This is my shot ( can’t show whole scene) character holding phone , camera coming from up to down and phone is also rotating from horizontal to vertical and i have tried 3d camera tracking didn’t get points to track then i did manually tracking frame by frame tracking with transform and corner pin node with keyframes , it looks ok ok now but in between ,footage is jerking what i can do better tracking without staring from scratch !

This was my CG comp, the render was done in blender cycles by myself, the depth, normal, matte was created in comfyui, i used noise for the laser beam, did the comp in nuke

Things I Did Wrong:

- the camertracker error was 0.45, the cg slightly float if looked closely

- the render sample are too low and i had to use ODIN denoiser gizmo

- the plate was 2048 x 1080 and i rendered in 2040 x 1080 by accident, so cropped plate, depth, normal, matte

- since the matte, normal is not perfect, the relight in hair area is not good

- the blender cycles render the position pass in world axis but i needed local axis, how to get both of these?

- it is not aesthetically pleasing which i thought it would be!!

what feels off in this, need feedback guys!

Hey guys,

i am having this issue where my copycat wont start training when i am trying to use my GPU (RTX 5090), which is a real bummer. I am using NukeX (16.1). I just updated my NVIDIA-drivers. When i feed in the GroundTruth and the input in just says "calculating". I am using just 2000 Epochs for testing. When i uncheck "use gpu if available" everything works fine, just really slow....

Did anybody else experience similar issues and could maybe tell me how to solve it?

Thanks in advance!

I have been trying to recreate the eye glow effect from one of my favorite shows, Superman & Lois, using Foundry Nuke. I've experimented with stacks of glows, blurs, and grades, but I feel like I'm overcomplicating it, even though the effect doesn't seem that complex. I’ve also been watching similar tutorials to find a way to achieve the look without unnecessary nodes, but I'm still struggling. If anyone has any advice or tips, I would really appreciate it.

Hey everyone! I'd love to get some feedback on this green screen shot.

Until recently, I was working at a post-production company here in Brazil, handling all kinds of compositing tasks. Most of my work involved cleanups—things like removing reflections from glass, shadows, skin cleanup. I also did screen replacements for phones and other devices, 2D inserts, and similar work. The thing is, I was never really given any challenging keying shots, just the easier ones.

I recently left that job because I want to improve my skills and grow professionally, but I know I still need guidance and honest feedback, especially when it comes to keying. That's why I'm posting this shot here—I’d really appreciate it if you could take a look and let me know what you think.

I picked this shot because I know red fabric, motion blur, and shifting focus can make keying pretty tricky. I've been working as a junior compositor for about a year and a half, but I still don't feel very confident when it comes to green screen work. The artists at my previous job were really good at pulling clean keys, and that's an area I want to get better at.

I know Reddit's compression makes it difficult to properly judge a key, but I'd still love to hear your thoughts on the edges and the overall comp.

I just released my first production-style Nuke plugin: AutoRead v1.0.0

It’s a small tool with a simple goal — remove one of the most repetitive parts of compositing workflows.

Every time a Write node finishes rendering, AutoRead automatically:

✨ Creates a Read node from the rendered sequence
✨ Detects the correct frame range from disk (not assumptions)
✨ Prevents duplicate nodes using internal tracking
✨ Keeps the node graph clean and organised
✨ Optionally connects the Viewer instantly
✨ Updates existing Reads instead of cluttering the script

No more manually browsing folders.
No more re-importing sequences.
No more broken or mismatched frame ranges.

🧠 Under the hood (why it’s different)

AutoRead doesn’t rely on guesswork.

It scans the filesystem after render completion and builds the Read node only from verified existing frames — meaning cancelled or partial renders will never produce broken nodes.

It’s built with a modular architecture:
- filesystem logic isolated from Nuke API
- render callback-based execution
- hidden metadata tracking (not name-based)
- designed for future pipeline expansion

🟢 Built for real workflows

Each Write node gets its own AutoRead control panel:

- Enable / disable per node
- Auto frame range detection
- Auto positioning
- Duplicate handling mode
- Viewer linking toggle
- Clean green “auto-generated” node styling

⚠️ Current limitations

Version 1.0.0 supports image sequences (EXR, PNG, TIFF, JPEG).
MOV support is not yet included but is planned for a future update.

Built and tested in Nuke 17 (Windows).

🛠️ Built with scalability in mind

AutoRead is designed as the foundation for a larger pipeline toolset, with future features planned like:

- Auto Version Up
- Auto Publish
- Render History
- Notifications
- Compare versions

💬 Feedback welcome

This is the first public release and I’d genuinely love feedback from artists, TDs, and anyone using Nuke in production.

See below...I have this shot where this person is moving around...and at some point the cameraman shadow is on her for about 50 frames or so.

I tried some A.I. (local - LTX 2.3 with Remova Obscura LORA and online - Beeble) but nothing worked...and I really don't want to do it manually.

At least if not removed it totally maybe fade it somehow? Or the harsh edge faded?

Or maybe another A.I. solution which would work?

UPDATE

On 17 frames I used A.I. to clean them up about 90% (ComfyUI run locally with Flux 2 Klein image editing model). The rest of the clean up was finished in Photoshop and Nuke rotopaint. Only the back of the person was used.

i have this scene this sci-fi mewtwo lab type scene my issue is I have this type of shadownmatte how i add in scene and remove white highlight + what is operation of AO pass in merge + When i add dark patchs in glass do merge it didn't show the dark patch only it glow + when i add Dept using this method that tubelight is take too much focus and when lower the amount light didn't affect but fog is get less anyother method

It's a bit of a nuisance as I want to see how my rectangle moves with my applied noise but it's in the way 😭

Following tutorial, put in fog overlay. It shows up as pure white? I am new to Nuke and I am sure this is an easy fix, just don't know.
