I’ve just stumbled across a way to acess the old desktop tools and as an old Smoke on Linux user hope that Autodesk keeps it there.
This is what I did.... Loaded a project, went to keyboard shortcuts and set a short cut for repeat (used to duplicate frames). Now hit the shortcut and you should see all the old desktop tools.
As an aside, why is Change Timecode/Keycode, convert rate in the retired tab?
I can't find the button to create Desktop Snapshot like you can in Flame Premium. Is it there or do I need to save my Desktops differently.

It's not a show stopper but if you select more than one clip on the thumbnail desktop and pen copy they don't copy to where you place them but jump to be half hidden off the source area.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhy 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 ?

It's like you need to click and drag in just the right spot or you're deselecting your group. It's taking me about 20 attempts to do this simple task.
Selecting the clips in the library appears to work better than ctrl + clicking them on the desktop.

View 8 Replies View RelatedIn the desktop i can playback the thumbnail (space bar key), the problem is i will play the thumbnail under my current cursor position NOT the SELECTED thumbnail ? is there any preference i can set to switch this behavior?
Let say i'm hovering a thumbnail (clip) , i can play it by pressing space bar directly , but what if i want to scrub it first coz i don't want it to play from the beginning. While doing the scrubbing , my cursor will definitely then out of thumbnail. it might accidentally hovering (on top of) other clip/thumbnail. now pressing space bar will definitely play the wrong clip. so every time i scrub the clip, i got to reposition the cursor on top of the clip over and over again.
So i think it's more useful to change the behavior.
I'm trying to drag multiple clip from timeline into desktop or library but all the clips always got spliced into a single clip. How to keep them as separated clips ? or individual clips ?

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.
As soon as i try to open the default canon folder containing 5d footage, software crashes (spinning wheel, then app exited abnormally message).
I try re-starting wiretap gateway, wiretap server, and stone+wire thru Service Monitor then restarting smoke but that sometimes solves the issue and sometimes it doesnt. And sometimes i see checkerboards.
I tried solving the problem by running smoke with airport on or off but with similar results.I did some search here and gathered that it could be due to a number of reasons (IP address, local host etc) but I dont quite fully understand everything.
I don't have my mac pro networked via any Ethernet cable or anything and don't want to have to keep airport on unless i need to be online.
just tried to get access to a Flame Framestore via Wire/Network but unfortunatly I only see the Harddrive, not the Framestore.
I would love to load some conformed stuff from the Flame.
Is this not yet implemented or is there some special setting I have to change either on the Flame or SMAC? (SMAC 2013 prerelease on MBpro)
I think there should be a 'edit cfx' menu when we right -click the clip in timeline. This is very handy to get fast access to the cfx. Yes i can click the small cfx icon/button and RMB - edit cfx , or i can double click the cfx button itself, but this only work when the cfx button is visible. Also there should be a hotkey for this.

A weird thing is that I don't always get the error message. Sometimes the export works. But, more often it's not.
Is there a definitive list of functions, arguments, parameters etc?
I'm specifically trying to access image width and height and the number of items in the action node.

If I do file>automate>batch and then go to choose folder, the only folders I can access is the desktop. There are no plus signs and no other options except desktop. The same thing happens if I go file>scripts>image processor. Someone told me this could be a permissions problem with Vista.

1. If I have a layered Photoshop file or png with an alpha channel (a still frame lower third), I see that I can import it as a multi layered clip, but what is the best way to have it in the sequence to show up properly?

I am using photoshop CS6 extended. I cannot access the alternative gradient tools and am wondering if the plug-in failed to download or if I have somehow disabled them in the preferences.
