AutoDesk Smoke :: Smoke And AJA Dual Stream Stereoscopic Output
Aug 29, 2013I 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.

Dec 6, 2012When applying CFX to the clip it ignores resolution of the project and the time line and creates a resolution of the whole CFX based on clip.
In other words 1080 clip in 720 timeline creates CFX with 1080 out node, ( all action creates in 1080 swell) and only then send 1080 output to timeline where it applying resize soft effect. I know i can change resolution of action, but a can't change resolution of output node ( the las node that feeds output to timeline.) Is there an easy way to work around to feed lets say 720 to escape resizing in timeline.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Freeze The Output Of CFX?
Feb 23, 2013i'm doing a composite and at the end i just want to use a single frame and freeze it for about 5 seconds. i used mux to do that. The problem is when i go back to the timeline , i have to render the whole 5 seconds. That doesn't make sense.
what i want to achieve is the mechanism like 'repeat' in desktop tool. Where i can just grab a single frame and repeat it to be 5 seconds and when i put it in the timeline then no need to render the whole 5 sec. It's just a still frame. So what is the best workflow when freezing inside cfx without spending too much time to render still frame?
AutoDesk Smoke :: View The Timeline Output?
Jul 25, 2012While in CFX, Action, Text edit, Axis etc, is there a way to see the output of the timeline? I know while in CFX you can set the CFX output as a context but what if I have multiple CFX composites stacked up and I want to see the final output of the timeline while editing or modifying something inside a CFX or Action node?

AutoDesk Smoke :: CFX Multiple Output Nodes
Jul 5, 2012What is the ability to add multiple output nodes in CFX as same as the way you can in flame.
The default / primary CFX output would link back to the timeline as usual, and then other outputs would render back to a selectable folder in your project library.
OR
Quite often you are creating alternate versions for your edit, so I thought a reasonably elegant solution to route the various version outputs back to the timeline would be to place them into a container.
So on your timeline, the outputs you processed in CFX appears as a container, with the default / primary output visible - inside the container are the various outputs you just rendered. Depending on focus in the container will give you your different version back in the timeline.
But I guess the only snag with this idea is that you can't edit CFX once they are inside of a container. So you would "Uncontain" - modify one of the outputs and then "Make Container" again for the sake of keeping the timeline clean and manageable.
AutoDesk Smoke :: How To Have CFX Node To Have Matte Output
Nov 19, 2012in 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 ?

Can i monitor my stereoscopic 3D 1080i50 workflow using a tv Samsung 3D c8000?
I have the line By line option in the tv, but when i set up smoke to be the same, the tv greys out the option. Maybe it support side By side only.
Is it possible to do the Dual Output option (left and right on two SDI) and use a converter, like AJA HI-5 3D, to obtain the side By side?
Or there is a setting i missed?

These obviously appear to be ok via the 'comp' option, but when I add all objects to output the matte, only the geometry appears in the output, with no sign whatsoever of flares and rays. I would imagine these are available as a choice as they do appear in the object choices. [Code]..

Jan 21, 2014This is not a YUV headroom issue just to be clear and Im not looking at a broadcast output. Using my Eizo monitor with smoke I just did a color correction and exported a prores 422 hq with and with out yuv headroom. What Im noticing is that the color of the image in the smokes viewer is more saturated than the output which is being viewd in qt 7 and whatever the other qt is. Im not talking fine details here, Im talking about whoa whats going on with this isnt remotley close to being in the same ballpark. In short when I tab over to the qt file and shrink it and place it side by side by what is in the smokes viewer they do not match on the same monitor.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoDesk Smoke :: Will 2013 Support Component Output
Feb 26, 2013I'm currently running Smoke 2011 on a Mac Pro and we are feeding a Professional Grade 58" Panasonic Plasma equipped with HDMI and Component connections. We are unfortunately limited to using only the HDMI connection because Smoke 2011 doesn't support component out. Using the HDMI connection means we're limited to a 60Hz refresh rate which, generates flickering cross fades, and strobing with fast moving video. The component connections allow us to utilize a 100Hz refresh rate which eliminates these issues. After a little research, I have learned that Panasonic does not make a professional grade plasma monitor that supports higher than 60Hz through HDMI.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Tape Output With BMD - Sync Drifts
Jan 31, 2014I recently switched from AJA K3 to a BMD Decklink HD Extreme.
Initial testing went reasonably well - working at 1080psf23.98 - output was solid, tape layoffs and captures were frame accurate on short tests.
I'm finishing up a long form 48 minute show, and the audio sync drifts over the course of the layoff. It's about 1 frame per 10 min of content.
By 47:30+00, my audio is 5 frames early during Tape Output - a sync pop is at 47:29+19 - but picture is spot on. Usually I'm working in short form TVCs, so I may have never noticed this - but it's definitely a problem for longer work.
To hit my delivery, I exported a ProRes QT, and laid off from FCP - kind of humiliating to have to depend on FCP for tape workflows.
I also had problems batch capturing from 1080i tape - it could do individual clips if I manually set ins and outs, but Batch Capture never cued up properly in 1080i - it kept rolling back and forth over the cue point, tried 10 times, then gives it up.
I've done this a hundred times with the AJA card and never had a problem - but the BMD is not nearly as solid... (Also performed the Batch Capture in FCP without issues - so the hardware and BMD software seem to be working fine - but not with Smoke.)

AutoDesk Smoke :: Laying Out Multiple Clips To Tape - Output To VTR
Apr 12, 2013Laying out multiple clips to tape from smoke 2013 (maybe in excess of 20 - 30 clips at one time) without having to 'ctrl/click' on each clip individually. In every previous edition of smoke I would be able to go to media library, highlight the folder with all the clips in and press 'output' and all clips would be taken to I/O menu. This is a must for multiple playouts to tape which some of us still have to do on a regular basis. AND don't get me started on having to re-timecode every clip individually because someone thought it a good idea to remove the 'step' (increment) timecode button.
And why if i use smoke2013 without the mac menu at the top do I not have an 'Output to' or 'Capture from' VTR menu.

View 8 Replies View RelatedAutoDesk Smoke :: Resize Output Of ConnectFX Node To Match The Sequence Size?
Jun 12, 2012I set up a sequence that is HD, but I have source material that is 2K (2560x1440). When I try to insert or overwrite said source clip to the sequence, it should insert and automatically add a resize node. Instead, it changes the sequence size to match the source size. Bug?
Also, I can't seem to find a way to resize the output of my connectFX node to match the sequence size. For example, lets say I want to comp a bunch of shots that are 2K in action, and then output an HD sequence matching my sequence size. How is this done? I have changed the comp size in action and linked that to the connectfx node, but it just puts the smaller comp size in a black box which is the size of the source material (in this case, 2K).

I don't see a similar selection tool function in Smoke, but I imagine you could achieve the same effect by duplicating a layer and using a Gmask via the Wipe timeline FX.does Smoke not have a selection tool similar to Combustion?
