AutoDesk Smoke :: How To Disable Proxy In Project
Nov 21, 2012
I have a project with proxy is on. In some situation i want the proxy to be off. Like for example when viewing my timeline edit. the output resolution (in viewer) is using the proxy ( lores). How can i disable this ? can i do that without turn off the proxy in project setting ? how to tell the viewer to display the hires version not the proxy?

We are working on a 4K HD timeline using Proxies at 1920x1080. Can we export an HD Prores using all the Proxy renders? Everything I do from export, Hard commit, burn letterbox all wants to start rendering the full res footage. Is there a workaround a trick to bake out a proxy res version?

I have been looking for a while for a way to deactivate or disable a node in CFX. I know there is a way to disable nodes in Action by hiding them. Is there a way to do this in CFX? It would be handy to turn on and off a node in a CFX tree to see its effect on the whole tree.

I am wondering if there is any way to disable the big white on black messages that appear for 'Pending Render', 'Unlinked Media' etc
I find it best to work with my prefs on 'Show Selected Item' & it's a little annoying that these are so big & ugly, and also so peak white & black (worried for my plasma)

inside CFX, when i move node in a network with a lot of nodes, sometime when i drop the node, i can accidentally connect it to wrong node, as there will be a lot of connection line in that area. So is there any way i can disable this autoconnect feature temporarily ?

I had to uninstall Smoke earlier to attempt to get the export function working. In doing so I had to run this line of code in the terminal: sudo rm -rf /usr/discreet/
When i reinstalled and eventually got it working again Smoke didn't see the project i had spent a day working on.
Is it possible Smoke deleted my project when i ran the line of code or uninstalled?

I just spent the last couple of hours programming 28 stills with edges in CFX. I phsically clicked on save project repeatedly in those hours, especially once I hit a MAJOR milestone. I added a shadow cast node in action and my system locked up. I was forced to force quit. When I reopened my project, I found that I lost a couple of hours worth of work. In the months going on year of using this editor, I find that smoke 2013 is very well intentioned, but seriously lacking in very basic functionality. Putting out a product that is touted as a powerful editor that doesn't have a audio cross-fade node (lost in EXT version), can't add a simple outline to a clip with a button click (the reason I spent hours adding a hard shadow and changing layer priority for each of the 28 clips and finally and MOST importantly, saving EACH AND EVERY TIME the editor clicks save to completion is simply doing a diservice to a quality product. when a person clicks file-save project, the project should save fully.

I have Smoke (same version) running on two seperate Macs. Each Mac has an external thunderbolt drive for the media storage.
I worked on my project at home on Mac #1, and assumed I could bring in my external drive and use it with Mac #2.
When I try to add my drive from home to Mac #2, it creates ManagedFolder1. Which of course doesn't have my project in it- my project is on ManagedFolder0.
I suppose this may be caused by the fact I already have a ManagedFolder0 on a different external drive for this Mac, right? So I removed that drive, assuming I could then re-add the drive from home and allow access to the 2nd ManagedFolder0 with my project.
It just shows my old projects from the other drive still, but everything is broken inside of them. This makes sense as the drive is disconnected.

What's the easiest way to send a project to a collaborator outside my facility? Everything will remain in Smoke. All media files exist at both locations so we just need to be able to share the project files. Is an archive the best bet?

I did a project in SMK2013 in trial mode on an iMac. Mostly unmanaged media - links to ProRes Qts from Resolve. Sadly, I forgot to archive it before the 30 day trial expired.
I just installed 2013 on my main Mac Pro, and it's all licensed, and good to go - beware of a licensing issue with OS 10.8, by the way... (I'll write another post about that.)
I copied all of the linked source media to the new system, and using the MediaHub, I can see the projects on the iMac (even though I can't launch the app anymore), so my plan was to bring the sequences and rendered files over via Wire, then re-link to the ProRes source media on the licensed system. Easy, right?
I can copy the sequences over just fine, but in the conform tab - I can't get any of the Resolve files to relink. I've unlinked the shots, and set the file path straight to the prores media folder - the only thing different is the name of the drive it's linked to.
any column I choose to match - every file turns red. I've double checked the file names, the timecodes, etc... Everything matches up exactly, and yet it never finds a match, showing a conflict in every field I try to use as a match.
I thought i might have better luck if the media folder was imported into the project, and then manually set that folder a conform search location - but I crash every time i've tried that.

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.

some projects suddenly disappeared from the selection list that comes up when you start Smoke. The project files are still there and I didn't mess with them either. Is there any way to "refresh" the project listing?

I lost an edit I was working on and Time Machine has complete backups for the past several days. I can see and find the backup copy in Time Machine in /usr/discreet/project/ . I can extract it from Time Machine. But how can I make Smoke aware of it and open it?
I tried a few things like I have an existing project called "/usr/discreet/project/Project1", I removed it and put my backup in the same place with the same name, but that doesn't work either.

When setting up a new project, I'm unable to change the bit depth for the project. It's set to 8-bit and ghosted. The graphics render button has a selector but when clicked it doesn't bring up the drop down.
My guess is that it has something to do with my hardware configuration (read: I need to upgrade my GPU) .

There was a time, probably 2012 SP1, when smoke startup would take max. 30seconds.Now with 2012 SP2 after selecting a project smoke just hangs at the "Initializing shades" phase for almost 1min. making startups a major 2min.

First: I ordered the Smoke 2013 (floating-)licence through a german reseller a week ago and I still got no answer. Is this a normal "new years eve" delay?
Second: The Smoke installation is on a computer that's OS was actually cloned from another computer. The HostName, LocalHostName and ComputerName were changed, but Backburner still insists in using the "original" name given at the OS-Installation. So if the other "clone-computer" is running, Backburner gets in trouble and is stuck on waiting. During the troubleshooting process I turned on websharing to access [URL] ..... This led to the result, that anytime i restart the machine the computername is changed to 0.0.0.0 and the backburner wount work. No way, yet, to bring this back to normal.
Third: Waiting for the smoke-licence I already begun working on the project. Now it seems that I'll have to do a clean install of the system to get it finally running. But I do not want to loose the work so far. Is there a way to bring the actual project back into an new installation of OS/Smoke without having to archive it which does not work at the moment?

I just installed my Smoke2013 SP2 yesterday, and today I want to restore my project. From Mr. Grant Kay tutorial, I saw there's restore button once he double click the restore folder. But I can't see that Restore button.

Using Smoke EXT1 and a previous user archived his project using the old school method; media and setups seperatly instead of just selecting the project as a whole.
I've draged the media into a library and restored that easy enough but can not find the details of how to recover the setups from the tar file in the archive. It does not show up in the media pannel at all, just an emply folder. How to get these setups loaded into a project?
