Nuke integration PRODUCTION
PRODUCTION This feature requires the Production add-on (free for the first 14 days). In the trial or without the add-on, menu items show " (Production only)" and cannot be used.
From ShotList2 to Nuke
- Select clip rows in the list (or the Review BOX). You can select several.
- Right-click → "Copy for NUKE (node), NukeStudio, Hiero (bin)". In the Review BOX, Ctrl+Shift+C also copies.
- Paste.
- Nuke: paste into the Node Graph to get one Read node per row, side by side.
- NukeStudio / Hiero: select a bin and paste to import the clips.
What goes into a Read node
- The file path (
%04dfor sequences) and the frame range - The format (including the anamorphic ratio)
- Color space:
defaultfor stills, sequences and camera RAW (left to your Nuke settings) /rec709for video - For rows split into cuts, only that cut's range
Rows whose media is missing can still be copied (they show as red Read nodes in Nuke).
Formats Nuke cannot read (HEVC, R3D NE, N-RAW, Phantom Cine, monochrome ARRIRAW, etc.) still produce Read nodes but will not open in Nuke. Nuke 14.1 / 15.1 cannot read ProRes RAW or X-OCN.
From Nuke to ShotList2
From the File menu, you can turn Nuke media into a list.
| Menu | What it reads |
|---|---|
| "Paste and Import from NUKE (node), NukeStudio, Hiero (bin)..." | Choose it after selecting nodes in Nuke and pressing Ctrl+C, or copying clips in a NukeStudio / Hiero bin |
| "Import from Nuke Script (.nk)..." | The Read nodes in a .nk file. Dropping a .nk file onto the window does the same |
| "Import from NukeStudio / Hiero Timeline (.otio / .xml)..." | An exported OTIO or Final Cut Pro 7 XML. Files exported from DaVinci Resolve also work |
In the import window, choose the following and click "Import":
- "Import into": "New Project" or "Add to Current Project"
- "Include disabled Read nodes" / "Include disabled clips" (No by default)
The window shows "Media to import: n" and "Missing media: n (will not be imported)". Only files that exist are imported, and nodes other than Read nodes are ignored.
