Excited to release Precomp Switcher v1.0, a Nuke plugin that speeds up your precomp workflow.

Features:

  • A quick panel to create your precomp setup
  • A color-coded Backdrop shows the precomp state at a glance:

White - Bypass
Blue - Rendering
Red - Precomped

  • Toggle between Precomped and Bypass simply by disabling the Switch node.
  • User Guide for everyday Artists & Developer Guide for how to hook it up with pipeline.
  • Optional Feature for Localizing your precomps, for folks working with large files over a network.

Why use it?

  • Consistency. Every precomp in every script looks and behaves the same.
  • Readability. Tile color and label tell you at a glance whether a precomp is live, mid-render, or rendered.
  • Speed. One hotkey to build, one to render, one to read back and flip/toggle.
  • Pipeline-friendly. If your pipeline has its own render command, custom Write Node, custom Read Node or read-from-write tool, you can configure this tool to use those hooks for your own pipeline commands instead.
