In this Short I show 2 practical ways to make a clean plate in Nuke: • Method 1 — Roto + RotoPaint: paint a clean background from a single frame (best for static backgrounds). • Method 2 — Multi-frame sampling: use nearby frames, track and reproject background patches (best when background is revealed across frames). Nodes used: Read, Roto, RotoPaint, Merge, Transform/Tracker, Blur, Grade, Grain. Want the full, detailed breakdown with node-by-node settings? Comment “FULL NUKE” and I’ll post the long tutorial.
