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 ?
View 4 RepliesI know we can mute a complete video layer. But how to mute a videoclip (element) on the timeline? Just imagine I have 4 versions of all shots each in one layer and I want to play the timeline like this:
from the first cut shot no1 in layer 1, from the next cut shot no3 in layer3, from the next cut shot no2 in layer2, etc etc ... and the director wants to see 10 combinations ASAP in FCP I can mute an element...
I'm new to Adobe After Effects and trying to adjust audio levels on the timeline using key points. This works great for db levels but the maximum level that can be set is -48db and this is still allowing some audio to "bleed through". I can mute the audio for the whole track, but that's not what I want - I want to mute the track at certain keypoints on the timeline.
I can't see any way to do this in After Effects.
Bug in CW in Connect FX, when i try to do color balance a shot. so i plot the white color and try to change it via Highlight it does not move the color in color space view. Same happens when it done with shadow color wheel.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been running PR5 for a while and everything has been stable. Today Smoke locked up and I had to force quit. After the force quit I have been unable to start Backburner. If I try to export I get this message:
Cannot connect to Backburner Manager. localhost:Backburner: Connection Refused.
If I open Smoke Prefs and try to toggle the Backburner Manager box I get the following:
Backburner Configuration: Unable to switch to localhost. Connection Refused
I have tried re-starting Backburner in the Service Monitor and each time it will turn green for 10-20 seconds and then turn red. I have also double checked that the Manager Hostname in Smoke Setup is set to localhost. I have checked my Network settings and only Airport is active, using DHCP and IPv6 is set to off. I have uninstalled PR5 and installed PR6 but still have had no luck.
Oddly if I type sudo nano/usr/discreet/backburner/Network/backburner.xml into terminal I get "command not found". Similarly if I type ping hostname I get "cannot resolve hostname: Unknown Host"
i am trying to understand how to work in the connect fx mode, but one thing that seems to be completely eluding me is why the output going to my broadcast monitor (via Kona3) is showing only the output from the left window when in CFX (currently Connect FX schematic), and not the final video.
My mac screen has a 2 up view showing the CFX Schematic on the left and the CFX Result on the right.
Is there any way that i can use the two windows on the mac screen without affecting what is feeding the broadcast monitor? I really want a system that always shows me the final output on the broadcast monitor, with everything else happening on the mac screen.
I have footage that contains GS footage. I also have a graphic I want to put behind the two. I can achieve this with a vertical comp in my time line and the timeline axis effect. But when I try to connect the two with CFX I get an error and my footage looks wonky.

In the service monitor, the BackBurner is showing red - (tho the Manager is green) if I restart it goes green for a moment and then stops again.
I've also got a problem importing footage using 'Create Project Media' I get a message cannot connect to backburner manger on port -1.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

how to disable or hide or bypass the selected clips in timeline? I don't want to hide the whole tracks.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWell, over a minute and it feels like forever. Working Smoke 2013 EXT1 with mostly soft imported material. In the past the size of the librarys had much affect on this but with the new lay out I can't see a way to limit the libraries as they are always in the side pannel. Is collapcing them stopping that library from being included in the auto save? This is only a 20 min show but I do have 3 in here and expect to have 10 before it's all said and done.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI didnt see an auto adjust option in the gmask node, I can always use the hot key (classic smoke not FCP7 ha!) but I think its a nice feature to not have hidden.
Also having the context button in plain site not a right click would be nice too. Not a fan of the right click anything being a long time user of smoke and flame.
I've been trying to use the auto stabilize module on the desktop on a R3D clip that's at full 5K and I've been encountering some problems.
I can't seem to process the stabilization at anything higher than 1080p. But I need the extra info in the 5K in order to crop into the footage.
When I'm trying to analyze the footage, I'm getting the error: "Cannot read all frames required for the analysis"
So far I've tried:
-Caching the footage
-Converting the R3D to full 5K DPX and importing that
-Using proxies at 50% frame size and do the analysis on the proxies
So far nothing seems to be doing the trick, the proxy frames did go through the analysis, but when I applied the correction on the high-res the module gave me an error and crashed.
Is there a way to automatically export a timeline, wherein Smoke will render out image sequences for each shot with handles to separate directories on my filesystem? If so, this will save me a lot of time in online tomorrow.

This is based on prior work with Adobe Premiere and switching over to Smoke 2013...
since you were asking for feedback on the editor UI from Mac users...
a) is there a cut button that allows to cut a clip into two at the current marker positions? (e.g. to repeat certain elements)
b) is there an easy way to add extra frames at the beginning or the end of the clip by holding the first or last frame? (very important, but cannot find how to do this). Ideally this would just require dragging the beginning or end of the clip somehow...
c) There should be an easy option to add frames by extending the last or first frame in the case of transitions. Is there one? On Premiere, there's an option for this, makes it much faster to add transitions if there is limited movement in the source material
d) is there a way to auto stretch a clip on insert into the timeline to the selected region? time warp and frame-hold options (beginning, end, both)?
e) why is it not possible to drag clips back into the media hub on the left? (e.g. imported an AAF with a bunch of clips, now want to store some of the clips for later re-use in another timeline or part instead of having to keep it on the timeline)
f) the zooming into the timeline is cumbersome - is there a way to draw a rectangle to auto-zoom into that area? Premiere has a little scroller at the boom to select the zoom level. very useful.
g) for timeline zooming, could you support gestures on the MacBook touch pad? If you push two fingers apart, the timeline should horizontally zoom in. Two fingers together should allow to zoom out. This is actually not just for the timeline. We need this in all views in Connect FX, Action etc. Would make working so much quicker. And it's really standard Mac stuff. (Two fingers without pushing apart could enable panning? And/or space + mouse movement to pan?)
Is there any way to apply auto safe white/black point limiter to video and the same with audio?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to disable auto import.
I uncheck "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected" under Edit - preferences - Import. However, it rechecks itself when I close lightroom down. Then whenever I put in a storage device -- a memory card, external hard drive, flash drive, etc -- Lightroom starts up and wants to import from that device.
How do I prevent this?
I have read several forums about how to disable the auto-recovery feature. However, I don't want to disable the auto-recovery because I like that it saves my work in case of crash.
It's just annoying that every time I open Photoshop all those previous files auto open. Is there anyway to make it stop? I read that there is a file that you delete, but will that stop the auto-recovery feature?
