Just playing with actions multiple outputs. Have added a matte output successfully but can't find the 'edit output' option to add objects from the schematic to the object list, even if I add all I am then seeing unexpected behaviour using the different blend modes. Is this operator error (it wouldn't be the first time...)?

AutoDesk Smoke :: Resize Filter On All Media

Oct 3, 2012

Working in Smoke 2013 pre-trial v3, and I've been wondering why every clip I import has the resize filter? Every video and graphic in the XML has a resize filter even though they are they same aspect ratio as the sequence. I've tried this with a NTSC and 1080i sequence and they've both had the same issues. I even imported a clip through the media hub and I had the same result. When I look at the clip in Final Cut, it is the same setting as the sequence so I don't have to render. In Smoke, I enter the resize editor and I don't see any resizing.

AutoDesk Smoke :: XML Import From FCP - Unlinked Media

Aug 25, 2011

I've been trying to import a XML from FCP (xml version 2), bun everytime I only get a timeline with unlinked media...

I placed the XML one directory above my media. But when I drag the XML into my library (having Store Local Copy turned on), I only get the "empty" timeline...

When I try to relink my media from the gateway, it's not relinking anything (it says, no video and audio found). Is there no way to import an XML without having to import the original media into my library? Also, no matter what kind of clip I'm importing, it always soft imports my clips, although store local copy is turned on...

Attached is a picture with the settings for my xml import (and on top the unlinked xml, which says SOFT, although, as you can see on the bottom of the screen store local copy is enabled).

AutoDesk Smoke :: How To Find The Original Media

Dec 2, 2012

I got a clip imported with cache ON. So it's transcoded into stone and not linked to original file. When i check the file info, there's no path to original file, so i don't know where is the source path. I put that clip on timeline, and press 'pre-processing' button, i got error msg : 'cannot find the original media'. How can i fix this since the clip's info itself shows no track to the original file.

Actually, i know where the location of the original clip is. It's in one of my external drive, if i reconnect the drive then it will fix the error.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Cache Media Not Working?

Oct 17, 2013

Trying to conform Canon C300 MXF media from 3 different drives.  My source footage is spread across 3 TB of portable drives, so I'm trying to conform each drive's footage, cache the media, then move on to the next drive.
 
This mostly worked, but there's about a half dozen clips that refuse to cache for some reason.  Everything looks fine when the drive is plugged in - then I consolidate handles, then go to the sequence and choose CACHE MEDIA - Backburner kicks in and says 100% complete.
 
But then I have to quit Smoke to eject the drives and connect a different one, and when I start Smoke again, MOST of the clips are there, but some of the clips are not.  They do not say Unlinked or checkboards - but they are just black.  (One time it showed RED frames - WTF??).  If I reconnect the HD, the clips show up, so it's obviously still reading it from the portable drive.
 
Is there an option to force cache individual clips?.
 
I tried unlinking/relinking thos problem clips, and even Hard Committing the GAP layer above - and those few clips still do not cache - even the hard commit goes black when the drive is disconnected.  How is that even possible?  Do I need to add an Axis Effect to force a render, then commit those frames?
 
why the BB would say 100% complete, but not all clips are truly cached?

AutoDesk Smoke :: Deleting Media From Another Project

Jul 4, 2013

This is similar to something I have asked for before regarding managing media in remote/networked machines. But I can't find a way to delete media (individual clips or folders) from a nother project within my machine without switching to/loading up that project. At present in 2012 and as far back as I can remember I have had the ability to move and manage media withing other projects on the host machine as well as remote/networked machine.
 
Is there a button/preference I'm missing as this is integral to the workflow I use.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Replace Imported Media

Sep 19, 2012

I was trying to find in the documentation a section about importing media and replacing media. I work at a VFX facility where we mostly work with EXR sequences and getting our footage as RED files.

So in an ideal world we would do the conform in Smoke and push out EXR files for the vfx/nuke/maya guys. And then be given back a EXR sequence with the timecode still intact.And in an ideal world, we would not get new EDL's from the offline facility in the middle of the project.

All of the above is a urban myth, the ideal world doesn't exist.And now for some questions from a not-so-ideal-world-situation.

1.) So how would you in Smoke2013 go about and compare EDL's so that you don't need to conform things that you already have?

2.) What if a clip is just 15 frames longer in the new EDL, would it be possible to extend a already existing clip?

3.) EXR's has lost their timecode, but we know with clip it is, how do we replace the clip? And would it be possible to "tag it" with a new timecode.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Exr - Unable To Read Media When Cached

Feb 14, 2013

I am trying to cache some exr files and for some reason Smoke can´t read the files:

Using the media hub I am able to view the exr file and can work with them as long as I don´t cache them. As soon as I cache them they are black and I get the message "unable to read media"

Is this some known bug? Backburner works perfectly (after tweaking some things with Mikes great tutorial), I can cache other files but not these exrs.
