AutoDesk Smoke :: Smac 2013 As Grading Tool Into Pipeline
Jul 24, 2013I've seen in action the Resolve and I don't really like it.. Using Smac as grading tool in a pipeline? I mean, any colorist using Smac for grading?

Have FCP Studio and/or Adobe production bundle running on the same system as your Smoke? If you do what issues do you have? I've heard that you should be able to run all 3 on the same system, maybe not at the same time and that's fine, but I've heard others say to go the old route and keep your Smoke system as just a Smoke system. We are currently in the process of racking our system up and will be starting to learn the system very soon but I've been wondering if there are down sides to including other software on the system.

My storage volume is mounted. Don't see anything odd in the Service Monitor. A restart of mac gets the same story.
Easiest way to restore a Smoke Linux archive using Smoke on Mac 2012. The archive was saved to an external USB drive that I assume is Linux Ext-2 or Ext-3.
Mounting the drive on the Mac is the challenge. I've read that using an open source program like MacFuse may be an option. Does Autodesk provide a Mac utility for doing this?
I created an action in CFX on my smac, and now I want to move it to my linux Smoke Advanced (v2013_sp3).

A lot of people ask for lustre, I would be happy enough with that "wipe" at the moment. CFX works fine for grading, but without reference..How are you dealing with this, is there a "secret button"?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen keying a shot over a background I find that if I then want to colour grade the foreground that it affects the quality of the key as it's obviously applying the colour change before the key.
I would colour grade first but that doesn't suit the workflow the director wants to use.
Can I use other languages in Smoke's text tool ?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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 RelatedI didnt see an auto adjust option in the gmask node, I can always use the hot key (classic smoke not FCP7 ha!) but I think its a nice feature to not have hidden.
Also having the context button in plain site not a right click would be nice too. Not a fan of the right click anything being a long time user of smoke and flame.
There is no custom transition in Smoke 2013.
I try to do so by creating an axis transition and match the contents.
It just matched the whole clip with wrong in and out point.Then I try to swap something with the transition.It said two targets of the same type is required.
Does the Swap Effects work for transitions?
It is pretty simple and smooth in Smoke 2012.
I'm running the trial version of Smoke 2013 (latest version) on a Mac Pro. Going out a Kona Card. SDI out works fine, but I'm not getting a signal out of the HDMI? (I know the cable is good, Final Cut works fine...).

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use stabilizer to smooth out a camera motion but immediately getting into problem with using stabilizer as I could not find any comprehensive manual on utilizing this feature.
I have one problematic very important clip with the uneven camera motion: camera moves at a certain rate and suddenly drops or increases in speed. It is around 5 min clip and involves some long panning with uneven rate of camera motion.
It is not shaky as the camera was on a tripod all right just the operator was a little bit drunk and spoiled the hole shot.
Anyway I spliced (cut) the lengthy clip into several segments where I could be able to find a distinguished feature to apply a tracker.
Then I applied an Axis FX through a timeline FX. In the "Axis" main menu I chose "Stabilizer". But in the Stabilizer Menu in the preview window I cannot see my video frames and there are boxes of tracker on the black background. How can I apply tracker if there is no footage seen in the window?
I can't start smoke neither 2013 nor 2012.

Now that Smoke 2013 PR3 has conforming tools again, I'd like to run the following questions by you before I look at producing more training videos on conforming for the Smoke Learning Channel.
In the legacy Smoke 2012 videos, I showed a workflow for working with RED R3D using Final Cut Pro 7 and QT proxies going to Smoke 2012 using the original R3D media. Would you still consider this valid and should I do the same again ?
There are quite a few variations and you already know so I am interested in your workflows so that I can make videos addressing them and the questions that will come up during this process.

I know in the smoke 2012 on OS X you were able to set your keys as Flame. Is this possible in Smoke 2013 beta 5 ?
Also, when in connect FX can you make a hotkey for pan and zoom ? Seems silly that you would have to change that manually every time but I am sure it is user error.
i have an internal hard drive specifically meant for Smoke 2013.
can't seem to find the way to change the location for the installation,it keeps on installing on the main disk.is it even possible to install it in different hard drive?
how LUT storage should work with Smoke 2013, but I think I'm seeing a bug.
I'm loading a LUT, able to using it as a monitor LUT and apply it to a clip, but when I reload the project, it loses the LUT path and I have to reload it. I've tried storing it on a network, and locally in the discreet folder. Is this a bug.
I was under the impression 2013 worked natively with AVCHD. I have footage from both a Sony FS100 & 700 and unless I'm missing something I'm coming up empty.
The file structure starts with: AVF_Info & Private
Private navigates to BDMV which navigates to :
Clip Info
Playlist
stream
Of those three selections only stream seems to want to do something but when you select it says it's "loading" but nothing happens...I let it sit for 15 minutes and nothing.
working with AVCHD in 2013? or what am I missing?
Getting this error message for Smoke Trial ext 1
ERROR: The Media Storage Location used by smoke is invalid or missing. Please check the settings in the Smoke Setup utility.
I tried to setup the Media Storage location but was unable to.
Whenever we try to import video clips they show up as all black. The length of the video is there, so it might be 15 minutes of black. But no matter what video (Sony, Red, etc.) it's all the same.
We're running pre-release 3 on the latest iMac. As far as we know the graphics card is compatible.
I was rendering something with smoke 2013 and I realized that is not using the full processor speed. In the activity monitor showed only 35% of the CPU speed (4 cores) were used while rendering. Is that normal?
(as an ex. I've tested my iMac 3.4 I7 with "lightwave 11" and the software succefully used 100 % of the Processor speed (8 cores) while rendering.)
Would that be corrected or is the way that Smoke used the resources available?
know if there is a keyboard with FCP shortcuts available to buy for Mac, or a set of stickers?
