Trouble installing Nuke gizmos

Hi,
I just can’t seem to figure out how to successfully install any custom Nuke gizmos that I’ve downloaded.

So far, I’ve created a ‘menu’py’ file in my ‘.nuke’ folder, and entered this line of script:
toolbar = nuke.menu(‘Nodes’)
toolbar.addCommand(‘Keyer/KillSpillPlus’, ‘nuke.createNode("KillSpillPlus")’,’ctrl+k’)

The gizmo appears under the ‘keyer’ menu, but when I click it, I’m greeted with the following error message:

KillSpillPlus: unknown command
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
RuntimeError: KillSpillPlus: Unknown command

Any ideas? I must doing something really basic wrong I’m guessing, I just can’t for the life of me figure out what that is!

Thanks in advance.

Help with DCFFV book exercises

I am working through the exercises in the "Digital Compositing for Film and Video" book at the moment. Please could someone help me with exercise 2-2, which is about Chroma Keying. I have attached my script and the image. I get a really bad key on the jersey and blouse when I try it lol. I read that chroma keys mattes are usually not that high quality, but in this case, if you look at Steve Wright’s mattes, they are very different to what I am getting, so I must be doing something wrong. Thanks 🙂

Bilateral Filter

Hi Folk,

Does anybody as found a Gizmo or plugin of Bilateral filter that’ s work very well or better than the one come with Nuke. I found couple of stuffs running on GPU and seem very interresting and other little software could run in realtime. I would like something similar like Surface Blur in Photoshop or better. I had the code source… Maybe we can retranscript the code for something usefull for Nuke! Thank you!

Rotopaint mask and Keylight

I tried to create a garbage mask to my green screen using rotopaint node, and for the key I used keylight.

The problem is, my garbage mask cut everything my composite including my background.
