The Express Write is a "Smart Group" wrapper for the standard Nuke Write node. It automates the most tedious parts of rendering—path creation, versioning, and format switching—while providing one-click access to local renders.
### Key Features
Zero-Setup Pathing: Automatically generates a folder structure based on the Nuke script's location. If the script is unsaved, it intelligently redirects to a local "nuke_renders" folder to prevent path errors.
Automatic Folder Creation: Uses a
beforeRendercallback to ensure the directory exists on your hard drive before Nuke attempts to write frames, eliminating "Directory not found" errors.Dynamic Versioning: Features an
auto-bumptoggle that increments the version number (v001→v002) immediately after a successful render.Smart Extension Logic: Automatically toggles between image sequences (
.####.exr) and video containers (.mov) based on user selection, adjusting the TCL file path to prevent invalid file errors.One-Click Review: * Open Folder: Navigates your OS file explorer to the render directory.
Open in Player: Launches the render in your system's default media player (VLC, RV, etc.).
Integrated Denoise: Includes an internal NukeX Denoise node that can be toggled via the "Task" dropdown for quick pre-comps.
