The color bars on Nuke nodes reveal which channels are present and being operated on. The text icons reveal internal operations. All color bars and text icons are demonstrated and explained in this NUKE tutorial.
- [Voiceover] Hi, this is Steve Wright,…welcoming you to this week's Nuke Nugget,…How to Read Nuke's Many Node Indicators.…Nuke nodes have a number of colored bars…and external letter markers that spontaneously appear…while you're working.…Here we'll take a look at all the color bars…that indicate channels, plus the letter codes…that appear around the node's edges…that tell you what's going on inside the node.…So, let's scooch over here first…and take a look at our color bars.…Let's start right here with this guy.…This Read node, you can see the three color bars, RGB,…that's telling you that this is…a Red/Green/Blue three-channel image.…
Now, I'm going to select this and add a Grade node.…Now, watch what happens if I tell the Grade node…to only operate on the Red channel.…I've disabled the Green and Blue,…and I'm only doing a Red thing.…So, looky here, the Red bar is full-sized,…but the Green and Blue are short.…What this is saying is all three channels are here,…but the Red one is the only one being operated on…
