Adding a Nuke .nk files to a menu in the toolbar...

[mattdleonard]

Hi,

I have made a very simple script that basically creates a 16:9 PAL safe frame.

I've grouped it and saved the grouped script as palSafe.nk into the normal plugins folder.

What I want to do is add a menu open off the toolbar which will run this script.

I've tried this in menu.py but it doesnt work, can anyone help me out.

nuke.menu("Nodes").addMenu("SphereVFX", icon="sphereIcon.png")
nuke.toolbar("Nodes").addCommand("SphereVFX/palSafe", "palSafe.nk('palSafe')", icon="palSafe.png")

When I click on the newly defined palSafe button in Nuke I get this error...

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'palSafe' is not defined

I've attached my menu.py and palSafe.nk in case it helps

Many thanks in advance,

Matt

what do you want to do ? You can chacne ur composition setting to pal 19:9

if you want to change your comp res. you can use reformat node for pal to anything or your comp format to any format or scale

Hi,

All I'm trying to do really is run a .nk script from a custom menu in the tool bar.
The reform node I have got my head round way back

Thanks

Just add these to the "toolbars.py" file

# The "SphereVFX" menu
m = toolbar.addMenu("SphereVFX", "sphereIcon.png")
m.addCommand("SphereVFX/palSafe", "nuke.createNode(\"PAL169SafeFrame\")")



It worked fine for me. Use the gizmo I made

Well, these gizmo does not make a reformat, it is just graphic lines on top of the video to represent the 16:9 title safe. You have to perform the reformat before or you have to include it in the gizmo.

Hugo,

Thanks so much for your help, I've now got my head round both creating custom menu options and gizmos thanks to you.



Thanks again,

Matt

Ps. can you recommend any good books on Python ?

I found that the "Dive into Python" which is free for download was of big help when learning the language... :-)

BIG fan of that book, and Programming Python, Mark's sequel to the above.
