AutoDesk Smoke :: Green Screen On Window With Tracing Markers - Putting Reflection Back
Jan 12, 2012
I have greenscreen footage, where a green screen was put on a window with tracking markers. A person is moving in front of it, so you can see the reflection. If I just key it and put a garbage mask around it, I can get rid of the green and the tracking markers, but how can i get the reflections back now? Cause if I just screen the original desaturated part back on, you can still see the tracking markers.... Is the only way to first paint over the markers and then screen it back on, or is there another way? I'm on Smoke for mac 2012.

I have just installed Smoke Ext 1 and tried Keying with Green Screen Footage. The Master Keyer result is not even close. Is it a bug with the Master Keyer?

I 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?

I will receive a 2D object and a normal pass. And from that I need to create some shperical image that will be mapped on to the image without being in 3D space. I know it's somehow possible in Fusion using some global pointers. Is something similar possible in Smoke?

I just tried to conform an aaf file which gave me lots of trouble before and with the new conform tools it worked really well. Nice, I really like the way they work.BUT:after fixing missing links and some stuff I went to the timeline to have a look at the edit. There were still some unlinked edits so I wanted to go back to the conform tab to fix this and Smoke instantly crashed.
I cannot go back to the conform tab with this edit without crash. I have to admit, that the aaf is probably very crappy and not well prepared but thats real life and smoke shouldnt crash.If I make a new sequence I can go to the conform tab. If I select the edit again and try to go to the conform tab I will crash again...
UPDATE:it only crashes if the timeline is set as record timeline (red)

I wonder how many of you would love to have that back. Cant find a poll option here. So guess just reply. Not that its gonna change anything. But atleast we would know how many wish to see it as it used to be. May be AD might have second thoughts.

I'm working on a simple effect that consists of three layers. The bottom layer is a background, the middle layer a gap effect with text and the top layer is a CFX layer. In that CFX layer is the back clip which is made up of the middle and bottom layers and a text node. The back clip is piped into an action background and the text node is an action layer. I'm doing a simple light bloom on the text inside of action.
If I understand CFX back clips correctly, shouldn't it update if a make a change to the middle or bottom layers? In this case it's not. I have to save my action and text nodes, go back out to the timeline, delete the CFX and create a new one. Then go back into CFX and re-apply the action and text nodes that I saved.
Is there a way to refresh the back clip of CFX to reflect the changes made underneath it?

I searched through all the key short cuts, looked through the user guide and I'm at a loss where you can nudge a clip back and forth by single frames. I saw you can hold 'D" and SLIP the clips one frame at a time, but not move them outright.
So, since nudging is one of the absolute most basic requirements of any editor, I know it's in there. But alas, they hid it too well. here it might be?
Maybe hiding next to a trim mode I don't see where I can see how my slips and slides affect the area around the clip?

Is there any way to dig through the discreet folders and possible find the new cursor icon and replace it with the old one? I found a flame artist who could change his batch and action nodes, If he could do this it shouldn't be to hard to change just the cursor, right?

In old versions of smoke when I load a source area back to my desktop I am able to select whether I want my clips 'tiled' 'stacked' or loaded back to 'saved position'. Where has this option gone in 2013. I have made a project put all my artwork into a source area in a nice logical way then wired this source area to another project and it just tiles my clips.
I am just missing the dropdown menu somewhere that allows me to leave it as it was originally saved!

I have a Time Machine backup of my MacBook Pro before I installed 2013 and lost 2012. If a Time Machine backup actually saves the / directories? If so, how can I navigate to /usr/discreet in the TM backup using the finder window? The only way I know how to get to those directories is using a Terminal shell window. There are one or two projects I'd like to recover, if I could.

I want to do rectangular selection (window select) couple of clips. So i try to click and drag (start from any empty area in timeline), but most of the time , i will end up picking up or moving the empty track (gap). In any other editing app , i can simply click and drag but not in Smoke. Yes, i have to click in specific area in the timeline so i can properly create a window selection .

I have a black bar on the top half of my screen when i render on the timeline after leaving CFX. when I enter CFX everything looks good, but once I am on the timeline I can't se the top half of my footage. This happened when I applied aliasing to the shot, but remained once I removed it. Also when i applied 4xHWAA My entire screen gets blacked out. This also crashes the smoke when rendering.

A project that I will soon start is a two-screen projection composed of 2 HD screens.
I wonder if it's possible to set up Smoke 2013 to output 2 HD streams simultaneously in split mode - one half of a timeline goes to one screen, and the other half goes to the other.
If it is possible, what kind of hardware would this setup require?

i'm trying to link my edl with the correct clips. So when i got a green check icon , indicating that smoke have found the matched clip. But before i link it i just want to make sure that it's the correct clip. So in the bin, the clip is highligted and i double click it to open it up in the viewer. The problem the viewer split control is disabled so i can't do split screen to match that clip with the guide/offline (in the edl sequence i've inserted the guide movie). all i can see i have to link it first then go back to timeline and now i can view in split screen.

What exactly should I click to view Channel editor full screen or in a resizable view port?
Currently it is displayed at the bottom put of the UI only and it is not possible to do anything on such a small view of the editor....
Brian Mulligan wrote in this blog:"If you hold SHIFT and double-click in a numeric field that has a keyframe set, then the Channel Editor will open up full screen at the top of the UI and switch to 1 up view. The numeric field you clicked on will be highlighted and framed."
Where is "numeric field that has a keyframe set" actually located?
When I shift and double-click on the numeric field in "Channel hierarchy" (on the left of the Animation curve window) a CALCULATOR pops up.

To hide the top menu bar and use the application in full screen, you must specify this setting in the Smoke Setup utility, which is found in the Smoke 2013 folder. In the Smoke Setup utility, under the General tab, set the Menu Bar option to no. When you hide the top menu bar, certain options, exclusive to the top menu bar appear at the bottom right of the screen. You must restart Smoke after making the change for it to take effect.
why but it feels to much more like a real application again! Hadnt realised just how much I disliked menu bars until now.Now how do I create some color bars?

Is H264 not compatible with Smoke?

I placed and traced a PS doc (with transparent background) in AI..... then I saved it as an AI file, opened it in Photoshop, and the background was white. Result was the same whether I saved it flattened or with layers as objects. How do I do this and maintain transparency? It's probably something obvious....
(I'm using CS 5 on a turn of the century Mac.)

I have a slight problem with a few pictures. I had a few pictures taken in a sunroom with a lot of windows. What we didn't realize was that the camera flash would reflect off the glass and form a flash effect in the pictures. Any idea on how to fix, if possible?

how to get the little green rotate circle back in C3D 2012 and 2013?
When you click on a point in 2011 (at least my setup), there is a little green circle that pops up that I can click on and rotate the point around. In 2012, I have to click on the point, then right click on it, then select rotate label, only then can I rotate the thing.

I have a new customer who sent me a few hundred images which one of his employees shot against a green background. It would be easy enough to remove the background, but the green is reflecting on lighter colored products (Like a gray sweatshirt) and some of the pictures are of transparent items, (like a clear, plastic cup, or a product in a clear, plastic bag).
He claims that Photoshop (Which he admitedly knows nothing about) has a "Chroma Green Remover" - You just wave your magic wand and the green disappears. He also claims that he used to send his images "overseas" to have this done and they came back in a matter of an hour or two.
I have been using Photoshop since version 3.5 and have never heard of such a technique (Using CS3 now). Is there a way to do this, or should I have him re-shoot the pics?
