I'm trying to see why one of my test machines won't export (never shows any submitted jobs under the jobs tab.) Through several other posts, oftentimes the user is asked to check the back burner web page. (localhost/backburner.) I must be doing something wrong, but I'm unable to access anything this way. I've tried all possible names for my localhost. ie. comp name, ip address, etc. I just get a 404 not found error.

I 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 just imported a bunch of 4k clips via the gateway using the backburner. Is it normal that it took about 2 minutes per frame to render? I had 36 clips, 53 000 frames in total, and it took about 8 hours to get them all in (with store local copy and proxies turned on).

I started a new project and for some reason I can no longer send footage to backburner to crate proxies.
After dragging my AVC-Intra clips onto the folder in media hub I get a quick message in the bottom left corner that basically says that smoke cannot connect to backburner on port 0.
I can ping localhost and also backburner via the terminal with no issues, its just that Smoke cannot "see it". No jobs show up in the backburner manager.

if you download and install with only WI-FI on. you get one MAC adress... then if you connect your macbookpro with a Thunderbolt->Ethernet adapter, you want this to be first in the list for fastest connection. Then Smoke will not export (backburner fails)
If you remove the adapter so that Wi-fi is the only one. Well then everything works...
Ok, so I'm new to this and for some reason I can't enter Backburner web monitor. I used to but al the sudden I can't instead I get this message:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /backburner on this server.
And when exporting I just get partial films, about 80% of the film. Any clues?
I've tried to export from Smoke 2013 and it tells me i can't connect to BackBurner Manager.
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 RelatedEvery time I try to connect to adobe.com I always arrive on the Autodesk Tool with Backburner and WiretapCentral page.
I can used each browser I own it still the same. I try to flush cookies everywhere and it's the same.
It looks like the page adobe.com (YES) is redirect to a local page from Autodesk.(only [URL])
I try to do the same in an other user account on my mac, and it is the same.
So I look in the activity monitor to locate if an Autodesk thing is on. I isolate BackburnerManager and BackburnerServer, on. (Smoke is off)I tried to hard quit them but I couldn't
Static network, static IP address on fixed machine. Stable install been used every day for over 2 years. Come in this morning and backburner server fails to launch. Network functional as usual, checked all the usual culprits and no joy. Reinstalling SP4 now to see if that repairs links.

10.) direct output for H.264 for blu ray that we can use directly in Encore (or do we have that?)
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.
All the footage is available, but backburner starts rendering and the stops just before 100%. So I have a bunch of clips on idle, and there are most of the time only 2 frames missing.... why is that? Can I consider the job done and delete it out of the backburner?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhile I'm waiting on a BackBurner cache...
After doing these caches, my system goes into a weird cycle where the mouse pointer goes invisible for 2-3 seconds, about every 15 seconds or so. Both within Smoke, and even in the Mac OS - the only thing that fixes it is a system reboot. Big PITA when cache-ing from lots of different sources drives, so lots of cache-batches.
How to be able to EJECT a drive from Smoke without quitting the app, and even then, I still have to FORCE EJECT more often than not. I've quit and restarted this project dozens of times to change out source media USB3 drives. Wasn't so bad when you could daisy chain FW drives, but I can only connect one USB3 drive at a time on my 2011 MacPro.

I'm on PR5 and up until today backburner has been working fine. For some reason its stopped. here is the error message from the file I'm trying export:

Backburner doesn't seem to work properly for me in the release version. I cannot export file sequences as backburner sticks on waiting. I can however export Quicktimes fine.

I know that the AJA Kona 3 card has 2 outputs. Can Smoke send one eye to one channel and the other eye to the other of the Kona 3 card? Dual Stream output is what I am really getting at.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes Smoke have selection functionality similar to that of Combustion? As an example, you might want to selectively blur part of an image. In Combustion, you would draw a selection and then apply an operator above the selection to achieve this. I don't see a similar selection tool function in Smoke, but I imagine you could achieve the same effect by duplicating a layer and using a Gmask via the Wipe timeline FX.does Smoke not have a selection tool similar to Combustion?

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.
