Nuke VFX Software — Compositing, Editorial and Review

Your post-production powerhouse

Nuke is the powerful node-based compositing tool at the heart of the Nuke family. Whether your focus is on blockbusters, animation or binge-worthy episodic content, Nuke’s flexible and robust toolset empowers teams to create pixel-perfect content every time.

Features

Post-production powerhouse
With over 200 nodes and a scalable node graph and image processing engine, Nuke provides the ultimate compositing toolset and gives artists everything they need to tackle diverse digital post-production challenges at any scale and resolution.

Advanced compositing tools
Nuke’s Deep compositing tools reduce the need to re-render CG elements when content changes. It allows artists to work with images that contain multiple opacity, color and camera-relative depth samples per pixel.

Work with future-facing technology
Nuke offers support for the leading industry standards including OpenEXR and rising technologies including Hydra and USD. Plus, with support for OpenColorIO and ACES, color management is easy and ensures consistent color from capture through to delivery.

Maximize your 3D workflow
Artists can quickly place 2D and 3D elements using Nuke’s integrated 3D environment. This workspace allows complex projection workflows using custom geometry to be set up and rendered with ease.

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.
