We’ll begin this project by learning the basics of using trackers to speed up the rotoscoping process by removing camera jitter, translation, rotation and scaling. We’ll then dive into our main project where we will use a combination of trackers, roto nodes and animation to create a clean mask for our foreground actor's face and hand. We’ll learn many techniques to speed up our rotoscoping workflow and how we can use animation principles to create solid movement.

We will start off by covering what compositing is and what a node is. We will then take a look at reading images into NUKE so you learn how to begin work on your own projects. After that, you will learn to use the common nodes to build NUKE node graphs. And to wrap up the series of tutorials, we will go over how to write your projects out of NUKE to show the world what you have accomplished. This series of step-by-step videos were developed with artists new to NUKE in mind so we will be moving at a steady, easy-to-follow pace making sure you understand terms and basic techniques.

We'll begin the tutorials by learning what a chroma key is and what we need to look out for while we shoot the greenscreen footage. From there, we begin keying a sample shot using the Keylight keyer included in NUKE 6. We'll then learn how to refine our matte and edge using the various built-in modifiers. Then we'll combine multiple Keyers to get the best possible result. Finally, we will composite our keyed footage over a background and learn about spill suppression and some compositing tricks to integrate our pieces of footage. We'll end the tutorials by learning a method of treating compressed or chroma sub-sampled footage to pull better keys.

We'll begin this project by learning what issues are created by a rolling shutter and what they look like in real footage. We'll also learn which of these issues can be fixed by the RollingShutter plug-in and which cannot. We'll then learn how we can shoot some test footage and bring it into NUKE to find the right correction value for our specific camera. We'll then solve a basic shot by looking at some of the quality and estimation controls. Once we have a basic shot working, we'll take a look at some footage that breaks and how we can modify RollingShutter's basic and advanced properties to solve these problems. We'll see a simple animation fix and a more complex way to solve the problem.

We'll begin this project by learning the basics of reading-in external images and learning the various parts of the NUKE user interface. Then we'll do some basic compositing, masking, transforming and color correction. We'll finish with a project to composite a 3D render and write it out of NUKE into an image sequence. This series of lessons will cover the basic, everyday tools and techniques we use in NUKE to composite. With this basic overview of NUKE's workflows and tools, you will be able to begin using this powerful compositing software in your own production pipeline.

We'll begin this project by going through a simple camera track and learn the proper workflow to get a usable 3d scene and camera. We'll then learn how to add NUKE 3D geometry into our scene as well ass geometry we import from another application. We'll then learn about the various properties and pipes in the camera tracker that let us control our tracks better. After getting a track, we'll learn how to use the DepthGenerator node to take our 3D camera and generate a rough Depth map for our footage. We'll then learn how to convert a 3d point back into 2d space so we can drive 2d transforms in our nodes.

We'll begin this project by learning about the new User Interface of the RotoPaint node and learn where everything lives. We'll then learn about the new stroke/shape list and all of the options we can quickly modify through the list shortcuts. We'll then learn about the new features of the RotoPaint node, such as copying animation on a per-shape-point basis, using layers to transform multiple shapes/strokes and using Ripple Edit to change a shape across multiple keyframes. We'll then learn how to use each of the basic tools such as Bezier and the new Bspline shapes and the selection and editing tools for shapes. Then we'll learn how to use the brush, clone, reveal, blur, sharpen, smear, dodge and burn tools to create strokes on our footage.

We'll begin this project by dropping in some basic geometry and learning how to move around the 3D interface. We'll then learn the basic components of a 3D system which is comprised of your geometry, a scene, a camera, and a scanline render to convert all of that back into 2d image data. We'll then learn how to bring in external geometry and how to use shaders, materials and lights to gain more control over our 3d geometry. We'll also learn some various tips on using 2D nodes with 3D nodes.

We'll begin this project by learning about the Bezier node. We'll then learn how to easily and quickly control our bezier shape and edge per-point blurring. We'll then jump into the basic workflows of animating masks and how we can keep a consistent shape for a more appealing matte. We'll end by outputting our mask into an image sequence that can be used in other nuke scripts or applications.

We'll begin this project by learning the basics of the tracker node and create a one point track using some simple footage. We'll then learn how to apply the tracker data to other nodes using expressions. We'll then learn how to do a two point track on real footage and create a black-bar effect over someone's eyes. We'll track the four corners of a TV to replace the image on the screen. Lastly, we'll then learn some tips for getting a track from difficult footage using color correct techniques.

We'll begin this course by taking an overview of the Red, Green, Blue and alpha channels inside of NUKE. We'll then learn how we can copy, add and view new custom channels. Using these new channels, we can control nodes such as a color corrector. We'll end by using the copy and shuffle copy to bring together multiple 3D render passes into channels in a single Node tree and then output a multi-channel EXR file for easier use later down the line. This series of lessons will illustrate the basics of the channel workflow inside of NUKE. By bringing together all of our image information into channels, we can then access that information at any point in the node tree.

We'll begin this project by learning the basics of reading-in external images and learning the various parts of the NUKE user interface. Then we'll do some basic compositing, masking, transforming and color correction. We'll finish with a project to composite a 3D render and create an animated transition and finally render it into an image sequence. This series of lessons will cover the basic, everyday tools and techniques we use in NUKE to composite. With this basic overview of NUKE's workflows and tools, you will be able to begin using this powerful compositing software in your own production pipeline
