Create multiple Writes nodes for multiples Reads - With RGBA channels activated

//Select Read nodes first

root_frame_path = "/YOUR_PATH"


nodes = nuke.selectedNodes()


for n in nodes:

    roto_name = n.name()

    n.setSelected(True)

    w = nuke.createNode( "Write" )

    write_name = roto_name.replace("Roto", "Write_")

    w.knob("name").setValue(write_name)

    image_path = "{root_frame_path}/{write_name}.png".format(root_frame_path=root_frame_path, write_name=write_name)

    w.knob("file").setValue(image_path)

for a in nuke.allNodes('Write'):

    a['channels'].setValue('rgba')

Change specific attribute on all nodes

//Works also with "selectedNodes"
//"render_mode" and "textured+wireframe" are examples of attributes to be changed.

sn = nuke.allNodes()

for n in sn:

        n.knob('render_mode').setValue("textured+wireframe")


//Alternative script for selectedNodes:

for a in nuke.selectedNodes('Write'):

a['channels'].setValue('rgba')


//Alternative script for allNodes:

for a in nuke.allNodes('Write'):

a['channels'].setValue('rgba')

Set localizationPolicy off on all Read nodes

sn = nuke.allNodes()

for n in sn:

        n.knob('localizationPolicy').setValue("off")

Count selected nodes

len(nuke.selectedNodes())
