Hi,

I am doing compositing in Nuke for a film shot on the Canon 5D. The footage was ingested into the Avid at DNxHD 120. The editorial department states that the 5D footage has no timecode, so image sequences must be exported directly from that codec after cutting is completed.

The editor exported targa sequences in RGB color space. However, when I imported the sequences into Nuke, the colours were overly saturated and the blacks were very crushed. It didn’t look anything like the original footage. We also tried exporting targas with a different colour space setting ("605/709", I believe it was called). We got the same results.

The tech in editorial said that this was part of their normal workflow for 5D footage and that we should, quote: "lift the footage by 16" (not sure what he means – haven’t spoken to him directly about this yet).

A colleague brought in a quicktime of the 5D footage and matchgraded the the 5D targa files to it. The grade was a 1.2 gamma lift, I believe. I guess this is a workaround. However, it seems like the wrong way to go about working with files like this.

Can anyone shed some light on this issue, please? What’s the best 5D to Avid to Nuke workflow? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, i have a problem with exported point cloud & camera trough FBX
my nuke project is 25 FPS, and 239 frames sequence.
My MAX scene have 25 FPS framerate.

Where are they from? this additional 10 frames thats makes my sequences unsynchronized make me crazy.
Thanks.

Hi, i was trying to change the color parameter of a rotopaint node. The problem when i use knob(‘color’). It points to color of a selected spline/bezier. How if i want to change the color parameter regardless any selected bezier (i want to use this color for next painting not the existing one). the knob(‘color’) is modifying the color param on the parameter window, this is not i want. I want to change the color parameter which is on the top of the viewer (when the rotopaint is active).

thanx

I am trying to use my android tablet to take some quick shots to practice in Nuke with, and it seems that Nuke does not have a .3gp render plugin. I have some video conversion software (Any Video Converter), but I would really prefer to keep it in the native format if at all possible. My Xoom takes some actually clean video considering what it is, but it is useless to me if I can’t get it into Nuke.

I am trying to prepare for doing a series of effects to mimic those in the show Supernatural and I was planning on using my tablet to do the video shoots as I have 0 money for any other equipment. What is the best way to get all of this to work in concert?

Thanks.

Can anyone tell me why I get an xyz axis show up every time I connect a ‘Modeler’ node to my match moving scene?

I’ve attached a pic to illustrate the scenario.

I just can’t draw any vertices/faces on.

Thanks in advance.
