AutoDesk Smoke :: Cannot Export - Stone And Wire Doesn't Work
Aug 5, 2012
I 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:
unknownd830624e3a74:~ Tomi$ cat /usr/discreet/sw/log/sw_dbd.log

[Code] .....
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.

I was waiting for a long time to get back to smoke since I left that FFI platform few years ago. Installed a demo to check the stability of the program on OSX. Have a problem with Stone+Wire. Smoke wont start - i get an error that he cant connect to stone. Checked Service Monitor - Stone+Wire is blinking red and green, the same as wiretap server. When I press restart, it goes green for a few seconds then goes back to red again.
My rig : 2 x 2.66 6-Core Xenon 17GB Ram os 10.6.8 and I'm setting up media storage to external G-Speed raid-5 that is connected by ESATA.
here are long files

I made it through a project with a few Smoke crashes, mostly on a particular clip. Then when I go back to make revisions a day later I get this message:
Error: VOLUMEMGT: Failed to initialize Stone+Wire connection.
Everything was working fine up to that point besides the few Smoke crashes that recovered with no problem.I am really in a bind now and need to finish this project urgently.sw_logs_2.txt

I get error error "Failed to Initialize Stone + Wire connection when I start Smoke 2013. It working fine for 3 weeks.I uninstalled, reinstall, and still cannot get it to work.
Do I need to get a new download? Someone said it may be due to my internet connection.

I read studios2010 problem and it sounds like I have something similar.
I get to the startup screen and get "Failed to Initialize Stone & Wire. Press Escape."
I have a student license and I might have a corrupted .db file. Just don't know where .db files are on my computer.

I'm trying to export quick times from smoke 2013 but it's failing the whole time. The engineer installed sp2 but I realized that the system has still installed the sp1, has it something to do?, I have to uninstall sp1 and then install sp2?, I mean, have I to install the smoke again? In the company where I'm working with there are two smoke systems and I'm opening the backburner monitor and appears the two systems, is it good?, The error that that the system has is:
SMOKE-01.local [error] 2891913768 transcoderMediaProvider.C:312 02/25/14:18:36:16.886 Cannot get type of clip IFFFS-158:/stonefs/TC_-_BOXING/workspace/Media Library/_Export_140225_161339_1/H_16777343_S_1393362820_U_578586/hires: Library _Export_140225_16

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.

Having 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).

I can't get clips to render to the stone in the background. I am running 2012 SP2. I looked and the Backburner version is 2013.
How do I get rid of this? I have run the uninstaller, but that is less than a complete un-install it seems.

just tried to get access to a Flame Framestore via Wire/Network but unfortunatly I only see the Harddrive, not the Framestore.
I would love to load some conformed stuff from the Flame.
Is this not yet implemented or is there some special setting I have to change either on the Flame or SMAC? (SMAC 2013 prerelease on MBpro)

I get this prompt while copying sequences between projects with gateway-linked footage, and I'm not sure what it means.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
CLIP MGT: Unmanaged media contained in selection. Store media on Wire?

Is it asking me if I want to store a local copy or stonifize the media?

Will Corel6 (or later) ever be able to export to a web page directly since the HTLM export doesn't work (drops links). The Corel Web program, or what ever its name is, was a joke. Its amazing that Corel work puts its name on a program that you could not open a CorelDraw file.
My current work around is to export to a JPG and then import that into dreamweaver and add the links there, then post. A pain but it works.

it seems to be a bit messy. I set it to F10 like in 2012 and the small popup box with the color picker doesnt seem to pop up proper. Something blinks on the top right corner and disappears. Same goes for colorbar. Any workaround or fix for this one?
Currently dancing between Flame Premium 2013x2sp3/2013Sp4 nd Smoke on mac 2013Ext1

This is a real problem with either storing media locally or generating proxies as smoke is bogged down creating all this unwanted media...
It seems to work (though not 0 correct) when you bring in an xml and smoke finds the media straight off the bat...but for any clips that don't link and you have to set a search location the specified handles get ignored and the whole clip is brought in...
This means that if you just want to unlink a sequence, consolidate and re-link to R3D media for example, all handles on all clips are ignored...

i 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 posted a 3 minute video showing how to work with the wireframe icons.Shortcuts to turn the wireframes on and off as well as the preferences to adjust the transparency and choose between showing all wireframes or a selected wireframe icon.
You can check all of this out on the Smoke Learning Channel..Or you can download the videos via iTunes

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.

Why doesn't Selecting clips in the "Timing" view in CFX reveal which clip it is the Schematic? I realize there is a very small corresponding number, but a nice yellow surround would be nice.

I really like Smoke, I've tried pre-release and I've noticed there is no realtime playback. I have pretty fast machine, MBP, 17, 1920x1200, SSD, 16Gb Ram, 2.3 Ghz (early 2011), AMD 1GB, but still it seems too slow for Smoke?
optimize it for laptops, because 50% of users siting on laptops.

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?

I'm having issues exporting still frames from Smoke. How do you specify the frame to export as a Single Frame? I can see anywhere where you tell Smoke what frame should be the Single Frame to export from a timeline.
I need to export a series of frames, about 200 in total but they are at random places in a 1 hour 30 min timeline so I need a fast and easy way to get this done.

I have a sequence that I only want to export a segment of, from my marked in-point to out-point.
Where is the option like in FCP & Avid, to just export that segment? I would really like to have to not create a subclip each time I just want to export a segment.

I'm conforming a sequence - importing RED files - then exporting that sequence for color. When importing the RED files, what color setting should I use? Camera, user etc? If user then what other options should I use knowing that I'll export a dpx sequence for color?

Doing a project in 5760 x 1080 (3xHD). And smoke does not import, crashes, leaving no reports. Just hangs.Upon a new project, and import, but when pushing the edit button for resize, crashes again. Hangs, no report...
Is Smoke capable of doing 3xHD projects?

I have an edit and now I want to export as DPX sequence. A couple of questions:
First, is there an easy way to take a single edit and export it with handles? I realize that I can make a subclip but is there an easier/better way to do this?
I can't find an automated way to set handles on export. I have about 175 shots that I need to export .

PR5. Up until this release, I haven't had a problem exporting quicktime movies. I have a 2:30 long video that I'm trying to export with no success, at best I'll get 30 seconds of my project. I'm not as familiar with Smoke setups and preferences
