I have a new project coming up.At the beginning, everything is supposed to be in a black and white world, just the product is supposed to be colored. And everywhere, where you place the product, the surroundings become colored too (as if being washed over with color). I already started playing around, but the result is not yet satisfying.

Is there a hotkey to add/edit a soft effect?
I know that the Euphonix panel we have has an edit soft effect button. But it doesn't add the effect as well. (plus you have to hit the "NAV" button to make it accessible)
Does this function already exist?

Or will you be able to drag and drop to re-arrange the processing order in the effect bar in future releases?
I 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:
Sep 09 20:33:33 : No shader unit for shader (null).
Sep 09 20:33:33 : Assertion failed: (_curUnit), function shaderUnit* shaderUnits::getCurrentUnit() const, file develop/src/libcoreGraphics/shaderMgr.C, line 378.

The footage that i'm using is SD PAL, in DV format (.mov) files, captured through firewire through Premiere CS6. Is it a problem of the footage? GPU? or am i missing something?
My computer specs are (i'm on a hackintosh for now...):
Smoke 2013 ext1 (Eduactional version)
Snow Leopard 10.6.8
Intel Quad Core Q9300
GPU NVIDIA 9800GT 1GB
4GB RAM
System is installed on a 500GB SATA drive , and media storage folder of smoke is placed on a 150GB Raptor disk.
This has happened repeatedly for me, importing a slate with soft text from 2012 corrupts my default library. I get-
"The following bins are corrupted: Default Library Choose recover or hit the Enter key to try and recover a backup version of the bins."
Recovering fails and I'm forced to hit cancel which let's me into the project with my media gone.
I have two lights in action. One spot with falloff and spread and one directional.
The directional light only show an effect on the text if I rotate it, but moving it along the Y-axis perpendicular to the text shows no changing effect.
I'm looking for an easy way to get a simple page fold effect on a 2D Logo. I'm playing around here in Axis with the surface set to Bicubic but I'm moving around the corners and handles and can't really achieve a realistic look. Is there something like page fold in the Avid where you can adjust the fold radius and it simply works....?

View 3 Replies View Relatedhow can we create freeze frame like we do in FCP. i tried with Command U but that comes with audio and when i stretch on time line it gives handles. where in FCP when i create freeze frame it is like a still frame of JPG or any other file. when i stretch it just increase the duration of the still file.
Secondly if i did chroma key in FCP and i take the freeze frame of the clip, it creates the freeze with matte(alfa or transparent). how can we create that?
I have a sequence contain couple of clips/cuts. I then create a container and save the container in the desktop. What i want to do is to make this container as a 'master' clip so every time i put it into a new sequence, it will create an instance of the master clip. This means everytime i edit the master clip (change edit /trim etc), it will reflect immediatelly in all the instances. Is it possible ? The current implementation, i can only duplicate/copy which then they become disconnected from the 'master' clip. Do i have that options ? This is handy when i want to have managed control of that container.

View 9 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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a bunch of shots in which I have to place layers of smoke in z-depth. I found out that there is a plugin system for Nuke called YUVSOFT which does this but the company will not release their plugins for small market jobs. The depth maps don't have to be anything special or perfect. I just don't want to have to spend days and days rotoing out a 30 or 40 layers per shot with Mocha. Will the Motion Analysis node create the vectors to assist in depth map creation?

The problem that as soon as i choose 'colour source', for whatever reason.... the background (desktop) become darker, so whatever i pick from background will be invalid color.
