Anytime I drag a Cc node from the bin to the CFX schematic it disappears for about 6 seconds and I get the spinning beach ball and the system freezes for that period. It then appears on the schematic and can be used.
View 3 RepliesHow to do it ? in cfx , alt-ctrl-drag will work fine, but not in mk. I'm using fcp hotkey so i can't use alt-cmd as it's used to zoom by default. Using fcp hotkey has the same problem ? i created couple new user but they don't work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn the mk the final output has to be sent to the 'result' node. The weird thing why this node has 3 input ( fg , bg ,matte ) ? the single stream of the matte should make it work. Is there any good explaination ? In what condition we need to connect all the output ? if i connect the fg to other image/clip then when we go back to action, the fg of the related layer will be replaced. But why we want to replace the fg using mk?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn Ken LaRue's demo (see attachment B), theres a lot more option for you to tinker with in CFX.mine (see attachment A) only stops at 'timing' option. what do i need to do to view the rest of it?
and because i cant view the rest of the option, i can't change CFX schematic view to Action schematic view.
i can import the .psd using mediahub or desktop import or in action bin, i can use 'import' node. But i want to spot importing psd file directly from cfx schematic using 'read file' node in I/O tab. I will get one single file . I believe this node is containing multiple information (channels/layers). How can i extract the layers from that node ? how can i make this node usable since i can't make any connection to other node. Like in Nuke , there's a node named 'shuffle' which can extract or pull out a selected channel/layers from a single node. How to do this in cfx schematic ?
Talking about 'shuffle' node in Nuke. Is there any node similar to that? so the node not only can pull/extract channels but also can 'shuffle' or re-pipe the channel . For example pipe chan Red to chan Green, or Alpha to Red etc. What is the best way to do this ? do i have to use CC module ? any similar node in cfx schematic level?
I'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?
View 1 Replies View Relatedwhen i select the clip in cfx schematic, how to tell which clip is it inside the timing editor ? there's only small thumbnail and this won't work when i got multiple sama clips on the cfx schematic, the thumbnail will look the same. There has to be a visual relationship between the two areas.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI go to mk, connect my clip to a gmask , double click gmask to focus to that module. I switch to 2 viewport. The left is the schematic, the right is the F1 (front). First when i click the F1 viewport, i got no 'add' button for adding gmask. So i have to first go to view pulldown, just do some unecessary click there to refresh. Now after refreshing, i can see my 'add' button is showed up. But the second problem is : i can't immediately press that 'add' button, there's a lag about 5- 7 seconds before i can click that button.
Also i can switch from mk schematic to f1 or f4 quite fast, but sometime go from any of front/back/matte view back to the mk schematic, it will take 4-7 second even for simple/basic mk network/tree.
The problem won't appear when using single viewport.
In 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.
Smoke classic shortcut is not working for Schematic vuew in CF, tried on three machines. Also why there is short cat for all "delete" "add" but not just plain move anymore. space M is not working. What's the logic?
View 2 Replies View RelatedJust playing with actions multiple outputs. Have added a matte output successfully but can't find the 'edit output' option to add objects from the schematic to the object list, even if I add all I am then seeing unexpected behaviour using the different blend modes. Is this operator error (it wouldn't be the first time...)?

My main usage of Desktop paint is partially sharpening important parts of the picture that the focus puller unfortunately missed. I would love to see sharpening added to the tools in CFX Paint. Blur is there already, should not be the hardest thing to implement.

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.

in cfx schematic , i got an action network, i set this action so it can output the comp and also the matte (the node got 2 output indicator : yellow and blue). Now if i right click and choose 'create cfx' , i will get a new cfx node , but i only output the final comp , there's no matte. In the pref, activate the 'generate alpha' will only output either white or black. Is this feature not avalable yet ?
View 5 Replies View Relatedcan i collect multiple nodes and collapsed them into a single node (group) and export it as a single new node (custom node ) where then i can add or expose/hide any original parameter as well as creating my custom (new) parameter or button where the button will be controlled by expression (python or similar) to do custom task. It's like in Sidefx houdini and foundry Nuke (pure node based app). can i do this in smoke.
