AutoDesk Smoke :: Import PSD Into CFX Schematic?

Nov 26, 2012

i can import the .psd using mediahub or desktop import or in action bin, i can use 'import' node. But i want to spot importing psd file directly from cfx schematic using 'read file' node in I/O tab. I will get one single file . I believe this node is containing multiple information (channels/layers). How can i extract the layers from that node ? how can i make this node usable since i can't make any connection to other node. Like in Nuke , there's a node named 'shuffle' which can extract or pull out a selected channel/layers from a single node. How to do this in cfx schematic ?

Talking about 'shuffle' node in Nuke. Is there any node similar to that? so the node not only can pull/extract channels but also can 'shuffle' or re-pipe the channel . For example pipe chan Red to chan Green, or Alpha to Red etc. What is the best way to do this ? do i have to use CC module ? any similar node in cfx schematic level?

AutoDesk Smoke :: Add Axis In GMASK Schematic

Mar 28, 2013

I'm in CFX in the Modilar Keyer. I loaded a setup previously with GMASKs previously applied on a HD shot. I now need to scale the GMASK for a 4K HD shot (200%). I was told to go in the GMASK schematic (the one that looks like action) and add a parent axis to move all the masks at once. WHen I'm in GMASK schematics I don't have access to a node bin. Where do I add an AXIS to parent all my masks in there?

AutoDesk Smoke :: MK Schematic And Slow Response In Viewer

Nov 30, 2012

I go to mk, connect my clip to a gmask , double click gmask to focus to that module. I switch to 2 viewport. The left is the schematic, the right is the F1 (front). First when i click the F1 viewport, i got no 'add' button for adding gmask. So i have to first go to view pulldown, just do some unecessary click there to refresh. Now after refreshing, i can see my 'add' button is showed up. But the second problem is : i can't immediately press that 'add' button, there's a lag about 5- 7 seconds before i can click that button.

Also i can switch from mk schematic to f1 or f4 quite fast, but sometime go from any of front/back/matte view back to the mk schematic, it will take 4-7 second even for simple/basic mk network/tree.

The problem won't appear when using single viewport.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Grab 1 Frame Inside CFX Schematic

Dec 20, 2012

In cfx, i have a source clip which i want to grab just 1 frame of it. So what is the best way to do it in term of efficiency ?

If i'm in timeline editing outside cfx then i can use alt-E and drag the clip to have a 1 frame copy. It's cool but how to do the same thing inside cfx ? i want to do it inside cfx schematic. Actually I can use a timewarp node or mux or maybe there's some other node that can do the same function. But is it gonna affect the speed of the whole tree ?

i'm comparing the two scenarios :
1. i did 1 frame grab in the editing then bring it into cfx
2. i bring the full source clip inside cfx and apply timewarp to get 1 frame to work with.

Is there gonna be different in speed ? if only single clip , i won't see any different. What i want to know : what is happening internally ? does the second scenario will eat up more processing ? If yes, then we need to feature to extract 1 frame inside cfx (just like in editing).

As an addition, in media bin, when i'm in editing module (outside cfx) , i can ctrl-E (cursor change to red icon) to grab 1 frame . But when i go to cfx then it won't work. ctrl-E in media bin won't do anything. It will be great to have that feature in cfx.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Result Node Inside Mk Schematic - Too Many Inputs

Nov 30, 2012

In the mk the final output has to be sent to the 'result' node. The weird thing why this node has 3 input ( fg , bg ,matte ) ? the single stream of the matte should make it work. Is there any good explaination ? In what condition we need to connect all the output ? if i connect the fg to other image/clip then when we go back to action, the fg of the related layer will be replaced. But why we want to replace the fg using mk?

AutoDesk Smoke :: Action Matte Output - Add Objects From Schematic To Object List?

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 :: Cannot Successfully Import Clips Via Gateway Import

Jan 21, 2012

I can tell you cannot Gateway Import from a drive that is Read-Only. The clip seems to work, it just says pending render, of course when you import a large number of files it always says pending render. Unfortunately it never actually finishes pending render, and will list as failed in Backburner.

So you can for instance think you have relinked an entire timeline and start doing a fair amount of work on it, but you will then be unable to send this large timeline to your flame like you think.

There is no god damned reason it should allow you to gateway import something that you cannot actually gateway import. All it would need to do is check if the drive is read only before it does it and give you an error message IN THE APPLICATION. Rather than everything looking fine, but then making you go tease the meaning out of this from backburner:

smk001 1896942624 swBIOSubJobServer.C:298 01/21/12:18:14:05.450 1896942624 swBIOAdapter.C:403 01/21/12:18:14:06.504 Cannot process tasks 0... in /var/tmp/WireJob/SubJob0.

Read-only file system on processing S+W server..The fact that the color correct house had randomly given me an NTFS drive this time didn't occur to me for quite awhile, since the last two were both macOS.

AutoDesk Smoke :: EXR Look Different On Import

Nov 14, 2011

I have RED footage which I exported as EXR. When I import them back in, they look exactly like the RED footage. But when I import the EXR in Fusion, export it back out, and then import that EXR into Smoke, it looks brighter, although I didn't change anything in Fusion. (when I compare the EXR from Smoke and the EXR from fusion in my finder on my desktop, they look exactly the same). So what is Smoke doing with the "foreign" exr on import?I was also playing with the LUT settings. I get a result which is close, but I need to be exact.

AutoDesk Smoke :: How To Import An AAF From Avid MC6

"Smoke cannot import the AAF file because it is either incompatible or unreadable:

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 :: Crashes In Library On XML Import From FCP

I'm new to Smoke and have an issue. Im importing an xml from FCP and Smoke crashes in the library. I'm taking a class @ FXPHD and the first class is an easy xml import reading the source media.

As soon as I load the xml into the clip library Smoke crashes. I've already gone thru the system set up requirements and have a great machine built to Smoke requirements. I'm wondering if it is a network configuration of some sort? Not sure...

AutoDesk Smoke :: Import AAF From Avid Symphony 6?

Aug 2, 2012

I am trying to import an AAF from Avid Symphony 6.

AAF is detected OK, when I try to import it gets stuck looking for sources. I have put the AAF files as close to the media as possible (1 folder up) as I do not want to put the AAFs in the MXF folder as it will upset the Avid.

I have simplified the AAF to have no speed changes, layers or effects - its a one layer cuts only sequence.

Smoke ends up not responding and I have to force quit.
