AutoDesk Smoke :: Lost Render File When Creating Subclip Or Dragging

Feb 24, 2013

I have a multi layer in my timeline , full graphic motion and long render. The base layer (layer 1) is a SOLID LAYER.

1. i select all that segment (multi layer) that has been rendered (yes, it's rendered). Now i drag it into my desktop (thumbnail view), but what happen is new clip is unrendered. So i have to re-render that clip. Why ?

2. i select all that layer, and collapse it ( contain selected). It collapse into a single clip but also i lost my render in my container. why ?

3. i mark in/out and create subclip. again i got the subclip but it's unrendered.

4. i mark in/out and drag into other timeline (same setting). and the pasted segment has no render file.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Duplication When Dragging CFX Onto Other One

Jul 6, 2012

Steps:

1) create a CFX

2) drag the CFX in the time line from one clip to another without CFX

Observed Result:

You seem to get the CFX tree, but possibly inserted twice into the new CFX on the target clip.

Desired Result:

CFX tree should only be copied once into the new clip.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Sensitivity Control While Dragging Clip

Nov 22, 2012

what i like in fcp, i can easily doing cut very fast, because the clip is not 'sticky'. So i can grab the clip and move and i got a very 'light' drag. The timeline is more 'slippery' ... i don't know how to say it. The drawback is : it's sometime become too sensitive so i can easily by accident move the cut and mess up the edit. I become paranoid , so i have to hold my breath while clicking :-) . But again the pros : it's easy to do fast edit or to crumble cuts around.

In the other hand .. what i like in smoke , this will rarely happen that i accidentally move the clip while i intend to click it. It's more 'sticky' to the timeline. So there's like more friction while try to drag the clip (only when first click/drag the clip not when the clip is already floating). The drawback is sometime i feel , it's hard to do some fast cut just by moving the clip around. :-) well, as usual, if we have 2 options, option A and option B, then we will tend to ask : do i have option C ( somewhat between A and B) ?

I'm asking is there any sensitivity control while i drag the clip. So it's between FCP and SMOKE. Something like a 'treshold' parameter.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Dragging Embedded Alpha Image Into Action

Nov 28, 2012

I got single clip in desktop and it got an alpha embedded. If i drag that clip into the cfx , the clip will be interpreted correctly where alpha will be recognized. The problem in action is when i drag into action schematic, the alpha is ignored Smoke should know if there's alpha embedded then by default it should use it. ANother problem is when in media list , i add new media then click the clip twice (to grab F and M from the same clip), the result : i got blank alpha. Again it should load the alpha while there's alpha embedded . I think , this should become the dafault behaviour to deal with alpha. Although loading this clip in cfx schematic will solve the problem, i think the action still need to be fixed.

Also it should be cool feature if i can drag the clip from library and drop it in media list , and it will replace the media of the selected item in media list.

AutoDesk Smoke :: How To Increase Render Speeds

Jun 2, 2013

What can I do to increase render speeds? I'm getting about 400mbps on my raid. I've got a good gfx card, a ton of ram, but smoke just doesn't seem to take advantage of any of it. Watching my cpu/gpu cycles while rendering it always shows that I am using less than 25% of both. Is there a way to tell it to use everything I've got, I know in nuke, and resolve you can do something like this.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Changing Timeline Render Format

Jun 14, 2012

It seems that you can only decide on your intermediary at the point of first setting up the project? Is this true? Wouldn't it be a good (very good?) idea to be able to change this once you have embarked upon the project? It seems to me that you might want to use the ProRes codec when you are cutting and messing about with your project and then switch to DPX when you want to be careful about the quality of the render files?

Thus you may want to be creative in the render-room saving ProRes format when you can build up lots of decisions, but then switch finally over to the DPX format when you are closing in upon the final project. The current system (unless I have missed something) means that one you have chosen your intermediary render format, you are stuck in that project in that format?

TO mention Liquid for the second time today, you used to be able to right click in the timeline and switch the timeline render format (everything from dv to uncompressed). It could take any codec, frame rate and frame size but then you could decide and change your mind on the render format that you wished to use.

AutoDesk Smoke :: How To Render Only Specific Frames Of A Sequence

Mar 18, 2013

Is there a way for me to output certain in and out points instead of a whole sequence. I have a long clip and only want a small section of it, where in Smoke 2013 can I input the in and out points I want rendered? I can't see it in CFX and If I mark an In and Out point on the timeline it still renders the whole clip.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Cache Sources Pending Render?

Oct 1, 2013

I have a 45min show with hundreds of edits in it. A mix of ProRez LT, Intra P2 (brought in ProRez proxy) and H264 5D footage. My intention was to relink all my Intra footage with the RAW and simply import the rest for online but have run into several issues. I'll make a different post outlining my steps and questions on how I've gotten here but my emidiate issue is after consolidating and cacheing all sources material of my master sequesnce, I have pending renders, how to get rid of. Also, all my source material in the sequesnce appears to be still be pointing to the original location and not the cached media.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Optimizing Render Engine In 3D Action

Nov 27, 2012

I don't know what the correct name in Smoke but ussually in Nuke it's called ROI (Region of Interest) , ROI define which area that need to be rendered and which area/pixel which will be ignored to optimize render time. How can i deal with this in Smoke ? For example in 3d space in action module, i put a lot of layers (floating in 3d space) using hires still images (above 4k x 4k). All the layer is put outside the frame (frame size is hd 1920) so they're not visible. The screen is actually blank ( no object is visible at all) . But unbelievable... the render took forever ! Definitely , something need to be fixed.

In Nuke , if the objects are not 'in-frame' then they will be ignored even when i got many super hires images, the render will still be very fast . It won't calculated the 'garbage' objects.

AutoDesk Smoke :: Flush Render Can Affect Multiple CFX

Mar 12, 2013

Here to reproduce the bug :apply cfx to a clip. Open cfx and add any fx , for example in my test , i use blur. I then right click the blur node and choose 'create cfx'. I select the cfx and render it. exit cfx to timeline. In timeline i copy/paste or duplicate the clip. So now we have 2 identical clip. Bring the duplicate to the desktop and right click and choose flush render. Now the problem that the flush render, i expect, won't affect the master (original) file. But in fact , it will wipe out the render inside the original clip. Now open the original cfx clip and inspect that the cfx node has lost the render file. This is pretty serious problem. In complex cfx, we can accidentally delete render file and need to spend 'expensive' time to re-render.
