When I park on a frame in the timeline, using the hotkey MarkOut places the outpoint 1 frame later in the sequence. The same thing happens when using the MarkOut button.
View 4 RepliesIs it my imagination or did smoke use to do this:
Enter a time code simply by starting to type using the keypad. The period (dot) key should give you 00.
This works if you click on the clip time code, but if I just start to type using the keypad, I get a hash before the frame number instead of a : and on hitting enter nothing happens.

I just moved Smoke from an office to my house. Have different IPs in both places. I understand that I need to change the IP on two places: the "hosts" file and on the license itself. Where can I find these files?

1. i can't snap to cue mark. When having a lot of cue mark and long duration of edit. I have to really zoom in to frame level to be able to place my positioner at the exact frame to delete cue mark. What if for example , i have to delete 30 cue mark ? Snap will be handy to place positioner to delete cue mark.
2. Is it possible in smoke to place/add cue mark at a selected clip ? right now i can only place it at timeline , not at the clip.
I was trying to use the guides to make a triangle and everything was fine until I used a third guide on one of the triangles points (2 guides; 1 at 90 degrees and 1 at 60 degrees). When I used the dimension tool on it to measure from the bottom of the page to that point, the measurement did not match the numbers in the 90 degree guide's info. It was like .0000007 or .00000007 inches off. I know that's not much but I really needed precision for my particular drawing and I dont know how to get more accurate measurements with the program rounding to the nearest 6th decimal place (the highest setting on drawing precision). If it says it's centered in the intersection, then why do I see a tiny micro right triangle when I zoom in?

Is there a Repeat Frame hot key? Or a faster way to get a repeat frame other than in the tool menu?
View 8 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?
Is there a way or a keyboard shortcut to generate a freeze frame from a frame in the timeline?

I use pr5. I got a clip (.mov with audio) and imported the clip and enable the cache source media so it will be transcoded into stone. Now after i edit the clip into the timeline , i want to reveal the master clip. so i select the clip and the audio as well (sync) and try to do match frame (F key). I got new clip reveal in my desktop but only the video, it got no audio. How to get the audio back from the original source ? why the match-frame is ignoring the audio ? so far i have to do silly steps by re edit the source clip back to the timeline to pair back with the audio. is this a bug ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've tried Match Source, Match Content and Match Frame and while they do different stuff, none of them are doing what I'm expecting.
To be clear, if I organize my clips into bins for an edit, I'm hoping to hit match on a cut sequence and the Smoke will take me to that clip in the media panel, and then I would be able to look through alternate takes of the same shot. It's more useful to me for finding similar sources than making a copy of the source which is already in the timeline.
I'm painting a sequence, about 40 frames. I paint 1st round, exit paint, check it, then paint again on the painted seq.
After 4-5 rounds, the painted seq appears darker than the original sequence.
I tried using the frame rate tool and it does convert the frame rate to 25 fps but the length of the clip (in this case it should be :15) isn't changing. I'm not sure what the correct workflow would be in Smoke to do this conversion.
View 1 Replies View Relatedthe possibility of displaying a random frame from the timeline in one of the views. Pure luxury if this was wipeable over the result! A lot of people ask for lustre, I would be happy enough with that "wipe" at the moment. CFX works fine for grading, but without reference..How are you dealing with this, is there a "secret button"?

I'm in thumbnail view (desktop) and i want to create a single coloured frame (right click and select new/colour source). i want to choose color by picking up from a clip in my desktop. 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.

I have a single frame clip in my library, i want to put this clip into my timeline and i want it to be 10 seconds. I can just easily in/out in timeline and 'overwrite'. i don't like where i'm repeating a single frame and then still need to render it as 10 seconds clip.
This should be done like 'repeat' in the desktop tools. So in timeline when doing 'overwrite' , Smoke has to be smart to detect 1 frame edit so it just need to 'repeat' it not to 'timewarp' it.
And the another BAD thing , i can't have 'repeat' tool inside cfx . why ? so have to repeat the clip outside the cfx and go back into cfx.
Is there a match frame function for Smoke on Mac 2013 ?
View 5 Replies View RelatedIn 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.
I have a QT at 14.97 fps. By default Smoke imports it as 25 fps and so changes the duration.
Can I either import it without changing duration or change once it's in?
How do I center a piece of text generated with the 'Text' tool in the tools tab on Smac 2013 - I know how to centre it with the text pane, but how do I center the text within my entire frame ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedJust spent about 4 hours working on a cfx in a timeline then came back and discovered the clip it was linked to had disappeared from the timeline. Luckily I'd been saving setups along the way. But when I reload the setup, all I see are black frames with red text underneath as my sources. It's all copies of the file the connectfx was originally attached to, and the new clip name and length is the same, but somehow smoke doesn't know to connect them in the same way. Each of these clips were locked on a particular frame which I then had a paint node attached to (trying to paint up individual clean plates). I can replace each of the clip nodes manually, but how do I see which frame it was locked on originally?

I was wondering, is there no more option to simply create a colored frame like you were able to in smac 2012 (without having to create a cfx or go into paint)? Or maybe I just haven't found it...
