Nuke Placeholder errors | Nuke file templates

Hello everyone,

I have created a google doc that explains my problem in detail as a new user I’m unable to embed media using Nuke workfile templates.

Copy of the google doc:

I am watching this video.

I have an issue with AYON placeholder nodes. I’m working on a series and I have created a test project (TEST_ACES) with two shots to use as an example.

Here is my folder hierarchy :

All of my media is in the IN folder, let’s take the exr sequence in the “BDDO_105_505_030_master” folder for example.

I followed the tutorial and ended up with a template.nk file that looks like this. I stored it in the templates folder.

Let’s focus on the placeholder node I created for the master, it looks like this :

Problem being it loads all of my exr sequences that have the name master in it. So it loads it from BDDO_105_505_030_master and BDDO_105_524_010_master.

Is it possible to have a single template.nk file in the template folder that loads only the desired exr sequence per shot?

I would like this to happen :

I open Nuke from Ayon like this (524_010)

Load the template from my template.nk file

And have only the exr sequences related to the name of the shot.

For now it loads ALL of the master shots.

It is an issue regarding AYON placeholder nodes.

Thank you for your time and have a good day.

From your document, do you want to be able to use some tokens in your file path regex in the placeholder?

e.g.
.*{parent}_{folder[name]}_master.* which evaluates to 524_010_master
(As far as I know, it’s not supported to use Available template keys in placeholder.)

Does setting Folder Builder Type to Current folder solves the issue?
Screenshot is from Houdini, but the tool is the same.

Hi there, I have tried both of these suggestions but it does not seem to be working. I will let you know if I find the solution to this issue. Thank you very much !

I’m pretty sure what Mustafa describes should be the correct way (you shouldn’t need a folder filter if using “Current folder”.

Could you share the example setup that failed with Current folder?
