The brief states that a 30 second video artifact is needed with each of the sequences. This means that a video breakdown needs to be created that is a minimum of 30 seconds long. This is a fairly simple process, but at the same time it is very time consuming. To create a breakdown, the sequence needs to be written out and imported into Adobe AfterEffects.
The first step is to open the sequence in Nuke and read in a write node (see picture below).
The way the write node works is that it renders out the frames in the shot into a sequence of still picture images (see below).
To use the write node, plug it into node just like the viewer, then attach the viewer to the write node to make sure that what the right thing is being written. What is seen in the viewer is what is being written. After the write is attached, in its properties (see picture below), go into the file section and select where the write needs to save the shot too, and what the intended name is. It is important to use the right naming convention, the best way to be sure is to use the .#. The amount of hashes that are used depends on how many digits are in the shot, an example is if the shot is frames 344-345, .### would come after the file name (or .## if the frame range was 62-99). Then end with .jpg, which is one of the best naming conventions to use.
The next step is to click render, turn use proxy off if a proxy hasn't been selected and type in the frame range and select OK.
Now the write node will write out the shot in an image sequence and it will be accessible from the folder that was selected to save it to.
Next import the image sequences into Adobe AfterEffects and arrange the shot that were written into whatever order works best to create a decent breakdown.
