[Nuke-users] Re: ZDefocus driven by Axis

2014-04-01 Thread Lewis Saunders
If your depth pass is reliably in the same units as your camera, you can directly calculate the distance from the camera to your axis with an expression on the focus plane knob, e.g.: 1/sqrt(pow(Axis1.translate.x-Camera1.translate.x, 2)+pow(Axis1.translate.y-Camera1.translate.y,

[Nuke-users] MochaImport+ for NUKE available now

2014-04-01 Thread Mathias Möhl
Hi everyone, I just wanted to share the news that we’ve published MochaImport+ for NUKE today. It simplifies the workflow to get tracking data from Imagineer Systems mocha to NUKE. You can, for example, directly import the tracking data into NUKE’s nodes Tracker, Roto, RotoPaint, GridWarp and

What’s your target app - PS or Bridge or non-adobe ? If it’s adobe then I would try finding some way to kluge it via automation / droplet. A quick bingle seemed to imply that IPTC support in the png spec’s was limited which might explain why PS use’s it’s own category header in an attempt to

I just came back from a shoot where I did just that - insist on 2k compression. We were meant to shoot 3k raw but since production failed to secure a T-Link, 2k prores was the next best thing I could ask for. I told them 422 would be unacceptable for vfx,

We had a problem on a shoot a few years ago. Was 4:4:4 afaik on an Arri but at the time they were recommending 800 ASA. As it was a night scene the DOP underlit. Now because of the gamma curve, especially as it was set to gain detail in blacks, the noise levels were awful. Worst keying I've

Andrew, Thanks for the help. After a lot of fruitless research trying to make PNG files display metadata in Photoshop (target app by client request), I have moved to TIFF. With some more work today, I now have a Python afterRender function in Nuke that adds the metadata fields to the

Yeah, we shot everything on 800 which seems to be every DOPs' standard flavor. I also had to fight with the gaffer to give me a little bit of light on his rather orange "green screen". He kept insisting that, because it was perfectly on exposure, "it will sing - trust

Re: [Nuke-users] Linux read DNxHD Quicktimes

2014-04-01 Thread Frank Rueter|OHUfx
Well, in Nuke chances are that you may need FrameHolds or other retime nodes that require multiples frames to be read from the input clip at the same time. That is usually when quicktime files fall apart and frame sequences can't be beaten for efficiency and stability.
