What would be a bonus is at anytime I could go to the timeline and click on an imported piece of footage and tell smoke to Include YUV headroom after the fact of it being imported and used.
View 7 RepliesI'm looking for the workflow for Red Footage.
In our facility, we are shooting 4k HD format. Then we can finish our final project as HD.
I installed Red Rocket and the Red Footage as Half premium debayer (1920x1080) playback in realtime at preview window of the "Media" tab.
However, I insert the same clip on the timeline (1920x1080, same as Half premium debayer), smoke automatically puts resizing effect. When I open the effect, I notice this effect doesn't do anything.
Any way you can take 5D footage and convert it from Lin to LOG?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using Pre Release 5 for editorial as opposed to conform and I've moved some of my source material to a different drive than I was using when I started the project.
Normally in FCP or Avid, I would just re-link to the footage and that would be that. I know this could be done with footage in the timeline, but what about plain old source footage? I can't seem to find the re-link tool.
As soon as i try to open the default canon folder containing 5d footage, software crashes (spinning wheel, then app exited abnormally message).
I try re-starting wiretap gateway, wiretap server, and stone+wire thru Service Monitor then restarting smoke but that sometimes solves the issue and sometimes it doesnt. And sometimes i see checkerboards.
I tried solving the problem by running smoke with airport on or off but with similar results.I did some search here and gathered that it could be due to a number of reasons (IP address, local host etc) but I dont quite fully understand everything.
I don't have my mac pro networked via any Ethernet cable or anything and don't want to have to keep airport on unless i need to be online.
I've got RED footage that imports codec 3.x, RedColor3 and RedGamma3. I'm delivering rec709 but would like to work linearized. Do I just change the color settings to rec709 in the color box and linear in the curve option to work correctly?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI did a bunch of test fixes on a low resolution version of a project. All using batch.
Now I have the full resolution versions of the clips.
I thought I could drop the Batch set-up onto the new clips and then do an Apply & Scale to the Action nodes inside Batch. But that doesn't seem to work. At least from what I can see, all my gmasks are in the place they'd be if the footage were still smaller?
I have footage that contains GS footage. I also have a graphic I want to put behind the two. I can achieve this with a vertical comp in my time line and the timeline axis effect. But when I try to connect the two with CFX I get an error and my footage looks wonky.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a question about conforming material from Abode Premiere CS 5.5..I have a 720@50p source that was converted to Avid DNxHD 10bit 720@50p in Quicktime .mov container, using Media Encoder.Then material was edited in Premiere, cuts, dissolves and etc. Timeline in Premiere is set to 720@25p, because I need to output 720@25p finals.Premiere DOES NOT slowdown shots in timeline, it just plays them skipping every 2nd frame (I thinks so), so it is played in a normal speed and audio is in sync also. In Interpret footage settings nothin is changed - so, it still treats as 50p footage.
Problem is that I dont understand how to conform this footage correctly in Smoke.If I use automatic conform using wiretap import of AAF (same dir as footage is), Smoke thinking about this operation about 10-15 mins and then it creates a 1080@50p timeline where all shots are smaller it's native size and timing is completly wrong. They starts early than they should.If I use Video I/O I have correct sizing but timing issue is still present.
I need to create a project with PAL settings and override resolution to 720p?
How make Smoke to play footage same as Premiere does? Whithout shifting in out points?
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 was wanting to try out the clone tool to paint out a fly in some footage I have, but I can't get the clone tool to grab a sample region. I hold down ctrl and click where I want to sample from, but the green circle doesn't appear. I can do it by manually offsetting it with the x and Y position, but I'd like to do it with my pen.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe client asked me to give them a version of the Final sequence in which the colour of a looping background was slightly different so that they could compare the two. They also asked for two different pieces of music so they could test which one worked better. Before they picked the final version they wanted everything slightly shorter. The duplicates keep piling up.
Is there a way to swap put a shot in a master sequence and have it update in all the other duplicates I have made? How does one keep track of all the sequences in Smoke with all these little changes.
PS. With the audio I put the two music tracks in the sequence and muted one or the other. Dealing with different lengths of a commercial needs me to duplicate and then things start piling up.
Somehow on it's incarnation to Smoke 2013 a core functionality of editing is lost.
I cannot drag'n drop any footage from the viewer into the TL by F-drag or Pen-tip anymore. This has been working in previous versions of Smoke and makes an NLE an intuitive experience, especially if you are coming from a FCP/PremierPro background. I'm sure this is a typical alpha build loss.
what is the workflow for making footage broadcast legal in smoke.
I have read different explanations on the web, but still not totally clear on it.
how Brian Milligan creates broadcast safe.
DSLR footage I need a sharpen node. Is there a way to sharpen in Smoke?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there any keyboard shortcut in Smoke to shuttle quickly across footage (with sound playing) at 2x or 3x speed like you can in Avid/FCP/Premiere etc by double/triple-tapping the J and L keys?
This makes scanning through clips and the timeline so much faster and I consider it a basic essential.
I have just installed Smoke Ext 1 and tried Keying with Green Screen Footage. The Master Keyer result is not even close. Is it a bug with the Master Keyer?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to access the timeline within CFX ( much like in Flame ) ? I see the timing button but this doesn't seem to have the same control as a timeline for a specific clip.
Also, is there a way other then "explode one" or "explode all" to go within a CFX within a CFX ( pre comp ) ? i.e. a setup that is then put within the BG of action.
Is there a way to get rid of the play tab on the timeline?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to export the in & out from the Timeline?
It isn't done until it is finished.
Is it possible to grab the head or tail of the video segment and have the timeline stay stationay and you drag the edge to the timeline position?
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhile in CFX, Action, Text edit, Axis etc, is there a way to see the output of the timeline? I know while in CFX you can set the CFX output as a context but what if I have multiple CFX composites stacked up and I want to see the final output of the timeline while editing or modifying something inside a CFX or Action node?
View 9 Replies View RelatedNew to Smoke (DS 14 years, FCP 4 years) and hoping to learn it so I can purchase when 2013 is released. Is there a way to zoom the timeline while playing? I searched around but I can't seem to find if it can be done or if I just don't know how.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an edit and now I want to export as DPX sequence. A couple of questions:
First, is there an easy way to take a single edit and export it with handles? I realize that I can make a subclip but is there an easier/better way to do this?
I can't find an automated way to set handles on export. I have about 175 shots that I need to export .
It is possible to duplicate/copy a clip/gap effect on the timeline? Or do you *have to* drag/copy it to a Source Area first? In this particular case, I've got 3 gap effects that I'm essentially using as adjustment layers...for some reason I thought I could hold down F & drag them somewhere else in the timeline which would create a duplicate and drag them to wherever I dropped them. But maybe not...? In the meantime, I just copied them to a Source Area, and then dropped them back on the timeline where I needed them, which worked just fine.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do you extract a section of a timeline but keep sync further down the timeline?
I wanted to take a section out near the start, it just had V and A1, A2. There was A3-6 further down the timeline but they hadn't started yet.
For some reason I can't get Smoke to cut a track that hasn't got any media before that point. So, at the section I needed to remove I couldn't place a cut and so when I removed a section A3-6 stayed where they were.
I also tried marking in to out and extract but again it left the other audio tracks.
Such a simple thing, but I can't work out how to do it
Is it possible to move keyframes in the timelime or do I have to go into the animation curves menu to do it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThere is a shortcut key that I have been using in FCP for years. That is to select the edge of a clip and hit "E" and the clip will extend to where ever the timeline is.
Is there a function like this in smoke 2013?
Graphics import into the library with a default length of 1 frame. Is there a way to lengthen that so I don't have to zoom way in to grab the edge of the clip?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWith PR4 the right click contextual menu for the timeline seems to have been re-arranged to accomodate new features.
As a result, when you right-click a timeline element to remove all effects you have to move your pointer up through a list of about 15 items to reach the "Remove Effect" command.
There also appears not to be an assignable keyboard shortcut to remove all effects from a selected timeline element. (apart from Option+Clicking on the effect in the effect bar which just removes a single item).
Would it not make sense to have this remove effect command at the bottom so that it appears right near your pointer when you activate the menu?A keyboard shortcut binding would be ideal as I realise the contextual menus are probably in a state of constant change at the moment.
