Grading before keying

Just a quick question:
I saw some people grading footage before keying it. Is this really usefull? And if it is, why? since all the color is in the footage I don’t see why you need to grade it.
Thanks!!

motionblur from 3d card animation

If you animate the 3d cards in nuke. How can you add motionblur to just the card? I mean you cant connect motionblur 2d and motionblur 3d reads the camera movements..?

emit light from layer – how?

I’ve built a tunnel with 5 cards, the 5th card being a street view (video), the tunnel – an alleyway (Stills). How would I get the light of the street to illuminate the alleyway? …I’m thinking along the lines of environment light, but not sure how to implement it.

Thanks.

Read option from a Write node as fast as a normal Read node?

Hi, I’m doing lots of precomposing these days and I use Write nodes quite much to do it. The problem I’ve noticed is that checking the read option is quite slow compared to read directly from a Read node. I know that the write node is looking for changes in the chain but I just want to "read" as fast as possible from the frames I’ve rendered. It’s why we all precompose, isn’t it??

I would like to know if there’s any way to make a Write node with read checked, act like a normal read node, with the same speed. Hope it’s possible cause the only solution for me now is adding a read node beside…

Thanks.

Photoshops Linear Light mode in NUKE?

Hi everyone,

quick question.. I’m playing around with some beauty work in NUKE and I was wondering if NUKE has equivalent layer blending mode like Photoshop’s Linear Light?

change default write to include alpha?

Hey All,
quick question, can i change write node’s so they include an alpha channel by default? and if so how? I’ve walked away to let 6 greenscreen write nodes render for two hours to come back and realize i forgot to check the box to include the alpha channel. (done this three times in a row now, oops.) Figure I may as well ask while waiting for another rerender 🙂

thx,

beauty work

I have done a bunch of beauty work before on various commercial and music videos but I just wanted to get your guys take on any techniques that have worked out well for you.

I’m also trying to figure out the best way to smooth out someones skin on there face but somehow keep the details of their pores so it doesn’t look like a blur.
