What if I edit in smoke and want to export an xml of my sequence for color correction in another app that imports xml.
As a pixel artist, I could not find the following:
1) I have been searching for a way to edit my color pallette indexes in real time (preferrably through a RGB/HSV slider). Is this currently possible through any means?
2) Is there a way to cause a pixelated effect with the gradient tool (or any tool)? This can be used for quick background effects, speeding up a process for a piece.
3) Turn off the dimming from the navigator window when I zoom in.
4) (See attachment) Adjust the status bar to be more useful than just simple tips. I also don't need a scaling indicator if the navigator window forces me to have one. It would be nice to turn this off for the navigator window as well. Being able to maximize the space for that window would be ideal for more detailed previews.
I already use GIMP for stilled pixel art, and would like to maximize my speed and efficiency doing so.
re: NEW color picker stroke color not updating in real time (previewing).
Is it me or has the stroke color preview been removed in CS6 or is there a setting that needs to be changed to enable it?
The problem: When I create a shape layer, press enter and then chose a stroke color from the color picker, I select a color but it doesn't update the stroke color until I press enter. I'm sure it used to change in real time as you clicked on the color picker panel before accepting it.
Further update: This is when creating a shape but using the new stroke feature in the properties bar at the top (the one which gives you the new fancy options like having a dashed, transparent or gradient stroke) and not the traditional method of adding it as an effect. This still shows a real time update, but the new method doesn't.
I come from the FCP world. When I edit, my clips don't change speeds just bc they are placed in a certain area of the timeline.
In SMOKE 2013 they do. I want to turn off that feature if its possible.
When I extend a clip Id like it to stop when its done and not keep stretching itself as long as I keep pulling it so that it time warps. Same when I trim a clip. Id like for it to trim not time warp to fit to its new shorter length.
My timeline has all sorts of sped up and slowed down clips.

Is there a way to add and remove time warps that changes the length of the clip itself?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Is 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.

Today I was messing around with import. Tried to pull in 100GB of footage and found it took nearly 1hr 45 mins over USB3. I know the slow speed was down to the rubbish hard drive I was pulling from but it would have been really useful to know that it was going to take 1hr 45mins. I could've gone to the pub!
We get a time estimate on backburner importing? I also wanted to check that smac 2013 isn't throttled anywhere on import speeds? I know that smoke all the way up to 2010 vsn was throttled so that you would never get import as fast as your disks could go.
Is there a way without grouping nodes to move several at the same time in action?
Having to group nodes just to rearrange the layout is too slow.
Is it possible to use the Timearp function in the same way as Time Remapping in AE?
I just watched Grants video for a third time and it doesn't really touch on this kind of time manipulation.
specifically i need to add keyframes at specific events then be able to move those keyframes to match up with other moves on a different video layer, and have the "time" between the two keyframes react accordingly.
does smoke have a feature to do 'time offsetting' ? in connect fx (not in action), i have a clip and applied some fx node like blur , CC etc. Now i want to offset or slip the network (media and fx nodes), so not only the media but also all the keyframes from all the fx node. Can i do this ? i use foundry Nuke where this can be done easily. How about in smoke ? So maybe like attaching a 'timeoffset' node to the network.

and Can i have different interpolations for individual keyframes on the same parameter? (so i can ramp a move into a keyframe, then continue out at a linear interpolation)?
each time I force quit Smoke with the service monitor in a project when I open the same project after it takes several time to load the clips (EDITDESK: LOADING CLIPS). Sometimes the project just didn't open and stay on the EDITDESK: LOADING CLIPS screen.
There's something I'm doing wrong or my project is totally corrupt ?

what is still missing in smoke is having the color wheel while picking a color. The color wheel will enable us to pick any color straight from the wheel , it's much faster rather than trying to mix the desired color using RGB combination. it will be cool to see this feature in next release.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to just simply work with the highlights in a shot (for example boosting the gain), without having to work with selective, or masks, and without changing the color? Cause there is the 'wheel' for highlights, but as soon, as you turn it in one direction, you start to change the color.

In 2012 it was very easy to select a gap segment and click color source in the soft effects. In 2013 it appears to be much more difficult, you need to create it in a folder then edit it into a sequence. Am I missing something? I wish there was a color source option in the effects ribbon.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there was an easy way to view individual color channels (Red, Green, Blue) in the viewer, and if so what the shortcuts are. I know you can do this simply in flame but can't seem to find a way to do it in Smoke.

View 5 Replies View Relateda) is it possible to change the default font that gets activated for a project or sequence? Every time we add a title it defaults to "Discreet" - it would be good if it learns from past changes at least for the sequence.
b) it would be good if the default font color changes to a color that contrasts with the background when starting to type. E.g. we had a rather white scene, started typing and no text ever showed up. I then had to go back to the full text editor, change the color etc.
c) moving the color sliders in the color selector manually without a Wacom seems to slow by default. It takes forever to move to a brighter color. And using the picker is cumbersome (we do that as a work-around instead of moving the slider). The OK button for the color sliders is not very visible, sometimes leading to us clicking away without saving the newly selected color by accident.
it seems to be a bit messy. I set it to F10 like in 2012 and the small popup box with the color picker doesnt seem to pop up proper. Something blinks on the top right corner and disappears. Same goes for colorbar. Any workaround or fix for this one?

I've noticed that when I drop a CC on a clip in the timeline with AutoKey turned off, if I adjust a paramater a keyframe is still added. But, if I enter the module, no keyframe is added. Also, if I enter the module and exit back out, no keyframe is added adjusting paramaters.

Are both capable of delivering the same result? Is the underlying tech the same on both and its only a matter of UI?
