Tutorial: Understanding Nuke’s Layer and Channel System.

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that I have finished a new tutorial on Nuke’s Layer and Channel system. This seems to be a confusing area for new Nuke users and so I have written a free tutorial which covers most of the areas including the Viewer, Shuffle, ShuffleCopy and openEXR.

I hope it’s a useful resource to the community.

You will find the tutorials on our website (www.spherevfx.com) under ‘Training Articles’.

Best regards,

Matt

Tracker..STOP!!!!

Hi,
Does anyone know how to stop the tracker while it’s running?
For example, I started the tracker and half way thru, the tracker started to slip, so I tried to stop it via timeline STOP or any of the buttons on the tracker. BTW, there is no STOP button on the tracker controls. Is there a hot key to stop the tracker?
Thanks,
Lou
