How do i move a keyframe in time without changing any of its x,y,z parameters?
and Can i have different interpolations for individual keyframes on the same parameter? (so i can ramp a move into a keyframe, then continue out at a linear interpolation)?
Is it possible to move keyframes in the timelime or do I have to go into the animation curves menu to do it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a segment with 25 frame handles with CFX applied. It also has a time warp added in the timeline. When I try and extend the handles at the head of the shot it slips all the key frames within the CFX. This happens regardless of whether I set the KFM box to 'Shift' or 'Pin'.

Problem: You have to manually go into each Mux node and puts them to repeat the last frame.
Solution: It should be possible to select multiple equal nodes, and change any parameter contextually, all at once, like any other graphic soft that i know. Another thing, these values must accept simple mathematical functions, i.e. : +10, -15, * 20...
Is there a way without grouping nodes to move several at the same time in action?
Having to group nodes just to rearrange the layout is too slow.
Is it possible to delete a keyframe from the Sequence timeline using a hotkey, similar to ALT-[ in the editor?

Normally i can see the big 'cross' icon which represent the position of current track data, but in case where the cross has been shifted out then i have no clue about the current keyframe.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI seem to recall that it is possible to call up a large grey box with info regarding the clip that you hover the mouse above? I have tried to use”/” (key next to shift), but it seems to relate to contextual stuff in ConnectFX. I tried to change the hotkey, but the result is the same..?
Framerates: When I import a DPX, ProRes etc. sequence I can change the different parameters through “resize” which works really great, but I can’t change the framerate. Often I just want to playback a DPX sequence @ 25 frames/sec. instead of 24. Is this possible without using “TmeWarp”?
How do I set the animation graph in Axis FX to show only those parameters that have been modified ? Currently takes me a while to locate the parameters that I want to tweak.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI come from the FCP world. When I edit, my clips don't change speeds just bc they are placed in a certain area of the timeline.
In SMOKE 2013 they do. I want to turn off that feature if its possible.
When I extend a clip Id like it to stop when its done and not keep stretching itself as long as I keep pulling it so that it time warps. Same when I trim a clip. Id like for it to trim not time warp to fit to its new shorter length.
My timeline has all sorts of sped up and slowed down clips.

Is there a way to add and remove time warps that changes the length of the clip itself?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Does Smoke have the ability to do one level of color correction without having to process?
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs it my imagination or did smoke use to do this:
Enter a time code simply by starting to type using the keypad. The period (dot) key should give you 00.
This works if you click on the clip time code, but if I just start to type using the keypad, I get a hash before the frame number instead of a : and on hitting enter nothing happens.

Today I was messing around with import. Tried to pull in 100GB of footage and found it took nearly 1hr 45 mins over USB3. I know the slow speed was down to the rubbish hard drive I was pulling from but it would have been really useful to know that it was going to take 1hr 45mins. I could've gone to the pub!
We get a time estimate on backburner importing? I also wanted to check that smac 2013 isn't throttled anywhere on import speeds? I know that smoke all the way up to 2010 vsn was throttled so that you would never get import as fast as your disks could go.
Is it possible to use the Timearp function in the same way as Time Remapping in AE?
I just watched Grants video for a third time and it doesn't really touch on this kind of time manipulation.
specifically i need to add keyframes at specific events then be able to move those keyframes to match up with other moves on a different video layer, and have the "time" between the two keyframes react accordingly.
does smoke have a feature to do 'time offsetting' ? in connect fx (not in action), i have a clip and applied some fx node like blur , CC etc. Now i want to offset or slip the network (media and fx nodes), so not only the media but also all the keyframes from all the fx node. Can i do this ? i use foundry Nuke where this can be done easily. How about in smoke ? So maybe like attaching a 'timeoffset' node to the network.
View 1 Replies View Relatedeach time I force quit Smoke with the service monitor in a project when I open the same project after it takes several time to load the clips (EDITDESK: LOADING CLIPS). Sometimes the project just didn't open and stay on the EDITDESK: LOADING CLIPS screen.
There's something I'm doing wrong or my project is totally corrupt ?

I imported a Final Cut sequence via XML into Smoke. The media is 1080p25 ProRes 422 HQ and is located on our SAN. I need to do some green screen work. I have two clips and an Axis effect on the upper clip.
Adjusting the keyer and scrubbing that segment of the timeline is painfully slow so I want to copy just the two clips I am working on, to the local storage.
Is there a way to do this directly from the timeline? I only want what's in the timeline. Not the whole length of the original media.
I have a sequence that's 2 and a half minutes long, but my final edit is 2 minutes. I want to change the duration to 2:05 so I can export out various versions.

I would like to be able to switch between full-resolution, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16ths etc... (with one setting for playback and another, separate setting for still image/paused frames) e.g. via a right click on a clip/player.
PS Just like in Redcine-X or Adobe Premiere or AE...
I drew a Gmask with 4 points and broke the handles. My questions is:
1. How do I know when 2 or more points are exactly on the same vertical or horizontal line?
2. How do i get them to align?
3. How do I move 2 or more points together? (Control select and drag)?
I'm doing a simple 3D text move in Action and I want to layer it on top of my timeline. After rendering the layers in the timeline, it seems that my matte is messed-up (see attached).

Also, CFX clip not working. When I try and make a CFX clip it's just black frames.
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.

I have a QT at 14.97 fps. By default Smoke imports it as 25 fps and so changes the duration.
Can I either import it without changing duration or change once it's in?
I have a timeline that is 16:9 and I'd like to crop it to 2:33.1. So going from 2048 x 1152 to 2048 x 878. How can I do this and maintain my edits and it let me pan and scan each clip so I have the best frame?
I can apply a resize in the timeline but this doesn't change the resolution of the timeline itself so I'm left with a letterbox in a 16:9 frame.
What am I missing to this simple process?
I go to grab an axis and move it, and the cursor is offset. See the movie.cursor_offset.mov
