Just starting to demo Nuke

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

I’m just starting to demo Nuke and wanted to say hello.

Can anyone advice how best to get going ?

I have the tutorials which came with our demo but none of the source footage for some reason.

I have decided to render out of Maya using the .rla format, we are only working broadcast 8bit format. Is this a good format ?

Also if a bring in a long sequence, say 1000 frame when I try and work with the footage in the viewer it’s hard to get fine control in going to specific frame, can I zoom in on just a small area of time, such as 250 – 500 frames ?

@mattdleonard:

hi there!

– for going to a specific frame, just press “g”. This pops up a window where you can type in the frame number. Simple yet effective.

– I never worked with .rla files before, but if you’re doing 8-bit broadcast stuff you might as well stick with standard TIFF or TARGA files, or anything that saves as a 32-bit image with alpha channel. You could go for SGI .rgb files as well. If you would want to include a depth z-channel I’m not sure what file format would be the best; maybe Maya’s native .iff files would do it but I’m not sure Nuke handles this, you have to try.

-well, not much, but I hope this helps! 😛
