Open the Tutorial Project File
In this tutorial, you work from a project file that already includes the node trees. Each tree is setup for the examples that follow.
To Open the Project File
|
1.

Launch the Nuke application and choose File > Open Comp from the menu bar. |
|

In the file browser, navigate to your Nuke_Tutorials/Tracking/ folder, select the tracking_tutor.nk project file and click Open. |

It should show some nodes in error. Don’t worry! It can’t find the tutorial files. So before doing anything else you have to tell this script where to find these tutorial images. Double-click on the NoOp node in the top left corner of your Node Graph. It’s called Tutorial_Path. Double clicking brings up a Properties panel on the right. Enter the path to the tutorial files in the Tutorial Project Directory. Use the file browser as that’s often easier than typing it in. You should then see tutorial images appear. |

Move the mouse pointer over the Node Graph, and press F to frame the entire contents of the project file. |
The examples in this project file are grouped with colored boxes, called backdrops, and each contains a node tree for the tutorial examples that follow.
TIP: Backdrops let you organize groups of nodes, like those shown in this project file. Select Other > Backdrop from the Toolbar and drag the backdrop title bar to move it. Drag the backdrop corner to resize it. Any nodes surrounded by the borders of the backdrop move with the backdrop when you drag its title bar.
