Hasta La Motion!

I am working with 6k panorama that is originally output from PTGui as EXR. Once I am done with cleaning up (simply exposure and WB adjustment) in Nuke and write it out as EXR, the file size jumps from about 55 mb to 200 mb. I tried all the compression types available in Nuke (PIZ, ZIP, RLE, even the B44), and the only way to get the output EXR close to 50 mb is to set the datatype to 16 half-float which is not what I want.

Interestingly, I bring both the original 6k EXR (50 mb) and the one output from Nuke (200 mb) into Photoshop and save as a different file name, both EXR files end up about 50 mb.

Am I forgetting something while writing out the EXR in Nuke?

Thanks,

I’m trying to colour remap a greyscale render and want to have a number of points along each r,g, and b curve in a ColorLookup node, their X position will match between each colour curve and will be controlled by a 0-1 ranger slider, while their Y position will be controlled by a user picked colour.

So if point1’s X slider is set to 0.25, and the colour picked is a pure red, and point2’s slider is 0.75 and is a pure green, the curve would be

red {curve x0.25 1.0 x0.75 0.0}
green {curve x0.25 0.0 x0.75 1.0}
blue {curve x0.25 0.0 x0.75 0.0}

Any ideas on the kind of expression I’d need for this? I can’t seem to control the placement of curve points at all, only define an overall curve with an expression like pow(x,2).

I’m VERY new to NUKE so any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m trying to replicated a node someone made in Fusion that did a gradient colour remap.

I know The Mill in New York has several Flame suites, and I’m sure they use Shake / Nuke etc … but I hear they use AE for some vfx as well.

I was curious do they use it a lot for comping!?

Thanks

Is this something do able? How hard do you figure the roto and motion tracking would be for a shot like this? Also how would I go about doing this. I have sort of limited experience with roto and motion tracking but I figured I could freeze on the last frame I want turn that into a matte painting then track the image backwards to the first part where you can see the skyline and roto around the actors. Would that work?
