I analyzed 87461 nodes from my old Nuke comps
87461 nodes...
So out of interest (and with the help of ChatGPT) I analysed the final versions of 234 shots/comps from 50 most recent project folders. There are plenty of WIP versions in there, but I only included one final-ish version per shot/comp.
My top 20 nodes:
- Grade: 7056
- Merge2: 6777
- Reformat: 4221
- Blur: 3165
- Transform: 2856
- Bezier: 2757 (I'm old!)
- Shuffle: 2392
- Keyer: 1743
- Crop: 1691
- ColorCorrect: 1563
- Multiply: 1497
- Copy: 1060
- Switch: 932
- Colorspace: 823
- FilterErode: 822
- TimeOffset: 718
- Retime: 712
- Noise: 674
- Clamp: 674
- Premult: 550
Other (mildly) interesting bits:
Roto or RotoPaint didn't fit into the top 100 :D Still happily riding the good old bezier and transform masked instead.
Merge operations were fun too. About 58% (3923) were over, followed by multiply 660, copy 635, max 370 and plus 268.
About avg comp sizes: Median: 176 nodes. Mean: 374 nodes. The largest had 2,952 nodes, and 10% had at least 913 nodes. So a handful of monster scripts heavily skewed the average.
One in every seven nodes was a Dot. (Skipped this in top node analysis). Sounds neat, but as mainly working solo, it's usually somewhat spiderwebby.
(Only) 2.85% of all nodes were disabled. I really dislike leaving disabled nodes in the graph.
There was 98621 connections in total.
