how can i do this in Smoke. I can't find any option to turn the capability on. is it available ? i want to be able to edit gmask in context , after the transform is applied to the gmask. can i do this ?
View 9 RepliesI am trying to paint out a logo on a bottle with the clone paint tool, then have what I have painted over track/scale as the bottle zooms in during the shot. I think I am supposed to be using the Gmask to get the geometry of the track done (as I can do this with a matte if I want that to cover the logo with a blur or gradient or something else), but I am uncertain how to link the Gmask track node to the paint node in the correct way.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'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 RelatedI draw a spline (gmask) and when it overlap itself, it will cut a hole. Can we change this kind of setting? I know it's already like this from the beginning but honestly what is the BIG reason to have this behavior ?
Also in gmask node, how to delete multiple spline without going to gmask schematic ? why can't just simply select multiple spline icon and press 'del' ?
Is it possible in Smack 2013 to feather only a section of a GMask? I have cut out the sky with a GMask in a shot and need to blend the matte only in a particular section.

How can I adjust this?
Is there a way to create premade shapes with a GMask? A perfect circle, or a triangle, for example.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn certain applications you are offered the option to snap the tangents at 45 degrees angles as you hold down a hotkey. Does this option exist in Smoke?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI didnt see an auto adjust option in the gmask node, I can always use the hot key (classic smoke not FCP7 ha!) but I think its a nice feature to not have hidden.
Also having the context button in plain site not a right click would be nice too. Not a fan of the right click anything being a long time user of smoke and flame.
I'll be tweeking my gmask on frame 1. (Autokey is not select) then I move my gmask to frame 19, make an adjustment, and keframe from 1 to 19 is set. I just want to change the whole gmask? how to adjust the mask points globally? (something like the uber key in mocha) that way I can scrub thru my timeline, adjust my mask, and it changes the shape for the entire time, but does not add a keyframe?
also, I have my mask moving in. and points keyframes. I find that I need to move the animtion back 2 frames, how do you adjust the timing of keyframes in gmask?
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 ?

Also, i tried to pick multiple spline using animation editor but when turn 'on' the 'constant shape' , it only apply to single spline.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI drew a Gmask with 4 points and broke the handles. My questions is:
1. How do I know when 2 or more points are exactly on the same vertical or horizontal line?
2. How do i get them to align?
3. How do I move 2 or more points together? (Control select and drag)?
I have more than 50 geometries in my Gmask module, now I want to change all color to 0. Select all geometry and change the value doesn't work. I know I can always invert it in the next node, but I just wonder if there's any button that I missed.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen i RMB in cfx , i have 'set context'. How to set context by manually select 1 or 2 ? i don't feel to have full control on this function. Why don't the RMB give the 'set context 1' and 'set context 2' ??? i have problem to set the context index, for example if there's already a C1 in my schematic then the next set context will put me on C2. If i want it to be C1, then i have to find first where the C1 is, then turn it off, then i can use slot1 (C1). Is there anyway i can straight to set whether i want the context to be 1 or 2 ? again it should be easily design into contextual (RMB) menu by put both option there.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAt 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.

You can watch the video on the Smoke Learning Channel on Youtube URL....It will also be available on iTunes in a short time.Please note that this is one scenario where the sync locks will work. They also function when trimming a cut when all the cuts line up.

Whenever I do a couple of editing functions with smoke, all of a sudden things freeze up as I see the multi color spinning wheel appear on the Mac, thus causing me to do a force shut down.
Do I need to upgrade the Mac, operating software or?
I am doing some tests for an edit job I would like to use Smoke for tomorrow.
Some of the test footage appears to have been shot at 1440 x 1080 and appears squashed on my 1920x1080 sequence.
I see there is a resize option that can be applied to footage.
Does this resize effect have to be rendered before becoming visible?
The reason I ask is because in Avid when you work with this footage via AMA there is no need to perform a resize and therefore is very quick to start cutting with.
Having to resize and render a huge bin of rushes would take a long time and I assume would move the media into Smokes storage folder (creating new media and taking lots of space).
This leads to another general smoke question, can it do realtime effects. Again Avid can handle tons of these and makes for a speedy edit. If everything has to be rendered in Smoke before you can playback realtime then it makes me think that Smoke should be used as less of an everyday editor.
I have seen a number people new to smoke get confused when trying to edit mono audio source to a stereo track only to find the audio doesn't doesn't appear.
How about a preference that automatically splits the mono audio so that it edits to the stereo track?
If it was on by default it would definitely be of less confusion to new users
Or perhaps a dialogue box explaining why the edit did not work due to the differing audio properties.
Great work with getting smoke to where it is!

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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there any way that Smoke can see/output sub-blacks and super whites? Can't find any way of seeing them on my scope, Smoke just clamps everything. It won't even see anything below zero in order for me to make a correction on it, everything seems to be clamped on import. I'm using ProRes HQ footage.

1. If I have a layered Photoshop file or png with an alpha channel (a still frame lower third), I see that I can import it as a multi layered clip, but what is the best way to have it in the sequence to show up properly?
2. If I have a QuickTime in animation format or Pro Res4444 format with an embedded alpha, how can I import that file to show and cut it on a top layer to animate above my video?
Can Smoke support the OFX architecture?
