quicktime gamma problem

Sorry, i have a second important question.

I want to render out my current fusion project in quicktime Foto-JPG or h264. The problem, if i view the finished mov in quicktime, then it looks like a gamma problem, the video looks much brighter and flat. What can i do to get the same result how i can see it in fusion?
If i render it out with quicktime tif, then all looks ok…..

squeezed footage

working with anamorphic footage in nuke 6… is there any way of viewing the anamorphic footage and working with it so it doesn’t look squeezed?
for example in Shake you could change the proxy settings to view at .833 or .705 etc… I’ve tried a few things but nothing seems to ‘un-squeeze’ it, my footage is 1440:1080…

manage user knob- request

This my other request. I will be happy if the ‘manage user knob’ window has an ‘apply’ button rather than only ‘done’. Right now everytime finishing edit expression on my user knob, i have to press ‘done’ which will close the window, then test the expression, if something goes wrong i have to reopen the ‘manage user knob’ window again. I have to do this many times again and again as i evaluate the script in my knob. So i recommend ‘apply’ button so i can apply the new changes immadiately without closing the window, this way i can easily inspecting my expression/knob, test it and modify it really fast. Adding this button won’t hurt anyone 😀

Just my thought.
cheers

python – how trigger action using custom pulldown

Hi, i create gizmo and add custom pulldown menu (using ‘add’ not ‘pick’), so i want to use this pulldown to trigger some action everytime i select/modify it. The problem i can’t use the addKnobChanged() function to track the changes , since this function won’t read action from custom button/slider of a gizmo. Can anyone help?

thanx

Nuke root vs Root ?

1. Can anyone explain to me the different of root vs Root in python?
example : to give default format to Nuke, in menu.py i have to type: nuke.knobDefault(‘Root.format’,’HD’), this Root with uppercase ‘R’ , this won’t work with lowercase ‘root’. So the ‘Root’ act like a Node name and ‘format’ is the knob.

Now if i go inside the Nuke, in script editor , if i want to change the format i have to type : nuke.toNode(‘root’)[‘format’].setValue(‘HD’). As i know the Node name should be ‘Root’ not ‘root’ but this time, ‘root’ is the one which is working , and ‘Root’ is not acceptable.

2. Also how can i get the global format setting by using python. I try these syntax with no luck :
nuke.Root()[‘format’].value()
nuke.toNode(‘root’)[‘format’].value()

the only way i ussually use is using nuke.tcl(‘value root.format.width’). But i’m just curious why that scripts is not working? in fact i can get value from other node using that syntax, for example : nuke.toNode(‘Text1’)[‘opacity’].value(.5) …..Can anyone help me?

3. How to lock the knob/parameter by using python script?

4. I found the nuke-python documentation is not friendly enough 🙁

thanx

[VFX ] How make this effect and what is it named ?

:confused:

Hello to Everybody,
I’d like to know if is there a specific name for VFX technic for which there are thing in normal motion but at the same time other things, like cars, people, etc…, moving in fast motion or in slow motion. All, naturally, in the same shoot.

See, for ex. "Requem for a dream", in scene where the main character Mama’s, totally crazed, is going down the street to TV Studio…

How make this effect and what is it named ?
