Adrian Pueyo //
Senior Compositor
This week,
I'm excited to share an interview
with Adrian
Pueyo, a Senior Compositor
who is currently working at Trixter.
I've shared so many of Adrian's
incredibly useful tools in this
newsletter in the past, and he was
gracious enough to take the time to
share some of his wisdom with us in
an interview.
Here is Adrian's Bio:
"I am a digital compositor from
Madrid, Spain, who has been
living in different countries
and working in different studios
in the recent years, and who is
really passionate about the
technology of VFX and the
technical part of image
manipulation and learning
something new every day. I’m
fascinated by the world of
compositing and although I’m an
artist I keep getting attracted
to programming. I am currently
working as a freelance senior
compositor in Trixter
(Munich)."

apChroma
Adrian's
latest tool,
apChroma, is
hands-down the most useful gizmo for
handling Chromatic Aberration. Most
gizmos just do the basics or have
issues dealing with the alpha
channel, although this one gives you
both tons of control and a
technically-correct result!

apDespill
When
my
regular tricks don't work
with standard despill algorithms, or
Keylight's despill produces unwanted
results, apDespill
is the gizmo that often
bails me out of a tricky situation.
It runs via Blinkscript and can
despill any colour (not just green
or bluescreens) in a predictable
way, and includes a nifty feature to
protect specific tones from said
despill.
If you're still clinging to DespillMadness
for dear life, I'd highly recommend
you check out Adrian's gizmo.

KnobScripter 2.0
For
all the Python
folks out there,
KnobScripter is an amazing tool that
significantly improves your coding
experience in Nuke! You can directly
add code to anything from .py files
to specific knobs on a node, and can
do so far more easily than in Nuke's
default Script Editor.
Knobscripter v1.0 was
featured in a previous issue of
Ben's Comp Newsletter, and
v2.0 has now been available
since May 2019. It features some
nice improvements, and is a tool I
personally use all the time!
