AutoDesk Smoke :: Can't Copy Edit From One Library To Another
Nov 10, 2011
I try to copy an edit from one project library to anothe project library, I get the error message: Clip Mgt: Entry "..." has pending rendered video media. Deselecting entry.
How can I find out which media ist still pending render? Because everything is processed, everything has been loaded in via store local copy... The only thing I couldn' figure out is, my edit has the little lightgrey SOFT icon on it (although no clip within my edit has that icon....the only light grey icon there is in my edit is the H for clip history. so I don't know where this is coming from, and maybe it all connects together...)

I'm using fcp hotkey , by default the 'drag copy (single frame)' is mapped to ' alt-c' . Normally this will work fine. But in some case where a cfx clip is selected or my time indicator is parked on top of a cfx clip in active timeline , then do 'alt-c' will give an error message "connectfx cannot be modified inside the containers. Proceed with edit ? "
So to solve this temporarily, i have to first deselect the cfx clip or move the current positioner on top of a non-cfx clip.

I'm new to Smoke and have an issue. Im importing an xml from FCP and Smoke crashes in the library. I'm taking a class @ FXPHD and the first class is an easy xml import reading the source media.
As soon as I load the xml into the clip library Smoke crashes. I've already gone thru the system set up requirements and have a great machine built to Smoke requirements. I'm wondering if it is a network configuration of some sort? Not sure...

I wonder how many of you would love to have that back. Cant find a poll option here. So guess just reply. Not that its gonna change anything. But atleast we would know how many wish to see it as it used to be. May be AD might have second thoughts.

The Thumbnail in the media library are not useable. They need to be larger. I know the desktop is also an option, but for quick scanning, they don't serve there purpose.

If i have many libraries and i'm viewing one of my library, there's no info or title which says i'm on which library folder. The only way is to look at the 'eye' icon in the media lib. It's not a fun when i have many folder/lib and i expand them. So i have to scroll down to find out what library i'm currently viewing.

I have a project with one library read only - incompatible, It started after an error with archiving, I think that the library was locked by archive process and now I can't even select the library, when I select appears the message: CLIP MGT: error when opening archive: SF: Operation could not be complete. And smoke changes to another library.

Is there anyway to turn off sorting alphabetically in the media library? I really dont need this feature and in the versions of the past I was free to organize however I wanted.

I need to open about 50 folders and extract the image sequences within the folders from my library. A flame demo artist showed me how to do it at NAB and I can't remember how to do it now.

Most every time I open a project I'm working on I get a Recovered Media folder in my default library. What is this media that's in this folder? Should I get rid of it or leave it?

Is it possible to get export media to respect the in / out of a clip thats been set in the library? My work around of chopping up shots or chopping off slates and saving those out to the library seems a clunky.

1. When creating a subclip from the source sequence, I then go to edit the name of the new subclip in the Media Library. After doing this, the sequence timeline switches to what looks like a viewer, and won't switch out of that mode until I double-click a sequence in the Media Library. This appears to happen when I create a new folder and drag the subclip into it.
2. Clips in the Medial Library within Folders are in sorted order. Please allow the editor to place clips, folders and sequences in whatever order they want, via drag and drop placement.
3. Shift-/ (play in-out) does not appear to work.
4. Names in the Media Library that are too long only show the end of the name. Standard Mac behavior is to show the beginning, then an ellipsis, and finally the end.
5. When viewing a source "timeline" (which rocks, BTW), please remove the name of the source from the timeline track. It gets in the way of audio waveforms, and in this case, is redundant since there's only the one clip anyway.

I'm coming from a Smoke Linux perspective so the terms might not be right:
Pre-Release 6, I've imported and EDL, linked it to DPX film scans on the network, and consolidated 10 frame handles. I can "cache" the files locally as ProResHQ, but how do I do a "store local copy"? That is make a copy of the DPX files I need on my machine.

If I work in CFX on a shot in, say, a 60" commercial and then want to drop it into the 30" cutdown. I need to trim a couple of frames from the head to match the cutdown, if I do this gesturally, it un-renders and when I re-render, all the source material has been slipped inside CFX.

I am trying to figure out how to add handle length to an edit...
so here is my detailed workflow: Footage Alexa Prores -> converted via Davinci (with LUTs) to MXF -> offline edit in avid... export as AAF (link to media)
conform in smoke (with original prores files) ... all good, BUT I want to add 12 frames handles to every shot and export the sequence as DPX for grading in davinci
I need the handles due to possible reedit on different music afterwards.... Which step i can add the handles (conform in smoke? export in smoke?)
after grading I have to go back to smoke for compositing and hope there is somehow also a automatic way of telling smoke to conform the graded DPX back to the original edit

It's not a show stopper but if you select more than one clip on the thumbnail desktop and pen copy they don't copy to where you place them but jump to be half hidden off the source area.

I am conforming three 2 minute long sequences and am trying to soft import all the footage, then conform, then consolidate to 24 frame handles, then Store Local Copy all the footage (only used in each sequence). I feel like i used to get a "Pending Render" super over the preview player in the Library. For some reason i am not getting this message. Is there any way to check the progress of the Store Local Copy, or to make sure that smoke is actually storing a local copy? The drive that the media lives on is a 2TB GRaid and i am getting awful performance in smoke when trying to do anything with the clips/sequences, which i expected...

Is there a hotkey to add/edit a soft effect?
I know that the Euphonix panel we have has an edit soft effect button. But it doesn't add the effect as well. (plus you have to hit the "NAV" button to make it accessible)
Does this function already exist?

I've got HD sources in a SD timeline with some comps done on the desktop. all fine . I want to resize the timeline to somewhere between SD and HD but.
Trial1. create new Timeline at new resolution, copy all edits from SD TL and insert in new TL.. this doesn't work because there's a bug and all the edits reset themselves to 0 frames of head i.e. slips all the edits.
Trial2.. save edit in the library and reformat it to the new resolution, i don't know what goes wrong here but it doesn't work.

I have a number of clips that were soft imported, then used in the paint module to remove some blemishes. I have since done a 'store local copy' on the original clips.
The painted clip still has the 'soft' indicator. How do I update the painted clip?
Is there a way to go into the history of the painted clip and replace the soft import with the local copy? Do I 'store local copy' on the painted clip?

How can I copy the timecode from the clip in my viewer, and jump to that point in another clip?
I use this often to compare the same point in time for an offline to online clip. I can open the timecode input window, and manually enter the timecode from one clip to another, but I can't seem to find the copy and paste commands that will use that timecode as the input.

I followed the upgrade procedures and the projects appear in the projects list but they are empty once I enter them.I noticed a workspace icon appears next to the edit button the first time a try to launch a project. See attached screenshot. The only choice there is workspace.

i have a clip in layer 1 and i want to move it to layer 2 , i don't want accidentally move in horizontal direction (change edit point), i want to move straight vertically. Using FCP hotkey, i can activate snap (shift key) to constraint it to a cut, but that only works if i got another clip, if there's no other clip , i can't do constraint since there's no reference. In FCP i can still doing it because it can use the current clip's previous position as reference edit. But in Smoke , i can't do that. I think there should be a feature added for this process. The workaround is : do not move the clip but using duplicate, then delete the original one... but seems too complex for that little tiny task.
