newbie ..shut off bezier outline!!!!!
by lou cann on Oct 21, 2009 at 8:06:37 pm

Hi,
Ok, I admit, I have been cheating on after effects. This new chick called NUKE is making me think of the unimaginable,..leaving AE.

Anyway, as a 5 day newbie, the one thing thats driving me nuts is trying to shut off the outline of the bezier mask. For example, I rotoscoped around a person and merged with a background image. I want to view the edges of my foreground image (mask) to adjust the blur. In AE, I would deselect or toggle off the mask visibility,but I can't find it in Nuke.

Thanks,
lou

Hi--
Just clear the bezier node out of the properties panel, or roll up the arrow in the upper left hand corner of the bezier node.. You can get it back by double clicking in the node again.
Yes, Nuke is awesome!

I hate when the answer is right in front of me.
Thanks for that,
The only thing is, if i want to adjust the blur amounts while viewing it. It seems a little counter intuitive, I have to make adjustments, close it up, look at the results, re-open it, , make adjustments,.etc, etc.
BUT..i'll deal with that!

Thanks,
Lou

That's why flipping the little arrow up and down on the lefthand side of properties is good--you can still have it open but just turn it off and on in the viewer in the viewer. In AE it is about the same in that you push that button in the viewer to get the splines off.

Thank you Peter, great tip. But it doesn't work if the property windows are floating :-(

Also, why did Nuke chose to have us press Ctrl+Alt when doing bezier, I find it strange. Any technical reason?
