Great video, Josh! This is a really comprehensive overview of compositing and how it works at studios. Also nice to see someone else talking about Nuke!
I'm technically a Vfx artist I know how to use Nuke, Silhouette, Mocha but I have been working professionally as a Video editor so I do know the Adobe creative suite as well. Definitely Nuke surpasses everything when it comes to compositing.
I went to the Art Institutes in Illinois. Nuke at that time, 2011, was expensive for the amount of "seats" needed for the VFX program. Their reasoning was production companies and ad agencies in the Chicagoland area were using Adobe products due to its affordability. Having worked in various production companies in Chicago post college, these companies weren't even running the lates versions of the Adobe software due to cost of computer hardware needed. So learning Nuke at the time was so from reach even though it was emphasized then if you wanted to work in "the industry". I feel out of touch as is, but excited to know that Nuke is free to use and learn on. Maybe, I have a chance to learn it this time around. If my wife and kid permit me, LOL!!
I been comping since the 90s. I used Nuke since D2 software days early 200s . Also Shake, Digital Fusion and After Effects. Node based definitely have an advantage with its procedural workflow but after effects got some great tools too. The important thing is the artist using the software to create good looking work. Don’t forget the team of artists making my the assets and animation. It’s a team of artist that makes a good looking shot . Unless you are a one person generalist.
Interesting how Andrew Kramer of Videocopilot used After Effects to do effects in Star Wars, Star Trek and other Hollywood movies? He even has examples on his channel. It's the end result that counts.
I and a couple other artists used After Effects on Top Gun Maverick for many things and I've spent the last 13 years working as a VFX artist using After Effects. That said, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find After Effects jobs because everyone is making the switch to Nuke. So yes, the truth of it is that it shouldn't matter what software you're using so long as you know how to use it and get the results the VFX Supervisor and director want, the reality of it is, for as much as people like to say they're software agnostic, they really do want you working on the same software as everyone else. Helps if you ahve to pass a shot off to another artist to complete.
You’re right. But from what I remember he made intro sequences and didn’t composite? Maybe the advantage Nuke has is the ability to integrate with unreal engine. Something after effects can’t do yet.
@@mattboardman8837 Im trying to learn how to do VFX since i want to do it for a career, i started to learn after effects, should i stop and switch to nuke or do u think i should carry on with after effects?
After 13 years of perfecting my craft with After Effects and an extensive range of 3rd party plugins, it’s more than an application it’s a lifelong passion for me And I firmly choose Unreal over Nuke for its unmatched adaptability and innovative edge.
Unreal is a game engine, Nuke is a compositing software. They are designed for different Job. Seen many Unreal users do comp in Nuke for cinematics. Didn't understood your choice ? ?
Nuke is very powerful when it comes to achieve great control over multiple VFX layers. And After Effects is layer based. Workflow is totally different. Nuke workflow is non destructive and easy for making changes. Profitable business depends on Good Output in Less Time. After effects do have it's place editing.
Let me explain why Nuke will be the industry standard, over After Effects. It's not just about the tools Nuke offers (which some will argue even AE offers). No doubt it's much more advanced than anything else. It's also about the PIPELINE. Nuke has been deeply integrated in the data flow of large studios functioning across continents. In feature films, we're dealing with hundreds of shots, each with their own metadata, multiple variations, shot context CG assets, uncompressed 8K raw footages. To manage all this, studios spend a lot of r&d on coding custom file import export tools, which needs a deep development environment to access large internal database. Tools like Nuke, Houdini, Maya offer this and are capable of handling such scale of files. After Effects is a user friendly tool for smaller studios, with quick turnaround times. That's why these softwares are and will be the standard.
@@genrerahulnowhere... not saying davinci isn't as good, but adobe has the industry in a chokehold, has for a long time, it's part of people's workflow and some/most studios have a thoroughly developed system, changing softwares would be a drastic change
I'm happy using Unreal Engine 5 with LED walls to learn VFX in real time rendering with camera trackers. A unique experience experimenting with sym trav, I got no reason to use After effects at this stage, other than title designs in 3D and speed ramps for socials.
NIce video! But gotta say that it realllly depends on what you wanna work in.. if you WANT to be a 3d compositing artist Nuke is for sure the best program. Still After Effects has its own place and is a great program. I pref to work with both depending on what you wanna achieve
After Effect is a software, Nuke is a software that builds 'softwares'(pipelines)... Same can be said about all complex & mature node-based VFX softwares (Fusion, Houdini, or even Blender)
best start is closing fusion, opening and learning nuke non commercial, coming back to fusion with the nuke2fusion script in reactor or letting ur company pay for ur nuke license (or continuing with nuke) depending on ur situation:)
@@yassinedjebbari4819 I never compared it. I just said it's another alternative. As the video made it look like AE and Nuke are the only options that are used.
Never said that again Ae cant be replaced its just the best when it comes to 3d camera and tracking and other stuff btw i switched from davinci to Ae for that reason
I mean ... everything you mentioned can be easily done with blackmagic design fusion studio (or davinci Resolve) as well. (I know nuke is better, but I like fusion😅)
you cant really compare "compositing" to "editing" its actually 2 different things. normally shots in Nuke are not longer than 5-10 seconds, especially for beginners. your in software render times get crazy. its more like he explained for all the puzzle pieces added together. and after you did this in Nuke for example you going to the acutal editing where you put all this comped shots together. :) so if your focus is on the pure editing and some colour grading maybe than you dont need Nuke
Fusion does not have all of the same functionality as nuke, it is missing some very important features like deep compositing. And other ways to easily process 3d data. Also great for building tools. So if you are hoping to get hired by a studio, learn nuke. If you are hoping to create short films//diy projects, fusion is great. It just does not fit in the standard hollywood pipeline as well as limited functionality
I think for most people, Fusion does the job, at least for me as well and most people don't even have the computer to work with deep renders to begin with.
Sorry, not correct. Fusion has been, and still is used to create top-level Hollywood effects. Yes, Deep is a thing that's missing, but you will only encounter it doing AAA movies, and not even in every one.
that's not the point of the video. After Effects is good at this too. The point is Hollywood's standard is NUKE, so if you want to be in Hollywood, learn NUKE.
I use Nuke and Fusion. I love Fusion but their interface is years behind. Even the shortcut keys are a mess and not consistent. Also the resolve integration is not great for VFX because of the UI. Use the stand alone
as far as I know Fusion is fine, and is pretty robust. But if you wish to work for any VFX studio then you have to learn Nuke. Gone are the days of studios (TV/Feature/VFX) taking the time to teach you the software. Best to learn Nuke with a commercial free license, and build your portfolio from there.
@@simbarashekunedzimwe1372 I don’t doubt the principles and rules of compositing are all the same, across software. All i’m saying is a company will pick a person who knows Nuke over Fusion, simply because that’s the primary tool at said studio is one that already fits in their pipeline.
I really want to get into VFX editing, I am pretty much a beginner, i wanted to learn after effects to maybe learn some basics on compositing. How do you suggest i start my VFX learning journey, to get me to a point where i can start learning nuke? Im not sure if i could ever learn nuke without having some basic premise of what goes into it. So any advice for where to start would be great! My current plan was actually learning how to use blender and integrating that into real life footage, or creating my own 3d environments and learning after effects to learn the basics of creating the effects he listed, such as smoke and fire, but also making sure something like that church looks like its realistically in the environment instead of it being a clear overlay. Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks for this video!
@@That__Brandon I am not saying that you shouldn't have a dream to chase What I am saying is unless you're willing to fully commit to VFX your going to end up doing for pleasure nonetheless . Because you really need to be different in this domain to really make it work which you guess it takes time . And the proof is fiverr rn all small vfx Artists go there and they have to compete with Indians that do the job for 10 bucks
Remove the bracket thing "(to work in Hollywood)" you posed the question and gave the answer in a split second, it just fulfilled the curiosity, without the video. Or you can just "How quitting after effects got me in Hollywood" (I haven't seen the video just like the people who will see your thumbnail and title) "Quit After effects to get in Hollywood"
nah you cant really do that. After effects also has great effects and even a 3D space, but nuke is really different from the ground. its specialty is to composit 3d data shots (renders) and AE is more build around 2D footage, motion graphics etc
Thanks so much, will try out nuke tonight. Quick question though. I have Davinci Studio which has fusion and the color page, while the tracking system seems more sophisticated in nuke, is it still reasonable to use Davinci for the bulk of the compositing? (I am a solo artist not part of a company)
You will be much better off using Davinci and Fusion Studio (standalone). One-time fee, free updates for life. Literally the same toolkit, except for a couple tools, and most importantly - Fusion crashes way less often.
@@The-Game-Master Standalone is mostly feature-matched with the one built into Resolve, but the upside is that standalone can use the memory more effectively (no overhead).
Is it free ??? All feature???, all this time I wanted to do this all but the Adobe payment stop me as I can't afford it , but nuke will start learning thanks
There are three versions of Nuke 1) Nuke 2) Nuke X 3) Nuke Studio... Nuke (1) is free but has tools and limitations where as Nuke X and Studio is the full version, ofcourse the paid ones
Don't learn software, learn fundamental vfx techniques...I move seamlessly between software, whether layer based or node based because I read this book "The Art and Science of Digital Compositing". As a result I watch Nuke tutorials and I am able to apply them in Fusion. You guys stopped reading, you should read more
He's not wrong a lot of films and advertising use Nuke or Flame. Ae is getting better with 3d assets but adobe just needs to make a new piece of software forth ground up to work with 3d and 2d compositing.
@ed61730 Ae is complete shit for serious composting firstly it is node based Plus doesn't have good multi-channel workflow fusion, flame and nuke are good though but fusion is best overall but nuke always gets best Marketing foundry sponsor almost all creator in niche thats way I was asking
I remember the day when Nuke came out. Back then it was the best for explosions or fire simulation. Then it became Greta for fake crowds. I wonder how it has evolved since then. I have been years away from special effects.
Nuke is just a tool, you don't have to use nuke,.It doesn't matter if yyou deliver what needed. Its might free to use but I never heard a good thing about their companies in the "industry". Don't get me wrong, node base compositing is the best whem get the hang of it, but I prefer fusion over nuke for compositing work, Also blackmagic, what a perfect company. Da vinci has no real alternatives in terms of performance and pricing.

As a result I watch Nuke tutorials and I am able to apply them in Fusion. You guys stopped reading, you should read more
Soooooooo why did you quit After Effects??????
Is your cam footage ai upscaled? Looks off in 4k.
explained well
if I work for small/non hollywoord projects then would blender and after effects work for me?
Hey, DId you supervised Star wars?
I hope kunwar is watching this video
Good nice words 👍👍👍
I've put way too much money into AE, mainly plugins lol D:
Nuke is free ?? What all features does it lack in free version??
You're capped at rendering in 1920x1080 - but this is absolutely enough to get started and build a demo reel and make films with!
@@JoshToonen and water marks as well right ? Cause I wanted to publish it (not for revenue but watermark is definitely a setback)
In the end people use the one they feel most comfortable working with...
We can do all the in Ae too
Sponsored by foundary?
He's not wrong a lot of films and advertising use Nuke or Flame. Ae is getting better with 3d assets but adobe just needs to make a new piece of software forth ground up to work with 3d and 2d compositing.
@ed61730 Ae is complete shit for serious composting firstly it is node based Plus doesn't have good multi-channel workflow fusion, flame and nuke are good though but fusion is best overall but nuke always gets best Marketing foundry sponsor almost all creator in niche thats way I was asking
Would you Suggest Pc or Mac for VFX??
PC, more power for less money
Why do I need to go to unreal from Nuke, why can’t I just composite everything in Nuke?
What is up with the weird artifacts on your camera footage?
the guy who made complete utter slop, nice
Are you working in "hollywood" now ?
Comp work is not done in 24fps tho, ...
🔥🔥🔥
@Josh Toonen amazing job !!!
Coool!!
I remember the day when Nuke came out. Back then it was the best for explosions or fire simulation. Then it became Greta for fake crowds. I wonder how it has evolved since then. I have been years away from special effects.
i also find it strange how not once did you mention CLARICE amongst a few other GIANTS in the compositing world.... just saying
Clarisse? It's discontinued lol. And it isn't a compositing software.. It was for 3D environments.
i dont know night about these sutff but i am high af on weed and it making me feel fun xd
me watching this "damn :| "
Why do you call anime "cartoons"?
Why shame on After Effects my guy? There is a 95% chance that you only made it so far because you have used After Effects. Better say thank you.
But Nuke is Expensive?
I’m curious if your industry is worried about ai taking jobs ?
yes bro but nuke is expensive 🤷♂
What about Fusion? Jesus bless you man.
Nuke is just a tool, you don't have to use nuke,.It doesn't matter if yyou deliver what needed. Its might free to use but I never heard a good thing about their companies in the "industry". Don't get me wrong, node base compositing is the best whem get the hang of it, but I prefer fusion over nuke for compositing work, Also blackmagic, what a perfect company. Da vinci has no real alternatives in terms of performance and pricing.
I WILL NOT PAY €2,839 FOR NUKE
Amazing, but i choose the easiest way
ALL the renderins and all the best comps in the world wont help a movie WITH A BAD OR PREDICTABLE SCRIPT
I feel special for only knowing how to use nuke and not after effects🤣
yeahhhhh 4k a year is a bit much tbh
Meanwhile A.I : 😂
