Introduction to Nuke for After Effects Artists | with

[@SimeonStephenson]

Thank you!!! This channel deserves an award

[@HugosDesk]

You're welcome!

[@logandrayson4175]

Love Love Love, thank you so much for putting this side by side with AE. I've been struggling with other tutorials on Nuke and end up being so confused, this was perfect. Don't apologize for the length, anyone who really appreciates the knowledge will watch no matter how long. Please keep this series coming, I feel that I am out growing AE because of the 32 float and having to use noise effect to remove banding etc. Project files to follow along would be cool! Thank you so much again.

[@allanaligula]

This is awesome, planning to incorporate Nuke in my pipeline. Thank you Hugos Desk for these tuts!!!🥳

[@TheWaitingRoomTWR]

Thank for tutorials man, I work professionally in post in LA but I found out all the big boys play with Nuke and not After effects so here I am ready to switch over just like I did in editing when i switched to Avid. And I thought learning another software was done with HA! So far you are the best I've found! Thanks! Subscribed!

[@twifeedo]

Extremely helpful! Can't wait for moaaare :) Would love to hear about deep compositing

[@ListerofSmeg2006]

Don't worry about these being too long. These are awesome! Can't wait for the next one

[@MichaelHurdleStudio]

The best Nuke tutorial ever bro. I'm struggling learning how to use Nuke. It's time to up my production skills. Got my sub.

[@HugosDesk]

Glad you like the video. More to come soon. Just been too busy in production. I need to make a episode 2 soon.

[@MichaelHurdleStudio]

Looking forward. Thank you.

[@timokrahl5620]

Fantastic way of comparing them. Big Kudos!

[@suraj5587]

I love both (Nuke and AE) of them and I am always struggling while starting new projects to choose one of them, that's why i am searching "adobe after effects and nuke linking" on youtube and found your video. Big Thanks to you(HUGO's DESK channel) for starting this initiative.

[@kostasfassoulas6915]

Besides the awesome tut in general, info, pace etc, what is hard to see these days is the way you speak, the mouse movement, the calm voice! Everything, Welldone! Keep it up!!!

[@NewDawnRedoubt]

This was absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for this intro tutorial!!!

[@teeambird2079]

Thank you so much! I'm hoping to do a Nuke course at escape studios and this side by side comparison gave me confidence

[@JanFeber]

Your videos and tutorials about nuke are the best on you tube so far! Thank very much for them. I really enjoy them. They are great for learning the nuke what I really need. Love that software! Need to know more!

[@HugosDesk]

Thanks so much for you kind words. I try my best to make as many tutorials as I can but I am a very buys artist so I can only do it in my spare time. Thanks again for watching. More to come every week.

[@laurenzhang2896]

This was great for understanding Nuke on a high level!

[@javisartdesign]

Awesome desktop setup Hugo! These series will be really interesting. really appreciated!

[@HugosDesk]

+Javier Santos Thanks so much mate. I hope the series helps people using both apps

[@ashishbenmoncy2147]

This was much needed. Thanks a lot Hugosdesk !

[@HugosDesk]

You are welcome

[@zooluwarrior]

You are extremely talented to transfer your knowledge. Clear and comprehensive.

[@user-kt8rh1ok9c]

Thank you so much Hugo. I'm new on Nuke and you made it too easy to understand the differences between both programs, I will continue watching your tutorials, thanks again!

[@TomSidProductions]

21:21 Probably the most important thing to have enabled in Ae. Gamma 1.0 checked as well as color bit depth 32bpc float. Thank you for this video, now I know why my Ae comps always looked weird.

[@eXzile81]

I’m at uni doing a vfx masters, I’ve been doing it since september and absolutely struggled with nuke, I just couldn’t get it, one watch of this and I finally understand, thank you

[@HugosDesk]

Thanks so much for saying that, means a lot to me. Glad the video helped you.

[@bvnaveen78]

Very useful information thanks a lot. I wish to see more amazing stuff like this in future Thanks

[@stevethurow1559]

Great video. More AE2Nuke please and thank you. Picked up The Art and Science of Digital Compositing because of your School of Motion interview.

[@HugosDesk]

+Steve Thurow Thanks so much. That is a great book. Thanks for listening to my interview btw. Cheers

[@miguelcredito2425]

Thank you so much for this, as I am planning to switch from AE to Nuke as my primary compositing software. Please keep the tutorials coming.

[@HugosDesk]

Thanks so much. Always keep in mind it is a great asset to know both softwares. Thanks so much.

[@saeedzare2410]

thanks Hugo ,its great tut to distinguish usage of them

[@franciscohernandez2335]

Great video, easy to understand, keep them coming. Thanks

[@HugosDesk]

+Francisco Hernandez Thanks so much

[@pat.9502]

Excellent Tuto, I hope to see the next one ! Your french shirt is very nice too !

[@plannedproduction1803]

Helped alot, to conclude: when you render in after effects you feel done and you don't get the feeling that you have total control over your vid. but for nuke, you feel like there is infinity options and that your ready to still make changes and that everything is now setup for you to do so. I am currently using after effects and have a few more things to learn in 3D compositing before I jump over to nuke as a main editing software, overall thnx for this vid, it was exactly the type of vid I was looking for. Have a great day

[@plannedproduction1803]

Prince Vasimalla I have checked it out, but since I use alot of plugins in ae I'll stay with ae for a little while

[@plannedproduction1803]

[@AeBlues]

[@MrBiswas123]

This is so helpful .You are so amazing ! Please make a full course(paid) on nuke for beginners.That will be great !

[@HugosDesk]

Thanks so much. Well, I could do a full course but I am too busy working full time. Maybe one day. Maybe if I can get enough money in Patreon or Kickstarter. Cheers

[@marcdenault407]

Super great video! really professional. Clear and precise. much appreciated! thanks

[@blaq1992]

as an after effects artist i really enjoyed this video tutorial, it had always been a mystery to me trying to know the core differences between AE and Nuke. I think you should me a lot of the differences, hope to see more of these tutorials in the future !

[@HugosDesk]

+youssef gamal Thanks so much mate. Yes I know the pain of moving from AE to nodes. More to come soon. Don't worry. Thanks

[@nilestanycosta863]

Really well explained and organized. Congratulations! I really enjoy it!

No private classes but I have a Nuke course if you are interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGLShaB_bKiiZrs

[@TycoonLeague]

I really enjoy watching your tutorials! Every tutorial I learn something new from you :) Are you going to be at the fmx this year ?

[@HugosDesk]

+Basti Tycoon Thanks so much mate. Yes I will be at FMX once again. My 5th year in a row and my second time presenting. I am making a Nuke Foundry Workshop. More info soon.

[@sirkarmart]

[@Kryptonian0024]

Thank you so much sir ❤️ it was fantastic tutorial

[@HugosDesk]

Thanks so much. I will be launching a full AE2NUKE course very soon. Please spread the word so I can continue making videos. Please support me for as low as $1 per month. www.patreon.com/hugosdesk

[@Kryptonian0024]

Sure sir

[@kamalstunning]

awesome great initiative

[@HugosDesk]

Thanks so much. More to come next week.

[@daniel33498]

We need longer videos!! :3

[@HugosDesk]

Well thanks for the feedback but it takes a long time to make high quality videos. Specially with my full time job as a Director and VFX supervisor. I wish I could do more but currently I simply do not have enough support in Patreon or KZbin to make longer or more videos. Currently making less then $30 per month in support so I am doing this pretty much for free at this stage. With time maybe I can get more support. Thanks mate

[@newsthread2242]

Amazing experience and you explained so well that we corelate vey well brother.... Much more depth we want to learn inn Nuke sir

[@astrounwrapped]

Parabéns pelo tutorial! Ajudaste-me muito! Abraço de Lisboa!

[@celiocamilomarcian]

Great presentation !!

[@HugosDesk]

Thanks so much for the kind words

[@adhishyajnik9771]

I normally watch vfx tutorials at 1.5 speed or 2x speed because the artist speaks way too slowly, repeats information too much, or generally just doesn't cut to the chase. None of these were the case with your video. Straight to the point, well-paced, and packed with a ton of useful information. Truly setting a new standard for tutorials on the internet. Happily subscribed.

[@EduardoFerreira-ze7xy]

Hi Hugo! First of all a big big thanks for your Videos, always very helpfull and inspirational. I'm also Portuguese and very very happy to see another Mate being sucessful. I'm a long time AE user and at about 6 months making the transition to Nuke. No doubt AT ALL about Nuke being much much better at compositing but still stuck with some projects with Element 3D Plugin for AE. Can you please advise if Nuke is also a good solution about importing Geometry, as well as with all the process of texturing, etc? Very sorry for the big text. Keep up the excelent work. Big Thanks in advance. bye

[@HugosDesk]

Thanks so much for your kind works. Obrigado. Nuke can import and run any geometry from OBJ to FBX to Alembic Caches so it is a great link with Maya or any 3D application. I would not advice rendering 3D in Nuke since there are much better 3D apps out there. But so you know you do have VRay and RenderMan for Nuke. Cheers and thanks for the support.

[@EduardoFerreira-ze7xy]

Thank you so much for taking your time for answer. It's very appreciated a clear answer from the Top. All the best for you. Obrigadão

[@perryyap6206]

Great video Hugo, funny thing, I am actually about to get a monitor and was looking at BenQ's monitors too. Which models are you recommending ?

[@HugosDesk]

+Perry Yap You making Film or Design work?

[@perryyap6206]

Film/photo work! But no printing involved

[@AronDurkin]

Hey Hugo, I see you've written here you're already working on episode 2! This was months ago now are there more of these? Cheers, keep up the good work!

[@HugosDesk]

+Aron Durkin I did started but I have been so busy with payed work that I had to put it on hold. You know, as much as I love to make videos for you guys the problem is that You Tube pays so so little that when I have Director or VFX work I have to prioritise. I usually get about 2 or 3 dollars per video and that is if the video gets 5K views. So very difficult to make time for free content when I have work. Sorry about that. But it will come, don't worry. Thanks for the support anyway.

[@AronDurkin]

No pressure man just checking I didn't miss it! You already do so much maybe have a holiday!

[@HugosDesk]

+Aron Durkin Holiday??? No... that is for pussies, lol

[@sanedealer]

Thankyou so much!

[@HugosDesk]

You are welcome

[@sajidulhasan2027]

This was great. Can you also tell me what to look for when buying a monitor for video comp? Can you use the same monitor for gaming?

[@radhanathdutta7312]

I dont know why I hate after effects but I love nuke btw awsome video like always

[@HugosDesk]

+Soham Dutta Well After Effects has a special place in my heart. It's my first app. Version 3.5 or 4. Can't remember, lol. It's pretty good for some tasks like Motion

[@naomiyuki6443]

Obligado

[@HugosDesk]

De nada!

[@leevfx]

Great vid Hugo. I am wondering if you have any good tips on handling footage in AE in the way Nuke does? I am still using both for different shots and finding AE is not great at colour management for Alexa footage, and I'm don't seem to have a bulletproof solution for adding elements (sRGB or otherwise) and outputting a LogC file for the grade. Nuke handles this well and had no complaints from those shots. Slightly off topic question I know...maybe I just have to be better!

[@mastaojo]

This may be a stupid question and i know the answer for movies and live action compositing, but why did you do the this project in Nuke or AE? Why not just render the final version with all the effects in 3D? And the longer your videos the better, i love to learn!

[@HugosDesk]

Well you should never render directly from 3D because it’s very un-flexible in Post. Having a compositing stage means you can do minor tweak, colour corrections and add live action plates to the CG. It is a very common practice to have a CG and A Comp stage.

[@nitromusik9275]

Thank you for this!

[@paulpierantozzi]

Hi Hugo, fantastic tutorial. I am a student who is interested in visual effects for both a career but also personal projects. Right now I am using After Effects but I want to switch to a node based system. Would you recommend learned nuke or fusion?

[@HugosDesk]

Thanks so much. Well I would recommend Nuke since it is Industry standard and use by the majority of the VFX studios. I am actually about the launch a AE2NUKE course. Would you be interested?

[@SteveErnst117]

Do you have any more in this series? I've been trying to get into Nuke from AE, but it's a lot to take in...stuff from the perspective of an AE user is really helpful.

[@mithunkrishna3567]

You are the best

[@HugosDesk]

Am not! but thanks for watching

[@guwview1]

Thank you very informative. do one task and in the after and nuke.

[@HugosDesk]

Thanks, Glad you liked it. I am trying to make it simple and 101.

[@cloudgold1]

a lot interesting! well done! thanks! =)

[@Advection357]

I have a BenQ AMVA panel Great monitors with amazing contrast & colors.. & the black levels beat most IPS screens

[@Sma-v4y]

Really nice tutorial. I would like to know more about 3d passes in Nuke, how you connect all the render passes - AO, reflection, SSS etc. Also, I am wondering, because I think in perspective, to learn a software that later I can afford... is it hard to buy Nuke, do the VFX work can get me all the licenses I need because for example Fusion 9 is much cheaper...

[@dylanchaix8638]

Thanks you

[@pushpakumaraaiyasinghe1063]

amazing tutorial. i know Ae. but i love nuke. how i can learn it

[@radhanathdutta7312]

I have a question. what is a stereo compositor? is that any difference between stereo and normal compositor?

[@kerryniekdam]

why are you always close after affect when you open nuke and let nuke display when you go to after effect

[@motionpointe27]

Why are these videos unlisted? How can we be notified when the new episodes are published?

[@HugosDesk]

This video is exclusive for BenQ at the moment. They will be online in the channel a bit later. Episode 2 will Not be Unlisted.

[@arenaudaipur775]

i want nuke non commercial student version please anybody can help i tried so many things...

[@thejoltjoker]

Good initiative!

[@HugosDesk]

Thanks mate. More to come soon.

[@OgatRamastef]

wich is your hardware specs? motherboard, cpu, gpu, ram, monitor, etc

[@MonsterZzzGamer]

,so, i have a problem, i started 2d animating and vfx fire and explosion simulation, i use 3ds max after effects, photoshop, and am planning to start learning nuke for 3d purposes but can i cotrol them all i mean can i learn all of this programs?

[@HugosDesk]

+WildChickenTV really depends of what you are after. VFx companies have artists specialised in specific softwares. So a FX artist does not do Comp. a modeller does not do rendering, a matte painter does not do animation etc etc. If you work in a smaller company and you want to be a generalist then you will probably know a bit of everything. You know what I mean? Either a master of 1 task or master of none.

[@MonsterZzzGamer]

i wanna be a generalist and make short stuff till i get a job in the vfx industry...

[@eally003]

How to match AE rgba output in the nuke with comping all layers used in AE

[@ady7d77]

are you using black magic pocket camera 4k for you?

[@HugosDesk]

I use a Blackmagic Ursa mini Pro

[@candyman3]

im afraid of switching.. takes some times getting used to nodes

[@HugosDesk]

+Lille P Once you use nodes you never go back man... lol

[@genericatotalicus3507]

Hugo give us an opinion on Natron

[@HugosDesk]

Sorry never used it. Should I?

[@genericatotalicus3507]

I don't know, you tell me

[@elevatordailies]

Nodes rule layers drool.

[@HugosDesk]

Haha, can I quote you on that? That is great.

[@elevatordailies]

You have my permission. Go for it! You may also quote me on, "I’m in the mode for a node. So long turnpike minus the off ramp."

[@ErickAlves7]

you use a mac pro 2013?

[@HugosDesk]

+Erick Alves Yes I do. I have a Mac Pro 2013 fully spec up. Also have a Mac Pro 2010 fully spec. 2x Mac mini servers and a MacBook Air

[@ErickAlves7]

thanks for reply, and man how you use all this machines on your workflow?

[@HugosDesk]

+Erick Alves I have a network connecting then all. Also using a RAID system for my media files shared across the network. It's a Caldigit dual T3 24tb RAID. Also using Synergy to control all machines with one mouse and keyboard.

[@angryozziebogan3046]

For me it's simple, I can't afford Nuke so I make After Effects work.

[@HugosDesk]

Well Nuke is very high-end so hopefully if you use Nuke that means you are getting payed enough to buy Nuke!

[@spoonssoup6739]

what is ur name
