ZHiCK Hub
One app to install, update and license every ZHiCK plugin. Built so that owning a tool and using it are the same step.
0.8.0 · 2.1 MB · 20 October 2026
Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit. Free, and you do not need an account to install it.
Install
Choose a tool and click install. The hub puts the bundle where Nuke looks for it, so nothing has to be copied into Program Files by hand.
Update
New builds appear in the hub as they are published. It updates your plugins — and itself — without another trip to this page.
Activate
Paste a licence key to unlock a tool, or start a trial where one is offered. After that the plugin checks the licence offline, with no connection to anything.
- 01
Run the installer
It takes a few seconds and asks nothing of you.
- 02
Open the hub
Every ZHiCK tool is listed, with what you already have installed marked.
- 03
Install and activate
The licence link in your receipt opens the hub with your key already filled in.
Windows will warn you the first time
The installer is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen shows “Windows protected your PC”. Choose More info, then Run anyway. If you would rather confirm the file before running it, the SHA-256 below matches the bytes this page serves.
Verify this download+
The published SHA-256 for version 0.8.0. The download URL is pinned to that version, so this hash and the file you receive can never drift apart.

What's new in 0.8.0+
Before installing, a product's page now shows the programs it will go into, with everything found on this machine already ticked: installing is still one click, and you can untick a program you don't want. If After Effects isn't listed, "Find it on this computer" lets you pick its folder. You can also remove a plugin from one program and keep it in the others, and each program lists every version found, such as After Effects 2026 and 2025.
System requirements+
Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit. The plugins the hub installs are OFX and run in Nuke and other 64-bit OFX hosts; After Effects has no OFX support.
