 Nucleo Pro 2 from Gridiron Software and the BG Renderer CS3 script that is freely distributed by scripting guru Lloyd Alvarez often get direct comparisons in their functionality. I come across discussions in forums, email lists, post house / design shop discussions everywhere that directly compare the two pieces of software. I'd like to provide a definitive answer on what the pros and cons are between the two, including some render tests to compare render speed.
First it would be prudent to establish what a fair comparison would be. Nucleo Pro 2, retailing for $395, has a long list of functions not found in the BG Renderer script, like proxy rendering, commit to disk, spec-rendering, 3D application rendering, dedicated Cache Manager window and more. The BG Renderer script does one thing: render in the background. With many unsure as to which one is the right choice for them, let's begin by comparing the one function that they share in common: rendering in the background. |

Expression Presets
|

 These two After Effects expressions are pretty simple, but they make slide show projects a breeze!! The first, "AutoZoom", makes a layer zoom (scale) based on the in and out points of the layer.The "zoom" value, is how much it zooms. Positive or negative values will both work.
//AutoZoom - Apply to Scale
zoom = 10;
value + linear(time, inPoint, outPoint, 0, [zoom, zoom])
Next, AutoFade creates fades on head and tail of any clip. The transition is specified in the "transition" variable, which is defined in frames.
//AutoFade - Apply to Opacity
transition = 20; // transition time in frames
tSecs = transition / ( 1 / thisComp.frameDuration); // convert to seconds
linear(time, inPoint, inPoint + tSecs, 0, 100) - linear(time, outPoint - tSecs, outPoint, 0, 100)
