The "Nuke Indie" is ideal for Escapees who do freelance gigs and work on small budgets.
Eligibility
To be eligible for Nuke Indie your annual gross revenue must be less than USD$100,000/year (or local equivalent), which is the same criteria as the "Houdini Indie" and the "Maya Indie" (which you can read about here). Likewise, you cannot work in the same pipeline with other Nuke commercial or Nuke Indie licenses, so it is meant for smaller productions. For further details on eligibility, see Nuke Indie Eligibility Requirements.
How much does it cost?
The Nuke Indie is priced at £399 per annum on subscription, which should be affordable for most freelancers.

Functionality
Like most other Indie packages from other companies, the Nuke Indie does have some limitations, but it has NukeStudio at its core - not just a costly version of Nuke non-commercial.

With the Nuke Indie you get all the functionality of NukeX (including SmartVectors, CameraTracker and GridWarpTracker); plus you get the editorial and conform and versioning of NukeStudio. This means that you can also conform your friend’s music video, do the shots with whatever tools you’ve always had in Nuke and then output a fully colour-managed timeline to your Colour Grader / DI guys.
The limitations that the Nuke Indie does have are:
Limitations
- 4K Output. Output is limited to 4K
- Python. Basic Python Support (If your main thing is being a Nuke developer and you just really like scripting, then you can get in touch with them because they actually do like people creating new functionality for Nuke)
- Rendering. There is no External Rendering Support (so you have to render on your own machine and can’t send it to the cloud, but for the £8,000-ish that you’re saving you can probably buy yourself a better workstation now)
- No Third Party Plug-in Support (you can still download all the gizmos you want from Nukepedia - or make your own)
