Joe Raasch instructs at the Sececa VFX and has posted some great Nuke tutorials in the past. Recently, Joe posts a look at everything you ever wanted to know about the Nuke Merge node, but were afraid to ask.
[pullquote]This tutorial takes a look at the Merge node in Nuke[/pullquote]As Joe mentions in the tutorial, new users can be a bit intimidated by the Merge node in Nuke as there are quite a few options listed that can seem a bit cryptic. Joe walks through the menus, trying to place the different commands in context for compositors.
The thing to keep in mind is that Nuke contains a robust channel manipulation toolset, and the Merge node can take full advantage of this. While this gives Nuke a lot of power, it can also be confusing to someone who is new to Nuke.
