Compatibility Nuke Please check exact version compatibility under the "COMPATIBILITY" tab below
Description
smartLib is a project and shot management system for Nuke. If you find yourself often switching between different projects and/ or shots then this tool will become handy for you. You can easily navigate between different projects and shots, set shot status and write notes. Other artists in your team that use smartLib too can see the shots status and comments and can add and edit them. This enhances the collaboration among artists in your team and makes every day's compositing work more effective. In addition you can create new shots out of fully customizable shot templates.Main features

Do I get updates?
Yes. If you buy a license you will always and forever get any update - no matter how small or big the update is. That's what we call a fair deal.
Do cragl tools work on machines that are not connected to the web as well?
Yes. Any tool can be installed and used fully featured with and without inernect connection. If your machine is connected to the web, then installing any cragl product is dead simple and literally takes you just 3 clicks. But installing any cragl product when your machine is not connected to the web is also simple. For more information about offline installation and usage please refer to the faq site on our website: www.cragl.com/faq
Which kinds of licenses do you offer?
We offer node locked licenses and site licenses.
Node locked licenses are locked to the machine that you install it to. Licenses can also be transfered to another machine.
Site licenses can be used on an infinite amount of machines and are not locked to the machine. The machines don't need to be connected to the web (this also applies to our node locked licenses!) You can also use site licenses on athera and any other dockerized environment.
On how many machines can I use my purchased license?
That depends on the type of your license. If you buy one node locked license you can use it on one machine for commercial use plus on a personal computer/laptop for personal use. If you buy more than one node locked license then you can use all of your purchased licenses on your machines for commercial use. If you buy a site license, then you can use this license on any machine on as many machines as you need. The license will then not be node locked and can be used on any machine - even in Foundry's athera and other dockerized environments.

• bulk shot creation from template: all three shot creation methods (empty shot, from existing shot folder structure, from shot template) include now the ability to create multiple shots in one go. In the name input simply enter multiple shot names separated by comma.
• source footage default folder: In the current shot section right click one of your folders and choose "footage direcotry->set footage directory". Now you can directly browse to the folder by navigating to cragl->smartLib->import from footage directory. This can be set per shot or you can also set a default footage directory in your shot template to enable this feature for each shot. In the right click menu you can also choose a global folder outside the shot itself so this will then always direct you to that folder.
• global gamma slider for shot thumbnails: in the settings window in the general section there is a new slider for setting the gamma when creating shot thumbnails.
• collapse image sequences: In cragl->smartLib->settings in the general tab you can find the option "collapse image sequences". This collapses image sequences in the current shot section and displays a sequence in this format: sequenceName.[1001-1100].exr. If you need to copy, cut and paste items you need to uncheck the collapse image sequences option in smartLib's settings window.
• insert into dag: in the currentShot section right click a file, image sequence or nukescript and choose "insert in dag". This will insert the selected item into your node graph.
• insert shot notes: choose cragl->smartLib->insert shot notes. This creates a sticky note and pastes all notes for this shot into it.
• all items get sorted alphabetically. This is now the default method.
• improved file selection behaviour in shot lib section. This behaves now exactly the same way as selecting files in your explorer.
