Hiero-Creative Editorial Review

What is HieroPlayer?

Available within Nuke and NukeX, HieroPlayer is the desktop review tool that enables artists to review shots in context and compare render versions quickly. This flexible playback tool allows artists to connect to Hiero and Nuke Studio workflows, empowering creatives to review a complete multi-shot timeline in context of the edit.

Features

Full online-editing toolkit
With the same multi-track editorial timeline as Nuke Studio, Hiero’s intuitive editorial tools get the job done fast. With conforming tools and GPU-accelerated soft effects on the timeline, intelligent background rendering and fluid workflows, Hiero has everything you need to complete your project on time.

Integration with the Nuke Family
Along with timeline sharing with Nuke Studio and HieroPlayer, Hiero offers seamless integration with the rest of the Nuke family for faster, more efficient teamwork. Generate and share Nuke scripts, efficiently review annotations, and compare and manage versions with ease.

Flexible review tools
With real-time playback and numerous view options, blending modes and color sample tools, Hiero and HieroPlayer speed up review at any stage of a project. Hiero also offers SDI-broadcast monitor-out support, so you can check your work in context for faster, more efficient teamwork.

The perfect fit for your pipeline
Hiero offers the same opportunities for customisation as Nuke, with support for major operating systems, a Python API and Pyside included, and BlinkScript for creating your own GPU-accelerated timeline effects.

Note: The currently supported version of VFX Reference Platform includes library versions that are only compatible with Rocky 9.0.

Linux 14.1Qualified Operating Systems

CentOS 7.6 to 7.9 (64-bit)

Note: The currently supported version of VFX Reference Platform includes library versions that are only compatible with CentOS 7.6 to 7.9.

MacOSQualified Operating Systems

• macOS Ventura (13.x).

• macOS Sonoma (14.x)

Note: Nuke 15.0 and later includes native support for Apple silicon hardware. Other OS versions may work, but have not been tested or qualified on.

Note: Nuke 14.1 is supported under Rosetta emulation on Apple’s silicon hardware.

WindowsQualified Operating Systems

• Windows 10 (64-bit) or Windows 11 (64-bit)

Other OS versions may work, but have not been tested or qualified on.

Minimum hardware requirements

Processorx86-64 processor, such as Intel Core 2 Duo or later

Storage5.70 GB disk space available for caching and temporary files

RamAt least 8 GB RAM

DisplayAt least 1280 x 1024 pixel resolution and 24-bit color

Video cardGraphics card with at least 512 MB of video memory and driver support for OpenGL 2.0.*

*To enable optional GPU acceleration of Viewer processing, you need OpenGL 2.0 with support for floating point textures and GLSL.

Requirements for GPU Acceleration – Windows and Linux

If you want to enable Nuke to calculate certain nodes using the GPU, there are some additional requirements. See the Release notes for full details of requirements for GPU acceleration.

NVIDIA

An NVIDIA GPU with graphics drivers capable of running CUDA 11.8, or above. These are bundled with the regular drivers for your NVIDIA GPU. Driver versions 522.06 (Windows) and 520.61.05 (Linux), or above are required.

NOTE: We recommend using the latest graphics drivers, where possible.

AMD

The following GPUs with an appropriate driver are supported. See the release notes for details on support available in specific versions of Nuke.

• AMD Radeon PRO W7900

• AMD Radeon PRO W6600

• AMD Radeon PRO W6800

• AMD Radeon Pro W5700

• AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT

NOTE: Other AMD GPUs may work, but have not been fully tested.

Requirements for GPU Acceleration – MacOS

See the Release notes for full details of requirements for GPU acceleration.

Mac GPUs

Apple silicon integrated GPUs are supported as are AMD GPUs on the following Intel CPU Macs.

Any late 2013 Mac Pro onward (including 2019 Mac Pro),
Mid-2015 MacBook Pros onward, and
Late 2017 iMac Pros onward.

All supported Mac Pros will include a multi-GPU support option, where applicable. When enabled in the preferences, GPU processing is shared between the available GPUs for extra processing speed. Bitwise equality between GPU and CPU holds in most cases, but for some operations, there are limitations to the accuracy possible with this configuration.

WARNING: Although AMD GPUs are enabled on other Mac models, they are not officially supported and used at your own risk.

Add-on GPUs

AMD cards in eGPU set-ups for macOS 10.13.5 and later. The Sonnet eGFX Breakaway box and BlackMagic eGPU have both also been tested with Nuke.

GPU requirements for the Machine Learning Toolset

Training using the CopyCat node requires an NVIDIA GPU, with compute capability 3.5 or above; on MacOS Apple silicon integrated GPUs are also supported.

If an appropriate GPU is not available, Inference and other machine learning plug-ins can run on the CPU with significantly degraded performance.
