Thank you for such a clear and straightforward walk-through in what can be a potential game changer in my workflow. I greatly appreciate your tutorials and I look forward to the next one. Thank you again.
Loving your video Sebastian. Been back to compositing after many years as a lighter and have found your videos extremely helpful. This one especially is so useful. Makes it very easy to figure out what parts of your script should be precomped or optimised.
@@SplitTheDiff I’ve always had phases where I was doing comp and last year there wasn’t any work for lighters here in Adelaide and RSP was looking for compers so it was an easy decision to make. And I’m really enjoying being a comper again. It’s a good skill to have as a lighter. There’s lots of synergy between both departments.
Hallo :) Thanks for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoy the content :) I started working as an intern in a small German VFX company in 2008 (while studying) - mostly working with Fusion. I got my first real jobs in 2010 in Germany and Ireland (finally working with Nuke), before moving around (London, Vancouver, Stuttgart, Munich, Vienna) and trying out different studios (DNEG, ILM, MPC, Trixter, Rise, Mackevision, Scanline, Digital Domain, Image Engine, ...) to figure out what 1.) I would like my career path to look like and 2.) which studio (size, vibe, country, ...) fits me and vice versa. For the last 7 years I've lived in Vancouver and have worked at Image Engine for the past 2 years (great, great company!!!). What about you?
Flags are used to specify options when running command line programs. In this tutorial I'm using flags to start Nuke with some specific options enabled. You can also use it to open a specific file when opening nuke, start in safe mode or tons of other stuff. You can find a list of flags here. Have a quick look at it and it will hopefully give you a better idea of what flags can be used for. learn.foundry.com/nuke/content/comp_environment/configuring_nuke/command_line_operations.html
awesome, clear, relevant tutorials! thanks for making the effort.
You're very welcome! Thank you so much for your feedback!
Tons of knowledge!
I'm glad you enjoyed watching :)
Dropping by to comment for the algorithms. 😉 You're such a min/max compositor which is why you're awesome! Thanks for sharing the knowledge!
Hahaha, thank you very much :)

Thank you so much Johannes! I really appreciate the feedback.
May I ask what led to your decision of switching back to comp?

Nice tips! You can also use the 'profile' node now as you can isolate areas of the graph since it's a node.
Thank you very much! That's actually a good idea for episode 04 :)
Hallo Sebastian,
Thank you for this wonderful and friendly channel.
How and where did you start out in the movies, vfx and nuke?
Kind regards

What about you?
those "flags" you were talking about - what are they and can we learn more about them?

How can you know so many things about compositing? Thats frustating
Always stay hungry for knowledge, get out of your comfort zone but also, give yourself time!
