tcl for grabbing the second input

Here’s the case , i got a gizmo with multiple inputs, i want to feed a tracker node into the second input of my gizmo. I want to read automatically the track1 data from the tracker node and applied to my gizmo using expression.

Ok, well I can use python single line expr , something like :

Code:

nuke.thisNode().input(1).knob('track1').value(0)


input(1) -> to get data from second input. But …. there’s something wrong with when using this python single expression. That python expression above is working perfectly. But as soon as i use that code , my whole script suddenly become very very slow. It took one second just to click any nodes and another one second to drag the node. When i delete that code, my nuke script is back to normal. Must be a bug … so i want tcl version.

I can use tcl : input.[parameter] , but this ‘input’ keyword only work for the first input not the other input (second input , third input etc). I tried using array index something like input(1) or input[1] but they’re not working.
Can anyone help me with the TCL pls . Or any other option?

Thanx

Rotoscope, Paint Masking?

Hey guys,

Last question of the day, promise.

So I have 2 videos that I filmed separately for my project. One is of just the background video with no movement, and one is of my hand holding an object and moving it around slowly. What I need to accomplish, is to mask the movement video with my hand over the background video, so that effects on the background can still be seen where my hand and the object are not.

My natural train of thought is to rotoscope / mask the movement video and just outline the object / my hand in every frame.

Is there a way to do this easily without having to use the pen tool and do it frame by frame, thus causing jitters? The object is not moving very quickly, so I am considering masking with Paint inside AE.

Is that the easiest route? (I don’t have combustion, only AE and Nuke PLE)

Thanks!
(Sorry if this is a newbie rotoscoping question…)
