Cutting Attributes
The cut button under attribute keys lets you delete any keys set at the current frame to animate the attributes of selected strokes. It also copies these attributes to the clipboard. The
shape of the strokes or any keys set to animate their shape are not affected.
To cut attributes:
1. In the Viewer, scrub to the frame that contains the paint stroke(s) whose attributes you
want to cut.
2. Select the paint stroke(s) from the list in the Paint node controls.
3. Under attribute keys, click cut.
Nuke deletes any keys set to animate the attributes of the selected paint strokes, and
copies all these attributes to the clipboard.
Copying, Pasting and Cutting Stroke Vectors
After creating a paint stroke, you can copy, paste, and cut its vector to use the same shape in
other paint strokes.
Copying Vectors
The copy button under curve keys lets you copy the vectors of selected strokes at the current frame to the clipboard. Unlike the cut button described below, it does not delete any keys
set.
To copy vectors:
1. In the Viewer, scrub to the frame that contains the paint stroke(s) whose vectors you want
to copy.
2. Select the paint stroke(s) from the list in the Paint node controls.
3. Under curve keys, click copy.
Nuke copies the vectors of the selected paint strokes to the clipboard. Any keys set to
animate these vectors are not affected.
Pasting Vectors
The paste button under curve keys lets you paste any vectors that are on the clipboard to
the selected strokes at the current frame. It also set keys at the current frame to animate
these vectors. The attributes of the strokes or any keys set to animate the attributes are not
affected.
To paste vectors:
1. In the Viewer, scrub to the frame that contains the paint stroke(s) to which you want to
paste the vectors on the clipboard.
2. Select the paint stroke(s) from the list in the Paint node controls.
3. Under curve keys, click paste.
Nuke pastes the vectors (but not any attributes) on the clipboard to the selected paint
strokes and sets the current frame as a key frame. The vectors of the selected paint
strokes on other frames are not affected.
