentioned before you wouldn't want to work with that. But not being able to use HieroPlayer right now is a real bummer!! Especially since these Quicktimes play just

I never use MOV on linux so this is a guess but there must be a jpeg2000 which is very good but I don't know about playback. jpeg2000 was what the Media 100 usedThe other that gets asked for by edit dept. all the time still. mjpeg. both of those I think are in ffmpeg but I can't remember for

Are you looking for a lossy format to delivering to the customer or an intermediate/mastering format before going to another application? For lossy, recently I used mpeg 4 and it seemed to work well. You just need to up the bitrate as the default is currently set too low. -- Deke Kincaid

Using the default in nuke does usually not cause a problem with playback. Otherwise I usually go for h264 as a codec for mov containers. Cheers, Elias 3 apr 2014 kl. 09:03 skrev Howard Jones mrhowardjo...@yahoo.com: What's a decent all round format on Nuke Linux for creating movs. On mac

I don't think our ffmpeg is compiled against x264 as it requires a licensing fee for commercial use so I don't think there are any h264 codecs in our ffmpeg writer. Unfortunately I'm on a mac right this sec so I can't check as there are lots of codecs in there. -- Deke Kincaid Creative

Thanks - lossy format that's good enough. It's just something so that when a shot is published a reasonable quality QT is created at the same time on their machine without going outside Nuke. Cheers On 3 Apr 2014, at 13:33, Deke Kincaid d...@thefoundry.co.uk wrote: Are you looking for a lossy

Hi Howard, Perhaps just by making the columns on the main panel able to sort things out by name, visibility, life, source, etc would solve at least a good portion of what you miss. Turning the paint selection on should take care of the rest I think. But I'm all for dedicating some extra love to

If I recall correctly h264 showed up in my lists of available codecs. I havn't compiled it myself, maybe ffmpeg included it because some other application installed that codec? Ubuntu 12.04 is what I'm using in this case. /Elias 3 apr 2014 kl. 14:53 skrev Deke Kincaid d...@thefoundry.co.uk:

[Nuke-users] Nuke QuicktimeHelper tasks on windows

2014-04-03 Thread Sam Marrocco
It's very annoying that Nuke's Quicktime helper task/process ties up QT files for some time after they're no longer in use in Nuke. After QT files have been deleted from a Nuke setup, the process sometimes hangs around for several minutes. This wouldn't be noticed, but it 'locks up' the QT

For some unknown reason, Nuke’s ffmpegWriter doesn’t support mjpeg, which would probably be your best bet (it’s identical to Photo JPEG for all intents and purposes, and is recognized as such on OSX). MotionJPEG (which I think Nuke does support) and mjpeg are *not* the same though... that’s an

A big reason for the continued stability problems on Linux is that the ffmpeg libraries Nuke is shipping with are over 2 years old. For some reason, they just weren’t updated in Nuke 8, even though the ffmpeg plugins were re-written (or at least cleaned up). OpenColorIO support in Nuke is in
