SilhouetteFX – Add points
Posted in: NUKE from The FoundryAlso, I know by holding alt when I click on my most recent Bezier node it gets rid of the natural curve and makes the next node linear, is this the proper way to do this? For instance, if I have a very extreme curve, that then goes into a flat part and I want to have a Bezier node not take into consideration the natural curve it wants to use to connect the next node?
If that makes sense…

Video – Image Sequences?
Posted in: NUKE from The FoundryFrom what I understand Nuke/Silh don’t read VIDEOS per say, they just read sequences of images? is that correct?
Is there any easy way, or a way using the Adobe Creative Suite to convert say, a wmv/avi/mpeg file into an importable file in Nuke/Silh?
Since there is no "File > Import" in Nuke, I’m assuming you would just create a Read node and load the media into that?
(Hard to find an answer to such a simple question online. Tried!)
