Bug in CW in Connect FX, when i try to do color balance a shot. so i plot the white color and try to change it via Highlight it does not move the color in color space view. Same happens when it done with shadow color wheel.
View 9 Repliesi am trying to understand how to work in the connect fx mode, but one thing that seems to be completely eluding me is why the output going to my broadcast monitor (via Kona3) is showing only the output from the left window when in CFX (currently Connect FX schematic), and not the final video.
My mac screen has a 2 up view showing the CFX Schematic on the left and the CFX Result on the right.
Is there any way that i can use the two windows on the mac screen without affecting what is feeding the broadcast monitor? I really want a system that always shows me the final output on the broadcast monitor, with everything else happening on the mac screen.
I have been running PR5 for a while and everything has been stable. Today Smoke locked up and I had to force quit. After the force quit I have been unable to start Backburner. If I try to export I get this message:
Cannot connect to Backburner Manager. localhost:Backburner: Connection Refused.
If I open Smoke Prefs and try to toggle the Backburner Manager box I get the following:
Backburner Configuration: Unable to switch to localhost. Connection Refused
I have tried re-starting Backburner in the Service Monitor and each time it will turn green for 10-20 seconds and then turn red. I have also double checked that the Manager Hostname in Smoke Setup is set to localhost. I have checked my Network settings and only Airport is active, using DHCP and IPv6 is set to off. I have uninstalled PR5 and installed PR6 but still have had no luck.
Oddly if I type sudo nano/usr/discreet/backburner/Network/backburner.xml into terminal I get "command not found". Similarly if I type ping hostname I get "cannot resolve hostname: Unknown Host"
I have footage that contains GS footage. I also have a graphic I want to put behind the two. I can achieve this with a vertical comp in my time line and the timeline axis effect. But when I try to connect the two with CFX I get an error and my footage looks wonky.

In the service monitor, the BackBurner is showing red - (tho the Manager is green) if I restart it goes green for a moment and then stops again.
I've also got a problem importing footage using 'Create Project Media' I get a message cannot connect to backburner manger on port -1.

When trying to open the Connect FX editor, I get the following error on all connect FXs: "The Connect FX has lost its setup and can no longer rendered or edited."
inside CFX, when i move node in a network with a lot of nodes, sometime when i drop the node, i can accidentally connect it to wrong node, as there will be a lot of connection line in that area. So is there any way i can disable this autoconnect feature temporarily ?

how LUT storage should work with Smoke 2013, but I think I'm seeing a bug.
I'm loading a LUT, able to using it as a monitor LUT and apply it to a clip, but when I reload the project, it loses the LUT path and I have to reload it. I've tried storing it on a network, and locally in the discreet folder. Is this a bug.
Any tips on making the shadow cast work? I have a background piped into action and some 3d text with a light. I add the shadow cast to the light and there's no shadow. Will the shadow cast on a backgorund or does a shadow need other media (not a background) to cast on?
View 8 Replies View RelatedHaving cut together a short commercial recently, I have been unable to export my sequence/ work. There are no error messages, only incomplete exported versions of the sequence (sometimes 1 second, sometimes 8 seconds!) or nothing at all. It will go through the motions and not generate an exported file.
I have attempted to export my sequence multiple ways - from the timeline, from the media library and from the mediahub - with identical results. I'm totally at a loss. I've also gone back to a sequence which I was able to export successfully one month ago and now I get the same problem - either no result or some fractional piece of the edit - never more than a few seconds. My finished edit, by the way, is a 30-second spot.
For example, here's one way I've attempted to export:
1. I select my sequence from the media library and right-click for export.
2. I select movie, choose my destination, and select a format preset (I've tried just about every preset, hoping it was a preset error of some kind), and
3. I hit export.
Instead of the spinning prompt in the lower left corner, showing me a percentage countdown (or count-up) - which was present a month ago when I was las exporting a show -I get a quick audio mixdown prompt in the lower left then nothing. It all happens in less than 1 second from the time I press "export".
I've copied the console log for your review. This particular effort/ screenshot resulted in an 8-second clip, which is the longest one (still incomplete) I've been able to generate since I attempted to export starting yesterday. Again, my sequence is 30 seconds, and it either does nothing, generates an empty file (45k in size) or creates an incomplete movie file (usually 1 or 2 seconds).
The overlay of free guide and working area in the viewer don't work. I can't see any of these overlay indicator in the viewer. Is this a bug or do i miss something ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have successfully finished 2 projects in Pre2, but today, Smoke started to crash when I forced it to save.
Stone&Wire is red, and won’t restart.
After typing
cat /usr/discreet/sw/log/sw_dbd.log
into terminal I got this:

I have rebooted several times, but no luck. I’m not a programmer, but as far as I understand, the problem is on a framestore. Funny thing is, the last saved version is still available in Smoke, everything is in place, and it plays normally, just when it comes to saving or exporting, it crashes, or refuses to export.
Is it having problems debayering .r3d files at full quality? It works fine with all other quality settings but with full I just get digital noise.
The .r3d files are 5K from an Epic.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes Smoke have selection functionality similar to that of Combustion? As an example, you might want to selectively blur part of an image. In Combustion, you would draw a selection and then apply an operator above the selection to achieve this. I don't see a similar selection tool function in Smoke, but I imagine you could achieve the same effect by duplicating a layer and using a Gmask via the Wipe timeline FX.does Smoke not have a selection tool similar to Combustion?

View 1 Replies View Relatedi have been a long user of romcat... but would like to use the new corel connect. i use the folders selected to my HD folder that has all my cdr files (20yrs worth from ver 1). when i type in a search word that is in 100's of my cdr files keywords... connect doesnt display them. In romcat it does display them, even older files, with the same key word. connect only shows cdr files that have in its file name part of the search word, but seems to ignore the key words in the files.
I have all my job files with important key words within them, but the actual file names are simple job numbered names. i noticed on searches from X5 content on dvd, the files also are just numbers, but the search finds key words.

I have RED footage which I exported as EXR. When I import them back in, they look exactly like the RED footage. But when I import the EXR in Fusion, export it back out, and then import that EXR into Smoke, it looks brighter, although I didn't change anything in Fusion. (when I compare the EXR from Smoke and the EXR from fusion in my finder on my desktop, they look exactly the same). So what is Smoke doing with the "foreign" exr on import?I was also playing with the LUT settings. I get a result which is close, but I need to be exact.
