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.

Tab -> j

If you make use of backdrops in nuke you should be using "J". Try it ,I'll wait. Got it. Ok so those who are reading this away from any install of nuke. When hitting "j" you get the same node search dialog but for parts of your scripts.

Another reason to stay organized.

Many great tips on Nukepedia.com. Have a look for yourself.

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.
