Install a ZHiCK plugin

From the zip

1. Unzip everything to a folder, keeping the files together.
2. Close Nuke.
3. Double-click Install.bat and approve the administrator prompt — the plugin folder lives under Program Files, so Windows asks.
4. Start Nuke. The node appears under the ZHiCK menu.

By hand

Copy the .ofx.bundle folder from the zip into

C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins\

so that you end up with, for example,

C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins\ZHiCKColorMatcher.ofx.bundle\Contents\Win64\ZHiCKColorMatcher.ofx

Then restart Nuke — it scans that folder at startup, so a plugin copied in while Nuke is running will not show up until you restart.

Updating

Install the new version over the old one — the installer replaces the folder. Your licence is stored separately and is not touched.

Uninstalling

Double-click Uninstall.bat from the zip, or delete the plugin's .ofx.bundle folder from the directory above by hand.

If the node does not appear

• Restart Nuke. It only scans for plugins at startup.
• Check the file really is at the path shown above. A common mistake is ending up with ...\Plugins\ZHiCKColorMatcher.ofx.bundle\ZHiCKColorMatcher.ofx.bundle\ because the zip was extracted into an already-named folder.
• These are OFX plugins using the General context (some take a second input). Hosts that only implement the Filter context will not list them, and After Effects has no OFX support at all.
• If a faint tiled “ZHiCK STUDIO” watermark appears over the image, the plugin is installed correctly and running — it just has not found a licence file. Activate it in ZHiCK Hub.
