Getting advanced settings/Knobs informations

#For a specific knob, here for "mov32_settings" in a Write node
i = nuke.selectedNode()
print i.knob('mov32_settings').value()

#Or for the whole node - https://berniebernie.fr/wiki/
print(nuke.selectedNode())

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")

Set value of BBox parameter in Merge nodes to B

for n in nuke.allNodes('Merge2'):

    n['bbox'].setValue("B")

Count selected nodes

len(nuke.selectedNodes())

Export multiple files in DXV

#This script comes from the great Benjamin Vedrenne. DXV is the codec made by and for Resolume.
#Select all Read nodes or sources first.
#This script create a write node under each selected read nodes. Easy for fast and massive file conversion TO VIDEO.
