Auto-Publish and Review System for Nuke using FastAPI + MongoDB

Auto-Publish and Review System for Nuke using FastAPI + MongoDB
(Personal Dev Project)

I just completed a project that automates version publishing and review for Nuke using a custom web API and database system.

With this tool, Nuke artists can instantly push .mov metadata and thumbnails to a review server, no need to touch the command line or worry about file management. Admins can manage users, clean up versions, and regenerate thumbnails from a clean UI.

  • Built with Python, FastAPI, MongoDB, JWT auth, and Nuke API and PySide.
  • Admin/user roles, login/logout, versioning, thumbnails, and deletion.
  • Clean web frontend with Jinja2 templates.
  • Token-based Nuke integration (enter your credentials and publish with one click)

I designed it with real-world VFX workflows in mind (lightweight, async, and fully scriptable)

Tech used: Python, FastAPI, Motor, PySide, MongoDB, Jinja2, JWT, FFmpeg, Nuke API
