Hi, sorry for my English, I am Italian. Please where I can find video for creating special effects and compositing with after effects? I am starting to learn these programs, but I haven’t video and resources. Thank you very much.

Live Action/Camera Projection Question

Hi All-

I am currently comping in Nuke’s 3D space where I have a camera imported from Maya. I also have a live action plate.

How do I comp the live action plate with the camera move? I’ve done it several ways and can’t seem to just have the camera pan through the scene without the scene moving with the camera

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

“no Keyframes are selected”

Hi all,
is it me? No matter what I select in the curve editor, when I goto edit/move i get error " No keyframes selected"
For example, I created a roto shape, keyframed some movements, go into the curve editor , select every combo of curves possible, and get this error.

Here is the image..
thanks,
Lou

Cloning a Camera by scripting

Hello everybody,
I’m working with Nuke 6.0v1 64bit and I’m developing a python script to set a stereoscopic scene.

I having trouble in cloning a Camera node with Python, using the method nuke.clone().
Nuke makes the new node but all knobs are not connected, so even if graphically the two nodes are cloned (with an orange arrow), in facts they’re not.

When I use the Alt+K command for cloning, it works (but of course I need my script does the job!).

I’m attaching a screenshot, where you can see this strange thing.

My code is:

Code:

camera1 = nuke.createNode("Camera")
camera2 =  nuke.clone(camera1)


What I’m doing wrong?

Thank you very much for your help!!

expression in text node

Hello forum,

I have a text node which I want to print out the current seconds. My expression is very simple:
int[[frame]/[knob root.fps]] the problem is that I cant write it in the text message because it read the (/) as symbol and not as divider between the current frame and the fps. Then I created a user knob in the shame text node, a simple integer which was able to read the above expression and give me the result. But when I linked this knob with my message field, prints the expression and not the result.

Does anyone knows how to fix that, I will be interest to know
1. how can I use mathematical symbols as (+, -, / etc.) in the text node.
2. how can I link the result of an expression in the text node and not the expression itself.

thanks
