Creative Cloud? Give Me a Cloud That Can Cook →
What I meant by “removing the button” is that Creative Cloud should be like Tony Stark’s Jarvis. “I rendered those 3,000 frames for you sir, would you like to take a look?” This isn’t new technology I’m talking about—it’s simply smart use of existing technology. Which, by the way, is actually what Adobe’s good at.
I'd love a Jarvis.

Nuke takes *forever* to unload memory (Windows 7) →
Just wondering if other folks have an issue with Nuke taking many minutes to unload a script from memory when it's quitting? I often end up killing Nuke, instead of letting it finish closing on its own, since it can take many minutes to slowly purge itself from memory! If this is a common problem, it seems like a bug report might be apropos Anyone else?
This is a problem on all platforms. On Mac OS X you can even get a crash that keeps the GUI but removes it from the dock and has no PID so you can't force quit. Most times you have to reboot the box.
Creating a clean plate →
Gary Jaeger:
I don't do a lot of paint/clone work so this may be a basic question. Imagine a shot of a moderately traveled freeway taken from an overpass. At various points in time, different parts of the freeway are clear of cars.
A good discussion on techniques for making a clean plate. When do not need one of those.

This sounds great:
Developer tools – developers will be able to write their own image processing operations inside of NUKE using the new Blink Script node, which utilizes the GPU.
