AutoDesk Smoke :: Control 2 Macs With One Keyboard And Mouse
Nov 6, 2013
I know most of us have 2 computers in our suites and would be nice to controll both computer without having to use 2 mice and 2 keyboards. Right now I am using 2 computers, a mac pro and a macbook pro. I would like to use my MacPro's keyboard and mouse to control the macbook pro much like a mouse and keyboard on a second display. I've been using an application called teleport, but it doesn't allow me to use keyboard commands.
I've heard/used synergy, but it's to much work for the final product.

I can roll trim with the mouse - but not with the keyboard (I can slip and slide with the keyboard) - am I missing something?
Also is asymmetric/bidirectional trimming possible?

Which option to set for any case on Adjust box.
There is a box below the Stablizer button. Pressing the Adjust Box for a while, it pops up with 3 options which are Adj off, Adj Axis, Adj offset. I've used "Adj off" all the time as default.
On the other side, there is one more Adjust box for Vertices. I don't get it either. I just used it set to "Adj Tangents" as any tutorial said.
I tried to understand it from user guide, but it is still unclear.

At random points while editing my keyboard will become inactive within Smoke. I've mapped out a custom keyboard and it works well to a certain point. It's as if I've accidentally changed a setting that "turned off" all my key maps. I can't zoom, insert or even playback from the source monitor or timeline.

I do a heavy job about an into working on a comp my keyboard will stop working, every once in a while if I cmd + tab out of smoke and back into smoke it will do the same thing, but my mouse always works. The only way to really get the keyboard back to working is by rebooting the app. This is really embarrassing when you are doing supervised sessions and you have to reboot.

I can only do a pen right click (using the pen button) with the smoke FCP7 keyboard settings.Shouldn't be like that, I guess, and I think this wasn´t with pre3
Only alternative is to press ctrl and click, but well, what are my pen buttons good for and i´m lazy, especially when i have to access option menus.

I have used smoke for a few years now, and one of the things that I find frustrating is the camera controls in action.Would it be possible to have a control hotkey set-up like maya/XSI/3DS? Some other softwares allow you to choose the keyboard set-up.
Using the maya set-up:
Alt - left mouse : tumble
Alt - middle mouse : track
Alt - right mouse : dolly
This means while looking though the lens you can move the camera in any orientation, you only need to hold down the alt key and use the 3 button mouse/Wacom to navigate.

When i scrub playback control in the cfx , it's slower compare to if i scrub the same thing (same viewport layout) inside the timing editor timeline. In timing editor the scrubbing response is a lot smoother even when we're looking at the same objects on the viewer. The playback control need to be fixed.

what i like in fcp, i can easily doing cut very fast, because the clip is not 'sticky'. So i can grab the clip and move and i got a very 'light' drag. The timeline is more 'slippery' ... i don't know how to say it. The drawback is : it's sometime become too sensitive so i can easily by accident move the cut and mess up the edit. I become paranoid , so i have to hold my breath while clicking :-) . But again the pros : it's easy to do fast edit or to crumble cuts around.
In the other hand .. what i like in smoke , this will rarely happen that i accidentally move the clip while i intend to click it. It's more 'sticky' to the timeline. So there's like more friction while try to drag the clip (only when first click/drag the clip not when the clip is already floating). The drawback is sometime i feel , it's hard to do some fast cut just by moving the clip around. :-) well, as usual, if we have 2 options, option A and option B, then we will tend to ask : do i have option C ( somewhat between A and B) ?
I'm asking is there any sensitivity control while i drag the clip. So it's between FCP and SMOKE. Something like a 'treshold' parameter.

I'm noticing with the new 2012 released, start up times are much slower. This seems to be caused by a 3 minute long control surfaces: intialising.The only control surface I'm using is a Intos tablet.Is there anyway to by-pass this?The .cfg didn't seem to have any control surfaces line.

In gmask, i switch the softness to 'tracer' so i got individual control of each the control points (cp). But seems that the feather's cp doesn't have its own tangent control. Is is hidden ? how can i turn it on ? or is it not available ?

Is there any keyboard shortcut in Smoke to shuttle quickly across footage (with sound playing) at 2x or 3x speed like you can in Avid/FCP/Premiere etc by double/triple-tapping the J and L keys?
This makes scanning through clips and the timeline so much faster and I consider it a basic essential.

I'm specifically looking into using motion vectors to control the position of a texture. For a better idea of what I mean. See this video, especially at 1:08
[URL]
I'm sure some people will call this the "Paperman" effect.
I see a lot of information out there on how to use motion vectors to do motion blur, but not much else. I'm sure they are capabable of soo much more! All that movement information from 3D in a 2D environment sounds great!
I have motion vector channels correctly exported from Maya and I'm wording which CFX combination I would use to composite a texture in a way that it was controlled by the movement information of the motion vector channel.
I know these 4 CFX can read motion vectors.
Motion Blur Node
Timewarp Node
Pixel Spread
Motion Analysis
But so far, no luck in achieving the desired effect.

I use Lightroom 4 on two Macs and try to keep them in sync. I keep my Lightroom data in my Box sync folder so that it syncs with the Box servers, and between the Macs. That way I, in theory, have the same data on both machines and backed up in the cloud.
The trouble is, the same data doesn't appear on both Macs. I've tried navigating to different Lighroom catologs and backups, but don't seem to be able to find the right files. how catologs work and how to find the most recent file.

I have Lightroom 4 running on Macbook Pro (mid 2010 with Mountain Lion), and it loses mouse control totally after a while.
Problems started when upgrading from 3.6 to 4.1 and upgrading to 4.2 did not work. Sometimes I might be able to use the software for hours, sometimes problems start just after ten minutes or so. Only restarting the software seems to work.
Lightroom is only program having this kind of problems, and problem stays same, no matter am I using external mouse or trackpad. Keyboard commands are working all the time and Lightroom seems to respond those normally, only mouse control is totally lost or acting randomly. If I use iPad with Air Display as second diplay, mouse seems to work there just fine even when window in MBP's display is having problems (I saw problem before installing Air Display).

I'm trying to set up a keyboard shortcut in Illustrator using the "control" key and I get the error message "The key pressed cannot be used as a shortcut." I really want to use the control key because, 1) it matches a similar shortcut that I use in Photoshop, and 2) all similar shortcuts are already in use. I'm confused as to why Illustrator won't allow me to use the ctl key in shortcuts, yet in Photoshop it works fine. I'm using CS6 with OSX Mountain Lion.

I still can't control the keyboard shortcut commands in After Effects. Why is the command to duplicate different in photoshop and after effects? Doesn't adobes project managers work with each other? Or do the sections close their doors and do their own thing? The 3d space is different in every application they own.

I know that the AJA Kona 3 card has 2 outputs. Can Smoke send one eye to one channel and the other eye to the other of the Kona 3 card? Dual Stream output is what I am really getting at.
