I'm about a year out from getting my Bachelor's in Animation/VFX, and you by far, have explained Nuke, WAY better than any instructor I've had. THANK YOU!!!
I cannot say THAAAAAANNNNNNKKKKK YOUUUUU enough for this comprehensive long video, the software tools might lok different but one really needs how to make the transition to Nuke as you are showcasing here, thank you so much
I've watched many tutorials about AE to Nuke, including the Foundry one, but this one is really outstanding. Thank you very much Alex for this tutorial, truly you're a great teacher, you are the Nuke's Andrew Kramer. Now probably I'll do my next project in Nuke ;)
Want to continue learning Nuke? We have an entire training series that will save you hundreds of hours and pave a clear path forward. $50 OFF Nuke Beginner Mastery Series: www.compositingacademy.com/aedisc-nuke-compositing-career-starter-bundle
The free version is pretty good for learning, if you're doing direct freelancing Nuke Indie might be a good option for you as it doesn't have those resolution limitations
great... I should do some mogra client work in AE today, but now I want to download nuke and start playing around lol 😂🙈 anyway, that was a very well structured tutorial. kudos ❤
I wish there was an Andrew Kramer for Nuke. It is so easy to learn AE with him when the tutorials are project based and really filled with amazing content. He is the best compositing teacher around.
Will have more hands on projects in the coming months, I have some plans around how we can expand that aspect, but currently building out a few important things beforehand first
Same! It can be frustrating when you know a base knowledge of stuff and you just need to transfer that knowledge into another package, so hopefully this makes it easier for those people.
its really interesting i remember downloading this years ago and deleting it. now I downloaded it some days ago I actually used it without tutorial and didn't have too much difficulty. blender really helps.
Hi, this is absolutely the best video and exactly what I was looking for, thank you for making it! The project files don't work tho, do you mind douple checking the link and what it contains please?
Hey there, Here is a direct link if there's any problems: www.compositingacademy.com/ae_to_nuke_free_course When you hit download you'll have a Packaged folder inside of the .zip file. Inside of that, if you open "Script.nk" you'll be able to follow along. Cheers! Alex
amazing course, I think it will help a ton of AE users to transition to Nuke! just as a heads up, it seems like the end of the video is cut off a bit. otherwise, big fan of your channel, keep it up! :)
great video as usual, but do you know how i can get Free CG models in .exr format? to practice multipass compositing? as i'm newbie in 3D and can't really render out models my self, so any ideas?
Hey there, In terms of free ones I'm not sure. You could render one out of blender pretty quickly which might only take a few hours of tutorials to get you there. We have a pretty good project to learn multi-pass exr compositing in our beginner series if that interests you: www.compositingacademy.com/nuke-compositing-career-starter-bundle It includes a script / CG renders / and complete walkthrough as well to get comfortable, as well as learning how to organize your workflow as you deal with those kind of renders. All the best!
Hi, I am a motion graphics and VFX artist specializing in broadcast television and advertisement projects. I have been using After Effects for 15 years and am proficient with AE. I am considering learning Nuke to explore its workflows. My concern is whether transitioning to Nuke will lead me to abandon After Effects entirely?
I would say both have their strengths. AE is really good for things that involve a lot of 2D motion graphics and things that require a lot of timing. That's the strength of a layer based approach and sliding things around on a timeline. Nuke is really great at detailed VFX work, or compositing CG. For example, it's better at dealing with any type of 3D render (cinema4d, blender, houdini, etc) because of the way you can break out node trees and create templates. It's also better at anything involving VFX composited into real footage, because of it's 3d camera system and projection system. Where AE is better is really 2D motion graphics and illustrative motion design, but it's not built as a compositing package. I typically use after effects still for that type of editing work, but not for VFX. Of course you can do simple compositing tasks in AE, but it's not the best tool for it and it will be slower - and it doesn't scale well into more complex VFX. Cheers!

I was looking for something like this forever! Just all the basic AE effects that one would use for simple CG compositing. thanks

I am so thankful for this tutorial... It took me literally days to find good tutorials and finally I found one! thank u so much!
Awesome, glad to hear it was easy to understand and useful!
This is AWSOME. I used to think that I'd love to change from after to nuke, now I'm thinking about changing from photoshop as well haha
I've watched many tutorials about AE to Nuke, including the Foundry one, but this one is really outstanding. Thank you very much Alex for this tutorial, truly you're a great teacher, you are the Nuke's Andrew Kramer. Now probably I'll do my next project in Nuke ;)

Wow Alex! This tutorial is suuuuper complete!! Many thanks!
Thank you so much for making this video. We need more beginner tutorials on Nuke!! :D
This tutorial is gold dust! 🙌🏻 Thank you
Awesome idea Alex
I use fusion but I really enjoyed watching this
I'd love to get into Nuke but the commercial version only supports up to 1920x1080, and most of my client projects are shot at 4k, sometime 6k now.
The free version is pretty good for learning, if you're doing direct freelancing Nuke Indie might be a good option for you as it doesn't have those resolution limitations
thank you so much bro for this video, this is EPICCC
Thanks for putting this together!

@@CompositingAcademyAwesome. This is one of the best AE to Nuke tuts
Thank you very much, Alex!
Well I wish this existed 3 years ago when I made the switch.
Same! It can be frustrating when you know a base knowledge of stuff and you just need to transfer that knowledge into another package, so hopefully this makes it easier for those people.
Thank you king
its really interesting i remember downloading this years ago and deleting it. now I downloaded it some days ago I actually used it without tutorial and didn't have too much difficulty. blender really helps.
blender definitely helps a lot - once you use nodes you never want to go back to anything else
@Alex I remember that Pic. Pedro was the GOAT.
