i use this node education parpose - Francois Leduc on FrameBlendMerge:
You could also use a TimeEcho node. There’s no Min mode, but to fix that, apply a Invert Node to your source, plug TimeEcho (in Max method) and apply another Invert node after. Go at the end of your timeline, change the “Frames to look at” to the number of frames or your shot (or less) and you should get your clean plate. Of course all of this is done on a stabilized shot. - Richard Frazer on Colour Smear for Nuke (UPDATE v2.0):
Hi Josh. Thanks for the feedback. You have correctly discovered that this tool works best when you have a solid core for a matte with a feathered edge. Where it fails is if you have large areas that just have semi transparent alpha (such as your grimy window). I’d approach this by separating your actor with a rough roto and using the colour smear to deal with their edges. Then for the smudges maybe try extracting the green channel and using using it to drive a grade for your background, or... - Josh Northeast on Colour Smear for Nuke (UPDATE v2.0):
Hey Richard! Absolutely love the tool. Saved my ass alot. I’m working with some greenscreen plates where there is a smudgy window behind the actor and a greenscreen behind that. We need to preserve the smudges on the window but that means it’s hard to use your tool to treat the edges because the alpha isn’t clean. Any tips? Cheers, Josh - Matt on Keyframe Reduction script for Nuke:
Nice! Just used this on a projection/stabilization job and it worked great to simplify the original camera keyframes and smooth out the reprojected shot. Thanks!

#deepdream video
July 23, 2015
I’ve been reading with interest the developments by Google in Neural Network image recognition and how it drives their Inceptionism Deep Dreaming. You are effectively forcing a computer to hallucinate and the results are extraordinary.
My first thought was “How can we run video through this?”
I started experimenting with animated gifs – manually stripping out frames and using the dreamdeeply.com website to process them. The results of these can be seen below. In the last few days there have been several libraries uploaded that allow batch processing of frames on home machines, which means that large sections of video can be processed efficiently. This processed clip from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas really broke my mind. I’m hoping to get these libraries installed and play more with this technique.
I’ve linked the animations below behind poster images, as they are quite large and heavy to load.
