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!

Website reboot
February 06, 2012
The website has finally had a much needed redesign. I realised that the static, individual case-study style portfolio I had before was too restrictive. I work on a diverse range of projects, a lot of which are feature films that I cant show in the public domain until long after they are released, so having a formal write-up of each one is not always an option.
I’m also hoping to do tutorials about some of the tools and compositing tricks I regularly use – the site will act as an online repository so that I always have them on hand and they are available to everyone visiting.
Finally I will be blogging about any interesting, industry-related articles I find, and also any behind-the-scenes insights I can share from jobs I work on.
