the overwriting blues

Hi I was wondering if anyone has come up with a simple way to get Nuke to warn you if a sequence already exists when you render a write node. I do command line renders and sometimes forget to increment up the write node so I end up overwriting the last version.

[folders]: comps in footage, footage in comps, or separate?

Somehow for every project I seem to do it another way, and working between projects makes it very confusing to find stuff. So, I was wondering how you keep the composition part and the footage part on your filesystem?

Here’s the case: you’ve got different comps for different shots, some comps have intermediate output which can be considered footage again and some footage is for certain comps only while other footage is used in everything.

Where do you put your files?

Random example:

–Project
—-Footage
——Comp01…99 (intermediate output or 3d models)
—-Comps
——Comp01…99 (final shots)
——Output (final output)

THE HOLY GODFATHER OF ERGONOMICS.

80 year old Luigi Colani understands movement. His quest to create products that fit their function so perfectly to the human body has inspired the likes of Zaha Hadid, Marcel Wanders, and Karim Rashid without question; and as our sustainable future fantasy emerges into reality we are sure to see a new flood of design influenced by the holy godfather of ergonomics. Hopefully that means we can finally get shot from front door to coffee shop via mini pneumatic super train but for now we’d still be happy to settle for a working Canon T90 prototype.
