Hasta La Motion!

I’m new in nuke and I want to disable a set of nodes given by name into the nuke scene (i.e. disable VectorBlur nodes to accelerate calculations)
Is there any way of selecting nodes with a given name using python scripting (like when pressing "/" button) ?
Another question: how can I set in Python the disable property of a given node from its node name?

Thank you so much.

I’m making a script to take position data from a tracker, and copy it to the clipboard as After Effects 6.5 data so I can use it conveniently with another program. (Specifically, particle illusion.) I have the basic functionality of the script working as far as having it just print the data to teh console, and I manually select and copy it myself. But, as I understand it, to stick it directly onto the Windows clipboard, I’ll need to use the win32 module. I tried just downloading the pywin32 installer exe and running it while hoping for the best. But, it seems to have only installed for my stand-alone python, but python in Nuke doesn’t see it. I tried manually sticking stuff into the "site packages" folder, but that didn’t do the trick.

So, do you know how to get text onto the clipboard, or how to install a python module properly so nuke will see it? And, if anybody wants the script, I’ll post it as soon as I can make it work properly.

is it possible to set the alignment of nuke 5.1 stickynotes to left (like in version 4.8) per default and not centered? ok, i could format my text via html but left alignment is the one i need at most.

thanks

Proxies in an editor make sense, you take a downrez’d version of your source file to edit with, and then re-link to your original files upon picturelock. But with nukes proxy system, it doesnt downrez it, it reformats it, so after you’ve created your masks for your half-sized proxy images (if half size is what you chose to be your proxy size), when you disable your proxy in project settings, the image now becomes twice the proxy size, yet your masks stay the same. Come again? After effects treats proxies just like an editor does, but creating a lower quality version, so all you have to do is disable it and everything is 100% as it should be.

Whats even more confusing is the use of reformat nodes. So forsay ive set my project’s proxy at half size, when i read in an image sequence i still must reformat it. I set what its original size and its proxy size is, and then in my reformat node i set what i want it to be. Great, but how is nuke supposed to know what the new proxy size is if there is no proxy size option in the reformat node? Does it guess based of the proxy ratio of the read node?

Yeah, im pretty lost here.

1) what is gizmo in nuke?

2) before that i used work with only layer based sw like after effetcs and combustion. what are the difficulty to change layer platform to NUKE?
