AutoDesk Smoke :: Reformat Timeline To HD - Commit With Handles

Oct 10, 2013

I've a question regarding a conform workflow in Smoke/Flame. Is there a way to reformat your timeline to HD, but with keeping the handles and cuts?

For example if I do a conform with 4K red files in a HD timeline, after the conform. I would like to commit everything to HD, but with handles. This is because I don't need the smoke to cache the large 4K source media files.

I tried using the reformat option, but this gives me only 1 long clip. without cuts and handles

I also tried selecting the timeline, and choosing commit timelineFX. This will commit every clip and keeps the edit points, but…..removes the handles.

In the old Smoke, before 2012, there was one way. Namely to use the reformat tool in the library. But now it's gone.

AutoDesk Smoke :: How To Export Timeline With Handles

Sep 10, 2012

I 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 .

AutoDesk Smoke :: How To Reformat Timecode Of A Clip Without Rendering

Oct 6, 2012

A DPX sequence I'm importing is coming in with 24P timecode but should be at 23.976. Once imported, I tried changing the timecode track via Tools > Reformat and selecting "23.976" and "Affect Record Timecode" - but am then prompted to process a timewarp over the clip. That doesn't seem right to me since I'm just trying to change the TC and playback rate of the clip without actually affecting picture.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Unable To Commit Clip In Desktop

Nov 22, 2012

Why can't i commit the clip on desktop ? there's no 'commit' in the right click menu. To get this menu, i have to right- clicking the clip in timeline. So let say my clip in the desktop , first i have to drag it into timeline , or open it as sequence. Now in timeline , i commit the clip, then put back (drag) the clip into desktop. That's weird workflow... why can't i just do commit the clip in desktop so i don't need to go through that process ?

AutoDesk Smoke :: Re-linking Doesn't Respect Handles

Nov 21, 2012

This is a real problem with either storing media locally or generating proxies as smoke is bogged down creating all this unwanted media...

It seems to work (though not 0 correct) when you bring in an xml and smoke finds the media straight off the bat...but for any clips that don't link and you have to set a search location the specified handles get ignored and the whole clip is brought in...

This means that if you just want to unlink a sequence, consolidate and re-link to R3D media for example, all handles on all clips are ignored...

AutoDesk Smoke :: Access Timeline Within CFX

Nov 3, 2012

Is 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.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Copying Gap Effects On The Timeline?

Aug 24, 2011

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.

AutoDesk Smoke :: How To Extract Section Of Timeline

Oct 25, 2012

How 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

AutoDesk Smoke :: Timeline Contextual Menu

Oct 8, 2012

With 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.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Color Source To Timeline?

Feb 13, 2013

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.

AutoDesk Smoke :: How To Select Clips On Timeline

Oct 30, 2012

I have got some questions:

1. How can I select many clips on the timeline? (I work with a Wacom tablet.) When I press the pen onto the tablet and move it, I can only pull the gap. In connect fx it works, when I hold cmd.

2. If I set markers in the timeline, is there a way to also see them in connect fx?

3.There is a function in Final Cut: When I I select a clip from the timeline and press "f" , I can go on working on its source clip in the viewer. Is there something similar in smoke? I cannot find the name for this function, so I cannot search for it in the keyboard shortcuts.

4. If I render something, is there a way that Smoke automatically copies the file (without copying the effects)? The reason for that question is: I applied timewarp to a clip, then I wanted to go on working on the clip in connect fx, but the length of the clip changed - it was shorter. When I went on working in action and put some lense flares and rendered it, everything was bended and looked weird. It looked great but I did not intend to do something like this.

The next questions are no real questions but rather problems.

5. When I work with audio (audio clip locked), I cannot really cut on the music, because 5a. sometimes the amplitudes do not match the music. An example: There is no amplitude, but the music goes on for 2 seconds. 5b. And when it is correct and I cut on the beat and render it, it is not sync anymore some moments later or when I restart smoke. (It only displaces 1 or 2 seconds from the sync.)

6. Since I have updated from pre-release 4 to pre-release 5, I cannot export anymore. I have read a lot on blogs, but I could not really find my problem. I cannot even press the export button.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Red Footage Resizing On The Timeline?

Jul 11, 2013

I'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.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Make PIP In Timeline With Axis

Aug 29, 2012

I'm trying to make a PIP in a timeline with Axis. PIP is a easy thing so I made it of course.

But the problem is When I use multiple PIPs. There's no Global axis like in Action, so I couldn't control PIPs at once. I thought make a Gap effect with axis or Container would be work, but It didn't work as I thought.

Do I have to make a mask for PIP? Is there any way to move, rotate, scale them together easily? & Axis could have only one image? In animation view, there's a Global axis and a image axis.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Looping Clips In The Timeline

Feb 24, 2012

I was wondering if when I stop a looping clip playing in my timeline, I could have it stop at the frame I stop on instead of stopping at the positioner or in-point. This is a very vital problem I'm having.

I have come up with a work-a-round but it doesn't work near as smoothly as I would like it to.

All I do for the workaround is instead of hitting space when I stop, I hit right alt to set an in point then hit space to stop and "A" to move to my newly created in-point. But it doesn't work as smoothly as it should. I would really like it to perform like playing a clip in the desktop works. It just loops around and when I stop, it actually stops.
