Get reviewables overall

General

Hello,

I have been crawling everything I could but I can’t figure out how reviewables work.
I am trying to basically:

  1. get a .mov 4444 and a .mp4 upload to kitsu from a Nuke render
  2. get a .mp4 from an exr sequence from blender and houdini

the only thing I managed to get working is getting a mov from nuke using the review intermediate from ayon_settings:nuke, when submitting to deadline.

I tried a bunch of things in
ayon_settings:publish:extract_reviews
ayon_settings:publish:extract_OIIO_transcode

but it won’t produce any video files. So either it is set correctly, but it is not being triggered somehow (like missing the “render” or “review” tag), or it isn’t set correctly.
I don’t need anything fancy, I just want to have a mov file in raw color space to send to clients and an mp4 in srgb for Kitsu.

Is there any page I missed that explains how to set it up? Or is there a good soul that could take a minute to tell me what I am doing wrong?

I’d be very much appreciated, it’s driving me nuts :slight_smile:

Review workflow

Abstractly, it consists of 4 steps. Users are able to enable, disable and customize any of them.

  1. Generate the image sequence from a DCC.
  2. ExtractOIIOTranscode : Converts the sequence’s colorspace using OIIO.
  3. ExtractReview : get/compute the sequence info using OIIO and then convert it to a video using ffmpeg.
  4. ExtractBurnin : Add text using ffmpeg.

Tags are used for enabling additional actions.

Trigger Review Process on Publishing

There are two ways:

  1. To select review product in the creator/publisher tool.

  2. Enable review toggle on render products in the creator/publisher tool. (which marks your render product as reviewable)

How to know if your render product has a reivewable mp4

Open Loader/Browser tool and select your render, and on the bottom right side check the avaialble representation, and look for the reviewable item. (it depends on your ExtractReview settings),but by default you should see h264_something.

Why my review is not pushed to my production tracker

It boils down to 3 things:

  1. has the review product the tag related to your production tracker.
  2. has the review product the family related to your production tracker.
  3. is the plugin responsible for pushing review to the production enabled.

Why my review is not pushed to kitsu

  1. Check if your review has kitsu tag kitsureview in Extract Review settings ayon+settings://core/publish/ExtractReview
  2. Check if kitsu family is added to your products. you can specify that via collect kitsu family setting ayon+settings://kitsu/publish/CollectKitsuFamily.
  3. I think the plugin responsible for pushing the review to kitsu Integrate Kitsu Review is enabled by default.

For information, you have misspelled the tag kitusreview.

You should use kitsureview instead.

It doesn’t work when rendering the review on farm (deadline). The review tag is lost and the preview is not created in the end
