AutoDesk Smoke :: Copying Clips From Other Projects

Aug 30, 2011

What I don't get is when it says "navigate to the project that contains the clips you want to copy." Does that refer to /usr/discreet/project/<project name>? Because when I navigate to there, I don't see any media to import.

VideoStudio :: Copying / Pasting Clips Between Projects

Jan 19, 2011

I'm developing a project that is made up of clips taken from several other projects. Right now I go to one of the source projects view and find the clips I want, write them down and their location and so forth through all the source projects. Then I go and try to build my new project using this info. As the project grows this starts to get confusing. If two projects could be opened at once it would work but that can't be done.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Moving Projects To New Workstation?

Dec 11, 2012

I need to move projects and clips from an old system drive (restored from system crash, unbootable) to a new install on a new disk.

Is there a "best practice" for moving projects?

It looks like this

Disk1 (old)
/usr/discreet/clip/stonefs7/old projects
/usr/discreet/project/old projects
Disk2 (new)
/usr/discreet/clip/stonefs7/
/usr/discreet/project/

AutoDesk Smoke :: Moving Projects Between Systems

Oct 21, 2013

Is it possible, on a Finder level, to move project information (like sequences) between machines using Finder? After my current Smoke install has self-destructed without any fix from Autodesk, I need to retreive my work in progress.
 
I've tried copying the folder from /usr/discreet/project/ into the same location of another system with the same release version but it does not appear in either the launch screen or Media Hub.Can I replace the entire /discreet/ folder with the one from my crashed system to get the project back?

AutoDesk Smoke :: Recovering Projects From Dead Mac?

Jan 14, 2014

I hit render early in the am to ship out a project for delivery. And in classic Johnny Fegan fashion my mac pro crashes, and won't boot. So my next step is to start the mac in Target Disk mode, via firewire(probably the second worst thing that has happened to me, firewire) and started to backup everything. Due to the fast turn around on the Project, I never had a chance to archive the project.
 
My current working config(on the mac pro that died) was an internal raid0, and a pci express ssd. The raid is where I keep my local Autodesk Media Storage folder, and the ssd is my system drive(/usr/discreet). I just completed a back up of both folders to my secondary mac pro, with a license of smoke installed, and am trying to open my project on it. I set the backup copy of my old Autodesk Media Storage folder up to be used under the Smoke setup utility, and when I access it in smoke the only option I get is to create a new project.
 
Is there a way to get this project back online?

AutoDesk Smoke :: Archive Projects Via Command Line

Feb 11, 2014

I was wondering if it's possible to archive Smoke projects via command line as it would be so much convenient.

If so I could create a shell script with my project and library names and just leave it running overnight project after project. Is this possible? Or command line works only for un archiving?

AutoDesk Smoke :: Can't Dissolve Between Two Clips

Oct 25, 2011

I'm trying to add a dissolve on the timeline between two clips as I have many times before and one of them will not allow me to dissolve to or from it. It won't allow any dissolves at all actually.

Both are 1920x1080 10bit clips rendered out of action. Any attempts to put a dissolve on the cut ends up with it being only on the end-tag (the second clip). If it tell it to be centered it puts a one frame dissolve on the end-tag. If i tell it Up To Cut it does nothing. From Cut works as expected.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Copying Gap Effects On The Timeline?

Aug 24, 2011

It is possible to duplicate/copy a clip/gap effect on the timeline? Or do you *have to* drag/copy it to a Source Area first? In this particular case, I've got 3 gap effects that I'm essentially using as adjustment layers...for some reason I thought I could hold down F & drag them somewhere else in the timeline which would create a duplicate and drag them to wherever I dropped them. But maybe not...? In the meantime, I just copied them to a Source Area, and then dropped them back on the timeline where I needed them, which worked just fine.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Unrender Clips Before Archiving

May 14, 2013

I have a folder of clips that I'd like to unrender then archive so that I just end up archiving the metadata. I can't find a way to do this in Smoke 2013. When I choose archive links only the archive seems to be massive so my guess is it is still archiving rendered shots.

AutoDesk Smoke :: How To Select Clips On Timeline

Oct 30, 2012

I have got some questions:

1. How can I select many clips on the timeline? (I work with a Wacom tablet.) When I press the pen onto the tablet and move it, I can only pull the gap. In connect fx it works, when I hold cmd.

2. If I set markers in the timeline, is there a way to also see them in connect fx?

3.There is a function in Final Cut: When I I select a clip from the timeline and press "f" , I can go on working on its source clip in the viewer. Is there something similar in smoke? I cannot find the name for this function, so I cannot search for it in the keyboard shortcuts.

4. If I render something, is there a way that Smoke automatically copies the file (without copying the effects)? The reason for that question is: I applied timewarp to a clip, then I wanted to go on working on the clip in connect fx, but the length of the clip changed - it was shorter. When I went on working in action and put some lense flares and rendered it, everything was bended and looked weird. It looked great but I did not intend to do something like this.

The next questions are no real questions but rather problems.

5. When I work with audio (audio clip locked), I cannot really cut on the music, because 5a. sometimes the amplitudes do not match the music. An example: There is no amplitude, but the music goes on for 2 seconds. 5b. And when it is correct and I cut on the beat and render it, it is not sync anymore some moments later or when I restart smoke. (It only displaces 1 or 2 seconds from the sync.)

6. Since I have updated from pre-release 4 to pre-release 5, I cannot export anymore. I have read a lot on blogs, but I could not really find my problem. I cannot even press the export button.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Looping Clips In The Timeline

Feb 24, 2012

I was wondering if when I stop a looping clip playing in my timeline, I could have it stop at the frame I stop on instead of stopping at the positioner or in-point. This is a very vital problem I'm having.

I have come up with a work-a-round but it doesn't work near as smoothly as I would like it to.

All I do for the workaround is instead of hitting space when I stop, I hit right alt to set an in point then hit space to stop and "A" to move to my newly created in-point. But it doesn't work as smoothly as it should. I would really like it to perform like playing a clip in the desktop works. It just loops around and when I stop, it actually stops.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Fully RGBA Clips

Jul 12, 2012

is it hard for Autodesk to have/create fully RGBA clips (clips with embedded alpha).I'm not so sure what's the main advantage to have clip with separate matte (black & white), since all compositing software even FCP can handle it.

I found that this function a bit outdated n you end up doing lot of steps even to accomplish simple result.

AutoDesk Smoke :: How To Relink Or Get The Clips Inside CFX

Oct 21, 2012

I unarchived a 2013 Linux sequence.

I took all of the clips an unlinked them in 2013 Mac.

I then gathered the source material on to a new USB portable drive. I then went through a conform and relinked all fo the clips that aren't in a CFX.

I can't see how to relink or get the clips inside the CFX show up.

I dragged the clips from the Sources folder, and collected them into a new folder in my Media Library.

If I collect those "checkerboard" clips into a new sequence and look at it via the Conform tab, it shows that the clips are Linked, as parts of them were also in the main timeline.

AutoDesk Smoke :: How To Keep Sync With Clips That Have Audio

Apr 30, 2013

How is the best way to keep sync with clips that have audio. In Premiere for example, when a clip contains audio it handles both video and audio as a single thing until I explicitly unlink them. But in Smoke, even with the option Select linked, which as far as I can tell it only works for selecting and activate that little arrow (do not remember the name of the function) in the tracks table, keeps all ok but only on that track.

This is the normal operation of Smoke? He really will always treat the audio and video of same clip as separate things? Am I missing something? Because at least for me, that's came from Premiere, always be remembering to set all the tracks and always go to the menu and select Enable linked is what most complicates the editorial work in Smoke.

AutoDesk Smoke :: 2013 - All Video Clips Are Black?

Sep 19, 2012

Whenever we try to import video clips they show up as all black. The length of the video is there, so it might be 15 minutes of black. But no matter what video (Sony, Red, etc.) it's all the same.

We're running pre-release 3 on the latest iMac. As far as we know the graphics card is compatible.

AutoDesk Smoke :: How To Move Clips To Local Storage

Dec 1, 2011

I imported a Final Cut sequence via XML into Smoke. The media is 1080p25 ProRes 422 HQ and is located on our SAN. I need to do some green screen work. I have two clips and an Axis effect on the upper clip.

Adjusting the keyer and scrubbing that segment of the timeline is painfully slow so I want to copy just the two clips I am working on, to the local storage.

Is there a way to do this directly from the timeline? I only want what's in the timeline. Not the whole length of the original media.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Constraining Movement Of Clips In Timeline

May 1, 2013

I'm coming from a Symphony and FCP background. I do a lot of keying in the timeline when I'm finishing, so I'm often moving the green screen clip from track 1 to 2 and then putting the BG on the lower track. I'm used to being able to constrain the movement of the clip so that it doesn't slide around on the timeline and get out of sync when I move it. Does smoke have a hotkey for this? I've noticed if I hold shift, I get some indication of where Smoke is lining up the clip relative to other clips by some highlighting, but this does not constrain the clip I'm moving.
