AutoDesk Smoke :: ProRes RGB 4444 12bit Files And Headroom
May 15, 2013
Am I right in assuming that YUV Headroom should only be enabled when importing YUV 422 10bit files?
How does Smoke deal with RGB import of 4444 files? I am hoping it is similar to Resolve & imports the full range?
I tested this by importing with & without headroom & exporting dpx of both. I then compared these to the full range imports in Resolve & the dpx derived from not enabling headroom was the match.
I ask this as I want to ensure my comps go to Grade ok, and the colourist is happy! Last time I did this we were working with 422 10bit files & I had to enable headroom in Smoke in order to match Resolves 'full range' import.

Can I request that we set YUV + Headroom as a default.Should this be set at time of creating the project?

There is an issue with footage that needed the YUV headroom to be turned on when importing.What happens is that when this footage is exported, it get crushed blacks. So there need to be a YUV headroom setting for the export I believe. Maybe I am seeing it wrong.
Footage is MXF Panasonic HPX171 (DVCPRO HD 72025PN) footage.

I'm on 2012 SP3. I'm able to import and work with ProRes 422 just fine. But when I go to output and choose Quicktime, no ProRes options appear. Do I have to set this up somehow?

I am "pre-finishing" my work inProRes. Maybe because I have a slow internal HDD and too many timeline effects that need rendering.I am happy with the effects timing, the edit and the overall project.The next thing that seems obvious to me is to "switch" to "DPX uncompressed" (assuming I now have a fast Thunderbolt storage).
To achieve this I switched my project (with the pre-rendered ProRes timeline) to Uncompressed in the "Project settings".When done, the timeline was still rendered. It should have become "unrendered".To flush the existing render, I pressed "Force Render".
If I hover over the timeline thumbnail using the "?" key, I receive 1920x1080 8-bit.This is the case for both DPX and ProRes settings.If the timeline is rendered in ProRes, it should say so in the clip information.

having problems when generating managed media through the Mediahub from H264 into Apple ProRess 4:2:2 (HQ).
I tried different options but that happens that it never finishes rendering the files, and the Jobs tab shows the system updates the files randomly with a "busy" status while all of the others show "waiting". However nothing happens.
I entered the managed folder from the Store and have nothing but a couple of 1 frame clips.

I've been running the trial for a week with no problems importing and caching media in ProRes 422. Today when I booted up smoke I attempted a similar practice run with importing some random clips and playing around again and noticed that nothing was getting cached. When I clicked import it said it could not connect to backburner on port 0.
There appear to be a couple of threads regarding this issue where people lose the ability to cache media or export using backburner. I followed a thread posted here: [URL] ....
I tried restarting backburner, restarting the mac, reinstalling smoke and attempted the "clean install" script that is listed in the article above. After I performed the terminal commands and reinstalled Smoke, it connects to backburner but now in the jobs tab/backburner manager says it is waiting (occasionally switches to "busy" for a second or two).
Here's the error I get in backburner manager:
Matthews-MacBook-Pro.local 1946321280 swBIOSubJobServer.C:385 02/13/13:16:23:24.347
1946321280 swBIOAdapter.C:454 02/13/13:16:23:25.403 Cannot process tasks 0... in /var/tmp/WireJob/SubJob0
Unimplemented feature while reading source frames
I'm running Smoke on an internal SSD and my framestore is also on an internal HDD, but I can't imagine that's an issue since I had already successfully imported media before.
I also attempted to export a sequence of soft imported footage (also failed). The error is below:
Matthews-MacBook-Pro.local 2893642280 transcoderMediaProvider.C:312 02/13/13:16:56:30.268 Cannot get type of clip IFFFS-16:/stonefs7/Stinkzone/workspace/Media Library/_Export_130213_165628_1/H_16777343_S_1360792589_U_170633/hires: Project Stinkzone not found

I'm working on a feature film and I have a question about relinking AAF to mp4 material.First let me explain the steps I took:
-source material mp4 files from camera
-transcoded to .mov files so we could use it in Avid
-export AAF from Avid.
Smoke:
-imported all the source clips (mp4 files) with the gateway into Smoke
-imported the AAF file
-put the AAF file in same reel as mp4 files.
-choose Tools/Unlink/Relink and enabled 'Use Clip Name' and Use Timecode.
The problem now is that all the clips are getting linked by timecode only.I discovered that it's because the clips used in avid are .mov files that I want to relink to the mp4 files.
Is there a workflow to substitute the .mov for mp4 in Smoke somehow?I hope there is because now I have to do a lot of manual work (and there is not enough time for)

Since the aim of this pre release is to squash bugs there is another thing I found out so far:
The media library crashes when I enter a folder containing .MTS files (AVCHD file container for the Pana AF100 & Sony FS100 for example).
I think these medias should be transcoded automatically since it's a popular codec right now but unusable for edit.

The shop where I work shoots with Sony HVR z7u cameras. The small memory recording unit on the back of the camera records m2t files. Smoke does not seem to recognize these files natively. (Neither did FCP without a downloadable Sony driver). Is there a recommended workflow for dealing with m2t files?

I've been unable to import ProRes 422 files son I have to work with the H264 native files, which suck. But now I tried to import a couple of PSDs and a TIFF and they don't appear in the media hub nor can I drag-and-drop'em to the media library.

I worked for two days with Smoke 2013. Much easier to get around than previous versions. but for now I will only mention the problem I have, not the qualities I found in this new version.
First day of work was fine, everything felt as expected. Second day the problems start:
> same User, same Project, same Original files and hard drives.
- at startup error message briefly displayed: "failed to create tar files"
- upon Importing ProRes 422 files: I set smoke to Create Intermediate files and Proxies (in order for Smoke to use its own files and not the originals): does not do anything. At the bottom left of the timeline I get the message: "can't connect to backburner manager". I tried restarting Backburner. It seems to work, but on reimporting I get this message again.
- if I then drag the files from the Finder to Smoke, they appear in yhe library but cannot play (Render Pending message). On first day I worked with the same set of files and Smoke seemed happy. I felt things were going nicely.

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?

One shows my finder where the psd files are, and the other shows my desktop within the Smoke library. Only one psd file gets recognized.I tried copying them to different locations, and renaming them, but nothing worked.The ones that don't get recognized are in CMYK colorspace. Is that a problem?How else can I get the layers into Smoke? By converting it to RGB, my layers get flattened.

We are trying to share files between a Smoke 2013 E1 and a Flame 2013. I can see Flame from Smoke but no the other way around. I can see flame´s projects but cant see any clip. I can see flame´s clips from Safari using Wiretap Central. Are these applications compatible?

Any 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.

I like to use TIF files because of the embedded alpha that can go along with the file. I'm having a small problem when I'm using them inside of Smoke 2013. I'm creating text files in photoshop, real basic color fill with a drop shadow, my workspace is 16bit RGB, exporting them to TIF from Photoshop and importing them into Smoke. I make sure Create Matte Container is selected and import the file into my library. When I add the file to my CFX comp i'm seeing a black edge around everything. It looks like the fill is not extending all the way to the edges of the matte. Is there something I need to do to make sure that these file comp correctly? Am I exporting them right from Photoshop?

My Smoke just crashed and there is the possibility of loosing all my projects. I have localized some files that I want to "recover" even if they are all scrambled. The problem is that these files seem to be single frames .mov files. If I try to import them to another Smoke they will be imported as single files and there are 6000 of them. How can I tell Smoke to treat the individual .mov files as a single sequence. I renumbered the files.

Is it possible to change the settings of red files that exists in a sequence?
I've tried altering the red import settings of a sequence that contained the same clip cut up and a sequence that contained red files and non-red files, but the change seem to only work on the original clips.

Trying to import some still images into Smoke 2013. There are 15 files, all from the same source, all the same format (.png), however, when I open the folder in the mediahub, it reads 2 or 3 of the files and nothing else. The other files are in the folder and are no different than the ones Smoke does read, yet for some reason the other files are nowehere to be found through the mediahub. This isn't the first time I've had something like this happen.

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