AutoDesk Smoke :: Open As Sequence - Any Source Isn't Loading

Jul 9, 2012

I opened 33 sources as "open as Sequence" behind each other and after doing that double clicking on the source or any source isn't loading it into the source viewer. There is no icon next to the source indicating that it isn't a source. After the fourth selection was open as Sequence. the one that was opened as the first is recycled and the Sequence Icon disappears from in-front of it. So there is only four icons at any given time in the list.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Loading Media Back In Same Position It Was Saved

Apr 12, 2013

In old versions of smoke when I load a source area back to my desktop I am able to select whether I want my clips 'tiled' 'stacked' or loaded back to 'saved position'. Where has this option gone in 2013. I have made a project put all my artwork into a source area in a nice logical way then wired this source area to another project and it just tiles my clips.

I am just missing the dropdown menu somewhere that allows me to leave it as it was originally saved!

AutoDesk Smoke :: MK Schematic And Slow Response In Viewer

Nov 30, 2012

I go to mk, connect my clip to a gmask , double click gmask to focus to that module. I switch to 2 viewport. The left is the schematic, the right is the F1 (front). First when i click the F1 viewport, i got no 'add' button for adding gmask. So i have to first go to view pulldown, just do some unecessary click there to refresh. Now after refreshing, i can see my 'add' button is showed up. But the second problem is : i can't immediately press that 'add' button, there's a lag about 5- 7 seconds before i can click that button.

Also i can switch from mk schematic to f1 or f4 quite fast, but sometime go from any of front/back/matte view back to the mk schematic, it will take 4-7 second even for simple/basic mk network/tree.

The problem won't appear when using single viewport.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Can't Find Old Project

Feb 10, 2013

I had to uninstall Smoke earlier to attempt to get the export function working. In doing so I had to run this line of code in the terminal: sudo rm -rf /usr/discreet/

When i reinstalled and eventually got it working again Smoke didn't see the project i had spent a day working on.

Is it possible Smoke deleted my project when i ran the line of code or uninstalled?

AutoDesk Smoke :: Saving Project In CFX

Jun 25, 2013

I just spent the last couple of hours programming 28 stills with edges in CFX.  I phsically clicked on save project repeatedly in those hours, especially once I hit a MAJOR milestone. I added a shadow cast node in action and my system locked up.  I was forced to force quit.  When I reopened my project, I found that I lost a couple of hours worth of work.  In the months going on year of using this editor, I find that smoke 2013 is very well intentioned, but seriously lacking in very basic functionality.  Putting out a product that is touted as a powerful editor that doesn't have a audio cross-fade node (lost in EXT version), can't add a simple outline to a clip with a button click (the reason I spent hours adding a hard shadow and changing layer priority for each of the 28 clips and finally and MOST importantly, saving EACH AND EVERY TIME the editor clicks save to completion is simply doing a diservice to a quality product. when a person clicks file-save project, the project should save fully.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Change The Menu Item Quick Off To Slow Off

Sep 16, 2012

Change the menu item Quick off to Slow off.

See attached. It now take 4 pen actions to get the safe titles overlay on and off. And before it was one pen movement. So before it was aptly named quick off. Now you should rename it. Slow off. Or "waste of time" something that matches function.

I vote for reinstating the quick off operation from 2012. And I checked, there is no quick off in the hotkey editor, so I can't streamline the usage with a user key.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Won't See Project On External Drive

Jul 15, 2013

I have Smoke (same version) running on two seperate Macs. Each Mac has an external thunderbolt drive for the media storage.
 
I worked on my project at home on Mac #1, and assumed I could bring in my external drive and use it with Mac #2.
 
When I try to add my drive from home to Mac #2, it creates ManagedFolder1. Which of course doesn't have my project in it- my project is on ManagedFolder0.
 
I suppose this may be caused by the fact I already have a ManagedFolder0 on a different external drive for this Mac, right? So I removed that drive, assuming I could then re-add the drive from home and allow access to the 2nd ManagedFolder0 with my project.

It just shows my old projects from the other drive still, but everything is broken inside of them. This makes sense as the drive is disconnected.

AutoDesk Smoke :: How To Share The Project Files

Jan 4, 2013

What's the easiest way to send a project to a collaborator outside my facility? Everything will remain in Smoke. All media files exist at both locations so we just need to be able to share the project files. Is an archive the best bet?

AutoDesk Smoke :: Moved A Project But Can't Relink

Mar 26, 2013

I did a project in SMK2013 in trial mode on an iMac. Mostly unmanaged media - links to ProRes Qts from Resolve. Sadly, I forgot to archive it before the 30 day trial expired.

I just installed 2013 on my main Mac Pro, and it's all licensed, and good to go - beware of a licensing issue with OS 10.8, by the way... (I'll write another post about that.)

I copied all of the linked source media to the new system, and using the MediaHub, I can see the projects on the iMac (even though I can't launch the app anymore), so my plan was to bring the sequences and rendered files over via Wire, then re-link to the ProRes source media on the licensed system. Easy, right?

I can copy the sequences over just fine, but in the conform tab - I can't get any of the Resolve files to relink. I've unlinked the shots, and set the file path straight to the prores media folder - the only thing different is the name of the drive it's linked to.

any column I choose to match - every file turns red. I've double checked the file names, the timecodes, etc... Everything matches up exactly, and yet it never finds a match, showing a conflict in every field I try to use as a match.

I thought i might have better luck if the media folder was imported into the project, and then manually set that folder a conform search location - but I crash every time i've tried that.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Deleting Media From Another Project

Jul 4, 2013

This is similar to something I have asked for before regarding managing media in remote/networked machines. But I can't find a way to delete media (individual clips or folders) from a nother project within my machine without switching to/loading up that project. At present in 2012 and as far back as I can remember I have had the ability to move and manage media withing other projects on the host machine as well as remote/networked machine.
 
Is there a button/preference I'm missing as this is integral to the workflow I use.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Retrieve Project From Time Machine

Oct 11, 2012

I lost an edit I was working on and Time Machine has complete backups for the past several days. I can see and find the backup copy in Time Machine in /usr/discreet/project/ . I can extract it from Time Machine. But how can I make Smoke aware of it and open it?

I tried a few things like I have an existing project called "/usr/discreet/project/Project1", I removed it and put my backup in the same place with the same name, but that doesn't work either.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Unable To Change Bit Depth For Project

Jun 12, 2012

When setting up a new project, I'm unable to change the bit depth for the project. It's set to 8-bit and ghosted. The graphics render button has a selector but when clicked it doesn't bring up the drop down.

My guess is that it has something to do with my hardware configuration (read: I need to upgrade my GPU) .

AutoDesk Smoke :: 2013 Transfer Project To New Installation?

Jan 2, 2013

First: I ordered the Smoke 2013 (floating-)licence through a german reseller a week ago and I still got no answer. Is this a normal "new years eve" delay?

Second: The Smoke installation is on a computer that's OS was actually cloned from another computer. The HostName, LocalHostName and ComputerName were changed, but Backburner still insists in using the "original" name given at the OS-Installation. So if the other "clone-computer" is running, Backburner gets in trouble and is stuck on waiting. During the troubleshooting process I turned on websharing to access [URL] ..... This led to the result, that anytime i restart the machine the computername is changed to 0.0.0.0 and the backburner wount work. No way, yet, to bring this back to normal.

Third: Waiting for the smoke-licence I already begun working on the project. Now it seems that I'll have to do a clean install of the system to get it finally running. But I do not want to loose the work so far. Is there a way to bring the actual project back into an new installation of OS/Smoke without having to archive it which does not work at the moment?
