I'm trying to transfer my Smoke 2013 License from one system to another and can not start up the LUT utility to do the transfer process. Can I uninstall Smoke 2013 and reinstall it to make that happen?

I just loaded an Action setup made in 2012 to 2013R1 and everything is fine except that the Gmasks I did appear on the Keyer inside a layer but those are transparent. I mean I cant change the colour.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI cannot start "Backburner Server." I restarted my Mac a couple time but never can change the red light.
Mac Pro (Early 2008) with Mac OS Mountain Lion 10.8.2
AJA KONA 3G
RED Rocket (Driver ... v1.4.32 & Firmware ... v1.1.16.11)
Every time I try to connect to adobe.com I always arrive on the Autodesk Tool with Backburner and WiretapCentral page.
I can used each browser I own it still the same. I try to flush cookies everywhere and it's the same.
It looks like the page adobe.com (YES) is redirect to a local page from Autodesk.(only [URL])
I try to do the same in an other user account on my mac, and it is the same.
So I look in the activity monitor to locate if an Autodesk thing is on. I isolate BackburnerManager and BackburnerServer, on. (Smoke is off)I tried to hard quit them but I couldn't
So I've installed Smoke for Mac 2013.2 on my macbook and everything has been working great up until a day ago. Now when I go to localhost/ backburner no servers show up. When I try to import something into smoke with cache media enabled, I get the error "Cannot connect to backburner manager 'localhost' on port 0" Also my Backburner Manager seems to be stopped in the service monitor and everytime I restart it, it shuts back off again.
What I've tried
Going through "mikes_backburner_guide.pdf" and a few others to get the networking right. Uninstalling and reinstalling smoke 2013 multiple times and restarting my computer many, many times.
Running PR 5 and I'm getting an error message that says "no backburner server with adaptor. media converter 2013.1.0 on manager tdricander"

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running Smoke 2012 on a fully loaded MBP. I'm having problems exporting QTs. Constantly get this error:
Cannot get local IFFFS wiretap server's storage id: Connection refused.
I have to do a full power cycle, then maybe it will work. This used to be an occasional occurrence, but now happens almost every time, unless I've only just powered up. Once Smoke has been running for a few minutes, forgetaboutit. I never have this problem when I can use the Export button; but this button is greyed out when QT is selected, which means it has to be dropped into the queue, then exported from the background page. Perhaps this is where the issue lies.

I've noticed my Camera Raw plugin is outdated, but when I try to update it through Photoshop I always get the above message. Updates obtained directly from the Adobe website don't seem to include plugins. Is there a way to either make the server respond or obtain the updated plugin from another source? Am I even on the right track for enabling Content-Aware Fill?

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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes Smoke have selection functionality similar to that of Combustion? As an example, you might want to selectively blur part of an image. In Combustion, you would draw a selection and then apply an operator above the selection to achieve this. 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?

I tried Smoke 2013 PR2 on my MacBook Air 11".
It uses all the available RAM that is 4GB.
Same experience with Smoke 2012 on my MacBook pro 13"".
Is that normal?
I have RED footage which I exported as EXR. When I import them back in, they look exactly like the RED footage. But when I import the EXR in Fusion, export it back out, and then import that EXR into Smoke, it looks brighter, although I didn't change anything in Fusion. (when I compare the EXR from Smoke and the EXR from fusion in my finder on my desktop, they look exactly the same). So what is Smoke doing with the "foreign" exr on import?I was also playing with the LUT settings. I get a result which is close, but I need to be exact.

I converted the h.264 files to uncompressed 10bit. Bringing in the footage and XML was fine, but as soon as I resize to PAL (the timeline was changed to PAL, as was the output on the AJA) the picture starts anti aliasing in detail areas. I have processed this with every filter in Smoke with no satisfactory result.
I am having issues for a long time regarding importing XML into smoke 2013. Will try and explain you in breif.
First When we try an import XML into smoke it just doesnt do anything, in the message history box it comes up saying FOUND 0 SOURCES.
Nothing gets imported at all. No footage is imported, nothing is shown in timeline as well.
Second For a different project when the XML does get imported, the videos get imported but then again nothing is coming up in the timeline and in the message history box we get the following error.
XML Validation Failed.
Cannot process unliked media.
we have checked all the import options to make this work, including max up level and the rest but nothing is working.
