This week we had a crash course on Nuke going over its interface and how it works. As someone who is used to after effect’s layering system the node development that Nuke has is very new to me. That being said I can already see how it would solve some frustrations that I’ve had in after effects development as with layering if I wanted to have something effect the foreground and background but not the middle then I would have to do a series of pre-comps and layering and the project would turn into a mess to read. However with the node system its quite easy since I would only link the effect to the foreground and background and the arrows are a very useful visual tool for telling what effects what. Another thing is the fact that it uses image sequences as opposed to using video files.
