Nov 16, 20121) Is there a way to hide all axis icons in Action apart from selected ones? Even though they turn grey it's often very hard to see the selected one in big comps.
2) In HD text module how can I see the full picture? While postioning text I can't see the bottom of the picture on either the preview monitor or the broadcast monitor.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoDesk Smoke :: Grab 1 Frame Inside CFX Schematic
Dec 20, 2012In cfx, i have a source clip which i want to grab just 1 frame of it. So what is the best way to do it in term of efficiency ?
If i'm in timeline editing outside cfx then i can use alt-E and drag the clip to have a 1 frame copy. It's cool but how to do the same thing inside cfx ? i want to do it inside cfx schematic. Actually I can use a timewarp node or mux or maybe there's some other node that can do the same function. But is it gonna affect the speed of the whole tree ?
i'm comparing the two scenarios :
1. i did 1 frame grab in the editing then bring it into cfx
2. i bring the full source clip inside cfx and apply timewarp to get 1 frame to work with.
Is there gonna be different in speed ? if only single clip , i won't see any different. What i want to know : what is happening internally ? does the second scenario will eat up more processing ? If yes, then we need to feature to extract 1 frame inside cfx (just like in editing).
As an addition, in media bin, when i'm in editing module (outside cfx) , i can ctrl-E (cursor change to red icon) to grab 1 frame . But when i go to cfx then it won't work. ctrl-E in media bin won't do anything. It will be great to have that feature in cfx.
AutoDesk Smoke :: Motion Blur In Axis?
Jan 3, 2012Is there any way to turn on motion blur in Axis on the time line like you can in Action?
I looked in setup and it doesn't seem to be there, hoping I'm just missing something and I don't have to hall this text into action and back each time it gets updated.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Add Axis In GMASK Schematic
Mar 28, 2013I'm in CFX in the Modilar Keyer. I loaded a setup previously with GMASKs previously applied on a HD shot. I now need to scale the GMASK for a 4K HD shot (200%). I was told to go in the GMASK schematic (the one that looks like action) and add a parent axis to move all the masks at once. WHen I'm in GMASK schematics I don't have access to a node bin. Where do I add an AXIS to parent all my masks in there?

Aug 14, 2012I'm working with 1080i50 footage. Interlaced, upper field (F1). When I apply an Axis effect to a clip in the timeline an render that, the result is wrong.
I'm not sure what exactly it is. Either the fields are inverted or somehow 'melted' into one frame. In the Axis editor the Interlaced/Progressive switch is set to Interlaced. If I set it to Progressive the rendered result is ok.
AutoDesk Smoke :: Make PIP In Timeline With Axis
Aug 29, 2012I'm trying to make a PIP in a timeline with Axis. PIP is a easy thing so I made it of course.
But the problem is When I use multiple PIPs. There's no Global axis like in Action, so I couldn't control PIPs at once. I thought make a Gap effect with axis or Container would be work, but It didn't work as I thought.
Do I have to make a mask for PIP? Is there any way to move, rotate, scale them together easily? & Axis could have only one image? In animation view, there's a Global axis and a image axis.
AutoDesk Smoke :: Best Way To Do Backward Offset Tracking
Dec 27, 2012the most annoying thing in smoke is doing backward offset-tracking. How to do it the right way ? it seems to be too complicated than it should be. In Nuke i ussually can track from any frame and can offset the reference to any pattern at any frame freely. I can't find something like that in Smoke. One solution is reverse the clip first, but that's not always the solution.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoDesk Smoke :: Timeline Axis Blend Modes
Jul 10, 2012It would be nice to have the full set of blend modes available to the AXIS tool in the timeline.
Quite often the most used blend modes for quick color treatments....Overlay, Hard Light and Soft Light etc...are not available in the timeline AXIS soft effect.
Is this a limitation of the soft effect as opposed to using ACTION or say Blend&Comp nodes?
New users would probably not find where the extra layer blend modes where, and may simply think that Smoke lacks these most used blend modes.
AutoDesk Smoke :: How To Time Offset Network In ConnectFX
Nov 18, 2012does smoke have a feature to do 'time offsetting' ? in connect fx (not in action), i have a clip and applied some fx node like blur , CC etc. Now i want to offset or slip the network (media and fx nodes), so not only the media but also all the keyframes from all the fx node. Can i do this ? i use foundry Nuke where this can be done easily. How about in smoke ? So maybe like attaching a 'timeoffset' node to the network.

Nov 8, 2013The GUI and broadcast monitors in all 3 of our Smokes (Mac) are out of sync by 2 frames.

AutoDesk Smoke :: 2013 Ext1 Crashes While Applying Axis Effect
Sep 10, 2013I have a problem everytime i apply the axis effect on a clip in the timeline. What happens is that smoke starts loading the effect, but hangs there, and after a while a message comes up saying that due to a software error smoke must close. But the only way to close it, is only if i do force quit process through terminal. Everything else works really well though, besides this specific issue with axis effect. This by the way didn't happen with Smoke 2013 SP2, maybe a hardware compatibility issue?
here is the smoke log file from console:

Feb 16, 2012I have a 10 sec clip that I want to track. It's a girl driving on her bike a long a street. The camera is always parallel to her, so that the scene behind her keeps on changing. How can I track such a shot? I know, that if I want to track something going off screen, I have to jump to the last frame and adjust the tracker, but this clip is just too long, to just place the tracker at the very last frame (almost randomly).
