AutoDesk Smoke :: 2 Outputs From Batch?
Sep 17, 2012I have a batch which is combining various elements and then keying the thing over a bgnd.
I was wondering if I could get a matte and a fill from the batch, you know like Action can render a few outputs and puts them on the desktop?
Or with Batch do you have change the flow inside and render different passes seperately?
I haven't described it well. I basically want a matte and fill of my batch to import them into an Avid.
AutoDesk Smoke :: Using Batch Set-ups With Resized Footage
Feb 10, 2014I 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?
AutoDesk Smoke :: Loss Of Media In Batch And Warning Triangle?
May 7, 2013I am testing 2013 on Mac and have come across a few issues
1. When I load a batch set up it losses all media
2. When I go to the Library and drop the Media over the Red empty frame it only gives me a still random frame, not the correct media. If I move the media in from the Library and re parent it it works fine (see screen shot colour_glass_line-4)
3. If you see in the schematic there is a funny warning triangle what is that? The Batch renders OK when all the Media is attached.
4. When moving media in from the Library in batch it is very easy to move it out of the folder to another not good.
AutoDesk Smoke :: Opening Old 2010 Flame Batch Fx Masters
Oct 16, 2012It would seem that when I restore an old archive and enter the batch fx that all the media is correct, all tracking etc is correct but the keyer is inaccessible and all keys are defaulted to luminance of the input. I can't enter and edit them at all.
I also tried restoring to a new project which I setup with the legacy option selected. Am I missing something or is this not supported in pr4?
AutoDesk Smoke :: How To Store Local Copy
Nov 26, 2012I'm coming from a Smoke Linux perspective so the terms might not be right:
Pre-Release 6, I've imported and EDL, linked it to DPX film scans on the network, and consolidated 10 frame handles. I can "cache" the files locally as ProResHQ, but how do I do a "store local copy"? That is make a copy of the DPX files I need on my machine.

Nov 10, 2011I try to copy an edit from one project library to anothe project library, I get the error message: Clip Mgt: Entry "..." has pending rendered video media. Deselecting entry.
How can I find out which media ist still pending render? Because everything is processed, everything has been loaded in via store local copy... The only thing I couldn' figure out is, my edit has the little lightgrey SOFT icon on it (although no clip within my edit has that icon....the only light grey icon there is in my edit is the H for clip history. so I don't know where this is coming from, and maybe it all connects together...)

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoDesk Smoke :: Store Local Copy Progress?
May 1, 2012I am conforming three 2 minute long sequences and am trying to soft import all the footage, then conform, then consolidate to 24 frame handles, then Store Local Copy all the footage (only used in each sequence). I feel like i used to get a "Pending Render" super over the preview player in the Library. For some reason i am not getting this message. Is there any way to check the progress of the Store Local Copy, or to make sure that smoke is actually storing a local copy? The drive that the media lives on is a 2TB GRaid and i am getting awful performance in smoke when trying to do anything with the clips/sequences, which i expected...
View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoDesk Smoke :: Soft Import In Paint - Local Copy
Apr 3, 2013I have a number of clips that were soft imported, then used in the paint module to remove some blemishes. I have since done a 'store local copy' on the original clips.
The painted clip still has the 'soft' indicator. How do I update the painted clip?
Is there a way to go into the history of the painted clip and replace the soft import with the local copy? Do I 'store local copy' on the painted clip?

AutoDesk Smoke :: Timeline Edit - Drag Copy Single Frame Is Broken
Dec 26, 2012I'm using fcp hotkey , by default the 'drag copy (single frame)' is mapped to ' alt-c' . Normally this will work fine. But in some case where a cfx clip is selected or my time indicator is parked on top of a cfx clip in active timeline , then do 'alt-c' will give an error message "connectfx cannot be modified inside the containers. Proceed with edit ? "
So to solve this temporarily, i have to first deselect the cfx clip or move the current positioner on top of a non-cfx clip.
AutoDesk Smoke :: Difference Between Text From Soft Fx And Text In Action
Mar 21, 2012Why is there a difference between the text from the soft fx and the text in action? If you look at the attached picture, the 3 lines look slightly different although they shouldn't. The first line was written inside the soft fx.
The second line, with an ugly outline, is the 3D text, and although it's the same font, it looks thinner here.
And the third line, which I think looks a little too soft, is with AA turned on in action.
So why can't I achieve the same look in action, as in the text soft fx?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoDesk Smoke :: 3D Text Reflection
Apr 24, 2013I have composed a scene in action that contains 3d text with a reflection layer. I animated the reflection to keep the part of the image that I want to appear on the letters in view. Everything looks ok when I step through in action or click preview, but comes out wrong when I render.
It looks like there may be some sort of timing issue, so I've checked for slip and TW problems and found none. I've also checked for transitions on other axes that might cause a problem and see none. Is this a bug?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoDesk Smoke :: Animating 2D Text With Expression?
Dec 22, 2013I have two questions on animating 2D text. First, is there a way to randomize the actual text, as you can do in AE? For example, I have a string of numbers, le's say "24234" and I'd like them to change randomly over time. Second, I'd like the text to flicker on and off, but on regular intervals, such as every frame it would alternate from 0% opacity to 100% opacity. I was thinking of doing this with an expression that would simply evaluate the frame, and outout 0 or 1 depending on whether the frame is even or odd.
