LiveInput
The LiveInput node is a type of Input node. Adding a LiveInput to a container type node, such as a Group, Precomp, or LiveGroup adds a corresponding input connection to that container node, just like an Input node.
LiveInput differs from Input nodes in that they can reference Nuke scripts external to the current script, allowing you to work collaboratively with other artists in the context of a source script without the need for rendering or reading footage from the source script.
