After archiving out of 2012 SP3 and then un-unarchiving into 2012 SAP2 SP3, could i edit clips (with history)? For example, action-rendered clips, flame fx-rendered clips, etc.
2012 SAP2 SP3
10.6.7
Kona 3G driver 10.3.2
Quadro 4000 driver 256.01.00f03
Cuda driver 4.2.10
Mac Pro (mid 2010)
12 Cores / 24 Gigs
CalDigit HD Pro2 (8TB, 723 MB/sec read)
Our tech guys installed 2012 late last year, but suddenly all the 2011 projects are gone. But they still come up on WTC and the ManagedFolder's still fat. Any chance of recovery?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI need to move projects and clips from an old system drive (restored from system crash, unbootable) to a new install on a new disk.
Is there a "best practice" for moving projects?
It looks like this
Disk1 (old)
/usr/discreet/clip/stonefs7/old projects
/usr/discreet/project/old projects
Disk2 (new)
/usr/discreet/clip/stonefs7/
/usr/discreet/project/
Is it possible, on a Finder level, to move project information (like sequences) between machines using Finder? After my current Smoke install has self-destructed without any fix from Autodesk, I need to retreive my work in progress.
I've tried copying the folder from /usr/discreet/project/ into the same location of another system with the same release version but it does not appear in either the launch screen or Media Hub.Can I replace the entire /discreet/ folder with the one from my crashed system to get the project back?
I know we are a little behind the times, but when upgrading to Ex1, will all of the existing projects still be usable? Or do we need to "Wipe 'em All"?

That would suck for me cause my animator does not use Autodesk software. I have an obj with the material jpegs but can't seem to find find the proper wrap mode that makes it all come together. Maybe FBX is a better option.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAny time the gateway scans a directory, which has a clip that has stereo audio, Smoke hangs. Is this a bug? Specifically the file was a Canon 7D file which had audio recorded with it. The crash does not happen when we try a file without audio or a file whose audio has been converted to mono. The file was directly from the camera. Same thing happens when it is a Prores HQ file with Stereo audio.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have recently upgraded to Smoke 2012 sp2 and have a small issue regarding the reordering of my clips in the source area.
On 2011 when you placed clips in the source area in a specific order and saved it to the library and when you recalled it from the library it would put the clips back in exactly the same place you left them. Now in 2012 when you do that it re-orders them in some sort of chronological order.
Is there a setting that I'm not aware of that will stop doing that as I place them in a specific structure which makes sense to me and is easy to find and understand on large builds, now I'm having to sift through the clips and waste time finding what I did last and checking through versions to find the latest one.
I just installed my Smoke2013 SP2 yesterday, and today I want to restore my project. From Mr. Grant Kay tutorial, I saw there's restore button once he double click the restore folder. But I can't see that Restore button.
I attach the snapshot of mine.
I have a clip that play perfectly fine in my timeline. When I export it, either as a Quicktime or image sequence, the playback stutters every few seconds; basically it double prints a frame every few seconds or something. It's extremely annoying and preventing me from a client delivery in the morning.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to get Smoke 2012 SP1 running on Mac OS X 10.7.2. After installation, I cannot get the application to launch -- instead I get a "DlVideo Error: No video list" error and then exit.
Hardware specs are attached, in short 2 x 6 core Mac Pro, 24GB RAM, Quadro FX 4800 and Kona 3G. This is built on a clean install of 10.7.2 using the Apple video driver for the 4800. The display is an Eizo ColorEdge CG303W, attached to the 4800.
I would like to install the 4.1.28 CUDA drivers to enable the Mercury playback engine (as this machine will probably also run Premiere Pro), however I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible until I can get Smoke running.
A Euphonix MC Transport and MC Color will be added to the station, however they are not currently attached.
My workstation name is bc118-s001. I'm using an external license server (macnv3), which is running properly.
Storage is currently set to the local disk, which I know is sub-optimal. Ultimately the storage volume will be a fiber-attached TerraBlock 24D, however I'm upgrading that device from 4.6.4 to 5 before I put the unit into production, and would rather not store any data on it before the upgrade.
I've attached the application and shell logs for your reference. The following lines are only the errors from the app.log:

I notice that the monitor refresh rate is not being detected properly, however the OS seems to detect it properly.

Relink Multiple Media Files
Ok, so it seems that Smoke can only relink one file at a time.
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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat I don't get is when it says "navigate to the project that contains the clips you want to copy." Does that refer to /usr/discreet/project/<project name>? Because when I navigate to there, I don't see any media to import.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI hit render early in the am to ship out a project for delivery. And in classic Johnny Fegan fashion my mac pro crashes, and won't boot. So my next step is to start the mac in Target Disk mode, via firewire(probably the second worst thing that has happened to me, firewire) and started to backup everything. Due to the fast turn around on the Project, I never had a chance to archive the project.
My current working config(on the mac pro that died) was an internal raid0, and a pci express ssd. The raid is where I keep my local Autodesk Media Storage folder, and the ssd is my system drive(/usr/discreet). I just completed a back up of both folders to my secondary mac pro, with a license of smoke installed, and am trying to open my project on it. I set the backup copy of my old Autodesk Media Storage folder up to be used under the Smoke setup utility, and when I access it in smoke the only option I get is to create a new project.
Is there a way to get this project back online?
I was wondering if it's possible to archive Smoke projects via command line as it would be so much convenient.
If so I could create a shell script with my project and library names and just leave it running overnight project after project. Is this possible? Or command line works only for un archiving?
I'm wanting to work on my laptop at home, and my machine at work. I have an external tunderbold SSD array that I want to use. How would I set smoke to save projects to the external drive? Whats the best work flow for this?
