Free Nuke Keying Template: Advanced Green Screen Tree (Tony Lyons)
Original title: Advanced Keying Template (AdvancedKeyingTemplate_v06 + Walkthrough)
Overview
This Advanced Keying Template is a set of Nuke scripts by Tony Lyons (CreativeLyons), published under GPL-2.0 in the 00_Templates folder of his Lyons_Tools_Public GitHub repository. The tree structures a green-screen key into core despill, edge despill, core matte, edge matte and a BG despill mix using standard nodes such as Keylight and IBK, and an annotated Walkthrough version explains each stage.
The three .nk files (v06, Walkthrough_v01 and a Stamps variant that needs the Stamps tool) plus an edgePaintTemplate.nk are free to download without login, but no footage is included, only the node tree. It is a solid starting structure for compositors wanting a repeatable keying pipeline.
