6.2 Flipbook behaviour

Hi,

is it possible in 6.2 to flipbook a write-node (with already rendered frames) without Nuke to render it again?? Or flipbook a read-node so that Framecycler reads the image-sequence and Nuke doesn’t prerender it?
I just installed 6.2 yesterday, but didn’t see any flipbook-advantages by now… but maybe i just don’t get it.

cheers

Nuke roto trackin question

Posted in: Nuke Tutorials

Nuke noob question
Ive been trying to follow along with a tut from this site, and I keep runnin into an issue. The tut says to create a track, and then attach it to a garbage mask, but every time I do this, it moves the garbage mask off.

See attached. The tut doesn’t really explain this well, or at least it didn’t happen for him. Im using 6.1…with the root tool. Hes using 5.2, with the bezier tool. Is that my problem?
