Nuke to Final Cut and backwards !

XML 2 Nuke script release V01.beta

First release of the Hiero killer ;) script
V01.beta

If you are using the script and it saves you a lot of time and therefore money, think about a donation to help us continue developing the script.

Download: 

compflows_V01_beta_source

how to install:

-copy the script files into your .nuke folder
-copy the content of the included menu.py to an existing menu.py, or just use ours.

_________________________________________________________________________________
XML to Nuke general workflow:

-Clean up your edit in Final Cut. No effects and transitions and merge everything to one video layer. Audio that is not embedded in your source footage will be kept.
-Export your sequnce as xml file
-start up nuke and run through the xml import dialog
-dont use handleLength if you got none

-things to keep in mind:
    -it's beta
    -before you start working with the generated scripts change the root format
    -comp after the framerange node
    -set the viewer to input
    -use the renderfolders for your final renders
    -name the different render versions for one take like: 01_xxx.mov,02_xxx.mov, and so on
    -the file with the highest version will be exported back to final cut

-for export choose the updated xml and use the xml_export dialog

Use at your own risk!

  2. Hi! When I export from Nuke and then go back to final cut the sequence does not have any change from the original one. The effects I applied on Nuke doesn't appear. Do you know what could it be? Thanks :)
