Thanks Sean and congrats to Juan. I'm glad that there seems to be a renewed focus on Studio, competition in this space can only be good.
Juan I know we have spoken several times about the performance (mostly the lack of) of NS, however after a rather extensive review of our pipeline and a major adjustment to the way we work here I can confidently say that things are significantly better. One of the main reasons for this is the abandonment of the rushes after we conform. As soon as our conform is locked (admittedly not done in NS) we write out 70 odd thousand dpx frames and consider this our master, and work is performed on this only. Our SAN can quite happily serve realtime HD playback this way. This is in contrast to other software, which is happy to playback prores rushes all day. My major issues (this week!) currently are: -Stability. I really cannot tell what has been improved here. Doing relatively light work across many shots, I'm getting several crashes per day. There doesn't seem to be a single cause, any action can seemingly cause it. It's at the point where I'm going to suggest we reimage the machine. If Nuke wasn't so good at saving as it goes I would have thrown the towel in long ago. Furthermore there are still situations when on relatively light scripts NS will completely hang for minutes at a time, soaking up CPU time but doing very little. NS win64 10.0v3 -Dual monitor performance. Working with 2 monitors and switching between timeline and compositing environments is an issue I feel needs significant improvement. It is unpredictable, often spawning additional viewer windows despite a tabbed one existing. Hotkeys do not function unless you have the correct window in focus. -Rotopaint/Roto. There is still a bug which causes tools to stop responding. Select the paint tool and all your cursor does is draw a selection box. I don't know how to make it happen, but fixing it requires closing and opening Nuke. I believe this has existed since Nuke 8. I'm not sure why this is still a problem.

I’ve just completed five jobs finishing and grading music videos so I’ve personally seen how fast and efficient Nuke Studio can be as well as felt the frustrations when it lets you down, especially at export. I’m obviously a big fan of The Foundry’s software, in fact I was one of the original champions of the Nuke and Hiero workflow back in my days as a Nuke compositor. When I first saw the potential and how powerful the tools could be together, I was really excited about how it could change the way artists like me work. I think many of you probably agree with that statement. It’s for this reason that I moved to work for The Foundry and why I have now gladly accepted the role of Product Manager for Nuke Studio. My first job has been to look at our roadmap for the next few releases and ensure we’re getting the most important fixes and improvements out to you as quickly as possible. I’ve already set up a team to focus on playback and we’re working out a timeline to get some more quick wins on export, transform and reformats and create comp into your hands asap. More on this soon. Like Sean said, we’re working out the best way to improve the feedback loop with you all and will be sharing plans on this really soon as well. In the meantime, I hope you are looking forward to this new chapter with as much excitement as I am.

We also know there’s more to do. First I’d like to thank you for continuing to contribute ideas and feedback. This is invaluable as we continually evolve the Nuke family of products. Addressing Nuke Studio specifically, we know that it hasn’t been the smoothest of rides. We’re sorry for the frustrations, both from the software and our communications. When we launched Nuke Studio we had a vision which was hugely exciting, and our drive toward that vision hasn’t changed. While Nuke Studio is a great tool for conform, collaboration and project supervision, it's not where we want it yet for consistent real time playback. We are making changes. To ensure we better address the needs of Nuke Studio and its users we’re creating a new Product Manager role within the Nuke team focused exclusively on Nuke Studio. Juan Salazar, who has been a key advocate for Nuke Studio, and remains a keen commercial user of both Nuke and Nuke Studio will be taking this role. We’re also working to ensure we are better connected with you, we want to improve the feedback loop and make certain we’re collecting your ideas more efficiently as well as sharing information on our plans for the product. We’ve been talking about this for a while with you so have lots of good ideas and will have more to share soon.

Okay. Conformed the entire show off Arri prores and kept our 50 odd shots spread out over the timeline. Performance was pretty sluggish at the best of times, in hindsight I should have written everything out to DPX and worked off of that, it may have sped things up. Didn't have a whole lot of issues like what Frank has been describing, but this was on v9. I've had several conversations with The Foundry about performance in longform but it's mostly news to them. Constant unexplained hangs, no realtime playback, the adding a track when dragging a clip is super annoying - as mentioned. Since that project finished I've been mostly using an Autodesk product that rhymes with Frame, and the difference is night and day.

No good experience comes from this product, which just builds upon hiero which already had/has flaws. But I guess The Foundry is just very good at marketing. Maybe the job they do best.

We just use Hiero and have often wasted days trying to get it to work. Batch renders stop (tried the one thread idea but no joy); the timeline often auto creates a new track when moving clips up a layer; sequences can break etc... Yet the Foundry have time to release a new product without fixing the old ones. Still feels like a version 1 release. NukeStudio? Life's too short.
