AutoDesk Smoke :: Change Different Parameters Through Resize
Jun 18, 2012
I seem to recall that it is possible to call up a large grey box with info regarding the clip that you hover the mouse above? I have tried to use”/” (key next to shift), but it seems to relate to contextual stuff in ConnectFX. I tried to change the hotkey, but the result is the same..?
Framerates: When I import a DPX, ProRes etc. sequence I can change the different parameters through “resize” which works really great, but I can’t change the framerate. Often I just want to playback a DPX sequence @ 25 frames/sec. instead of 24. Is this possible without using “TmeWarp”?

Scenario: You need to make a film strip with 30 stills from the same clip. Then you take a clip, creates 30 Mux nodes, freezes the frames that you need and feeds into Action.
Problem: You have to manually go into each Mux node and puts them to repeat the last frame.
Solution: It should be possible to select multiple equal nodes, and change any parameter contextually, all at once, like any other graphic soft that i know. Another thing, these values must accept simple mathematical functions, i.e. : +10, -15, * 20...

How do i move a keyframe in time without changing any of its x,y,z parameters?
and Can i have different interpolations for individual keyframes on the same parameter? (so i can ramp a move into a keyframe, then continue out at a linear interpolation)?

Working in Smoke 2013 pre-trial v3, and I've been wondering why every clip I import has the resize filter? Every video and graphic in the XML has a resize filter even though they are they same aspect ratio as the sequence. I've tried this with a NTSC and 1080i sequence and they've both had the same issues. I even imported a clip through the media hub and I had the same result. When I look at the clip in Final Cut, it is the same setting as the sequence so I don't have to render. In Smoke, I enter the resize editor and I don't see any resizing.

I'm curious why the 'resize' node can only have 1 input ? why it's not designed to have rgb and alpha ? Currently i have trouble when resizing image (w/ alpha) in cfx since i have to use 2 resize nodes. when i need to edit , then i have to re-edit both or using delete/duplicate method.

How do I set the animation graph in Axis FX to show only those parameters that have been modified ? Currently takes me a while to locate the parameters that I want to tweak.

i have an image H:3639 W:4849 , now i want to resize it proportionally down to smaller resolution. Why there's no fast way to do scaling proportionally for example 2x , 3x or 1/4x etc. In above example , the only way is by using calculator and input a new custom destination resolution. My opinion is : there should be a button to grab whatever the source size and paste it into the destination h/w and then need a feature to lock the ratio , so while i change the w , the h will adjust automatically (simply like the 'prop' mode in the source area) . Right now i have to do too many 'click' and 'click' just for that simple task.

This week we are working with 16 bit DPX. We import that material into the media library as 16 bit float with the 16i_to_16f color transform. That media then goes on to a 16 bit float timeline. We then have to add a 16f_to_16i to get the image looking ok on the monitor again.
We seem to be having an issue when performing a resize on the material. There ends up artifacting around the hightlights. Changing the filter and filter values seems to have a better visual effect, but we're concerned that we are effecting other parts of the image.
Is there something else we should be applying to better map the values on the highlights?

i got a clip (.png) with alpha embedded. so this png is a matte container clip. When i apply resize from desktop tool. The result is a normal rgb clip with no alpha. It's no longer matte container clip. What is the best way to resize it? do i have to open the matte container and resize the rgb and alpha separately ? is there any better or smarter way to do it?

I'm attempting to resize a still but unfortunately the destination fields are editable, so I can't resize the resulting image to the size of my crop. What am I missing here? Why can't I just type in the values like in Smoke 2012???

I'm inside cfx where at the end of my network , i attach resize and set bit depth to 10 bit. Then i create a cfx node. The cfx node now cannot be rendered. After finish rendering, it will be back to unrendered state. The project setting itself is set to 16 bit fp. If i set that resize using the same 16 bit , then cfx clip has no problem.

I set up a sequence that is HD, but I have source material that is 2K (2560x1440). When I try to insert or overwrite said source clip to the sequence, it should insert and automatically add a resize node. Instead, it changes the sequence size to match the source size. Bug?
Also, I can't seem to find a way to resize the output of my connectFX node to match the sequence size. For example, lets say I want to comp a bunch of shots that are 2K in action, and then output an HD sequence matching my sequence size. How is this done? I have changed the comp size in action and linked that to the connectfx node, but it just puts the smaller comp size in a black box which is the size of the source material (in this case, 2K).

I just installed Smoke2013 without a problem! But I accidentally put the media storage in the main OS drive!! I want to use my Raid 0 drive. I unistalled it and delete all the autodesk folders and installed again but the setup program did't ask to use the other drive like the first installation!! It just used the main OS drive as before!!! How can I change the Media drive to another drive? Why when I unistalled Smoke and then re installed It didn't ask to select the media drive?

I am "pre-finishing" my work inProRes. Maybe because I have a slow internal HDD and too many timeline effects that need rendering.I am happy with the effects timing, the edit and the overall project.The next thing that seems obvious to me is to "switch" to "DPX uncompressed" (assuming I now have a fast Thunderbolt storage).
To achieve this I switched my project (with the pre-rendered ProRes timeline) to Uncompressed in the "Project settings".When done, the timeline was still rendered. It should have become "unrendered".To flush the existing render, I pressed "Force Render".
If I hover over the timeline thumbnail using the "?" key, I receive 1920x1080 8-bit.This is the case for both DPX and ProRes settings.If the timeline is rendered in ProRes, it should say so in the clip information.

I tried working on PNG image sequences instead of video footages.the problem is Smoke recognizes the fps as 59.94, and i want to make it down to 25fps.i tried using PAL.cfg, the frame rate did change to 25fps but when the sequences are imported in the timeline, its still 59.94fps.

In other applications, you hold down shift (quite often) as you move a slider and it jumps in larger increments. How is that done in Smoke 2013. For instance I want to move the scale value in larger increments.

When setting up a new project, I'm unable to change the bit depth for the project. It's set to 8-bit and ghosted. The graphics render button has a selector but when clicked it doesn't bring up the drop down.
My guess is that it has something to do with my hardware configuration (read: I need to upgrade my GPU) .

I am really liking the change in grey level to indicate focus as I click on timeline or desktop or mediahub. I think this needs to be a larger change - maybe 20% of the intensity and would work better as a means of showing source/record focus than the annoying white outline. I also like the desaturate I suggested on the inactive timeline bar 0 its a very simple way of quickly seeing what is live (other than glancing at the broadcast monitor).
All's well that ends. That's why its called finishing.

Is there a way to change the sensitivity of the transformation boxes? For example, if I want to very slowly change the click-drag scrolling functionality of the x position. Like in After Effects you hold command while dragging.

Change the menu item Quick off to Slow off.
See attached. It now take 4 pen actions to get the safe titles overlay on and off. And before it was one pen movement. So before it was aptly named quick off. Now you should rename it. Slow off. Or "waste of time" something that matches function.
I vote for reinstating the quick off operation from 2012. And I checked, there is no quick off in the hotkey editor, so I can't streamline the usage with a user key.

Simple way to select multiple clips in a sequence and change their durations to, lets say, 5 frames each. I'm basically trying to make a "stop animation" edit using footage that was recorded with different durations.

I have a Batch with 3 Action nodes inside. Each of these has multiple Geoms tucked away in groups.I only want to see some of the Geoms about half way through the clip.It's raised a few questions:
1) I can only think of animating their transparencies to make them appear at a certain point, is there some other way? Like if it was footage you could use the Timing in Batch.
2)I couldn't find a way to easily select a bunch of Geoms and change their transparency together, I could only do it by using Duplicate mode. But that takes all the parameters from the parent, what if you just wanted to alter one thing?
I could use an expression, but would I have to do that one at a time on all the Geoms?
3) What does the Parenting mode do exactly? can't you just parent thing while in Move mode? What does it add?
4) So I used Duplicate to link the Geoms to one in particular, it doesn't seem to have affected anything I didn't want it to (fingers crossed) and then used an expression on that to link it to a control axis for ease. Does that sound the easiest way?
5) And finally, I was just thinking it would be nice if I linked the transparencies to a control axis of some kind in the Batch, to affect all of the Actions. I half expected to find a 'Control Node' in the box Is there a particular node that would work well as a control axis?
