probe luminance in nuke?

Hi there,
I am sure this has been asked before, but I just don’t know what to look for – just don’t know the right terms for the search function I guess.

I am am looking for something like the probe modifyer in fusion. A method to sample a region of an image to, for example, see the change of the luminance values in a sequence. I could then take these values to drive an expression or animation.

How do I go about in nuke? Or if you could point me to the correct term, I could just try the search function again 😉

Cheers
werki

Simple question re. averaging RGB values

Hello,

Say I had n frames and I wanted to make 1 frame out of these frames with each frame contributing 1/n % RGB values … so the output frames pixels would be a average of all the corresponding pixels in the same position in the original lot.

What are the standard layer comp functions and values I need to achieve this in your average program (access to: Photoshop, Nuke, AE …)

It isn’t as easy as dividing 100 by n then giving each layer (say in photoshop) this % value … as they layer on top of each other the numbers regress – so you’d end up with /2 /4 /8 /16 etc… – gotta be an easier way to do this ? I thought maybe ‘screen’ would work, but what % values ?

It’s basically how a quick and dirty frame blending footage speed up algorithm might work – but I’d like to be able to do it manually at the moment…
