rotopaint shape slider

Posted in: NUKE from The Foundry
I’ve just started using the new rotopaint node in nuke 6.1 and so far its pretty great. One thing that is bugging me though is the lack of the "shape" keyframe slider found in the previous bezier node. I can’t seem to find it anywhere in the rotopaint node, has it been moved somewhere or was it removed completely?
man, I miss that little slider guy.
:rip:

Cannot Render Project in Nuke 5.1

Posted in: Beginners Talk
I am extremely new to Nuke, (I’ve only been using it a few days), and I have followed instructions on how to render a project, however, everytime I click render I get this message: "Write1: /home/chri/Desktop/Video Project Files/Black Horizon Games/Video/hello001.(File extension type): Can’t load writer for file type "(File extension type)"
Error: no plugin named "(File extension type)Writer" found"
How can I fix this?
Also, if you can, please post a link to a video or a post with step by step instructions on how to render a project, thank you. 🙂
