Hi @k99 !

This is a known Nuke bug (don’t know the issue number, but you can find it in their bugtracker) and there is a (ridiculous) workaround for it. Just add this to a studio wide init.py file ( I hope you have one) :


def set_ocio_color_management():
    if nuke.Root()['colorManagement'].value() == 'Nuke':
        nuke.Root()['colorManagement'].setValue('OCIO')
        # Simply switching to "OCIO" can leave the "Thumbnail" and "MonitorOut" settings
        # in the on the root node in an old state. To force an update on these, we
        # need to switch to "Nuke" and back to "OCIO" again.
        nuke.Root()['colorManagement'].setValue('Nuke')
        nuke.Root()['colorManagement'].setValue('OCIO')


nuke.addOnCreate(set_ocio_color_management, nodeClass='Root')

Hope they address that in future releases.

Cheers,
Fabian
