AutoDesk Smoke :: Removing Whole Project - Random Folder(s) Still In Media Storage Folder
Aug 22, 2012
Not sure if it's a bug or not but when removing a whole project the "random" folder(s) are still in the Media Storage folder. Everything connected to the project(s) are gone but not the random folder smoke creates when creating project files. Any specific reason their still in the Media Storage folder?
Im a bit of a neat-freak... After removing a whole project, is it safe to remove all the empty folders? Or would that cause problems for other projects?

Most every time I open a project I'm working on I get a Recovered Media folder in my default library. What is this media that's in this folder? Should I get rid of it or leave it?

In our enviroment we have an imaging server that is used to deploy Mac install images. I have successfully created one for our Smoke on Mac machine.
I would like to create a junction point or relocate the /hd/var/discreet folder to another drive. It would be nice to be able to refresh this machine at moments notice. It seems that this is one of the only points that need to be kept that reside on the local HD.

Few times already, deleted one media storage in smoke setup and tried to ad another one, and it doesn't want to add. every time i reload it's empty. Only work around is to to uninstall Smoke and install again and then to add new volume.

With Autodesk Smoke v6 and existing Media Storage with few projects inside, I've recently reinstalled my Mac OSX 10.8.2 system. I had to procedure clean reinstall.While installing back Smoke v6, I asked to choose Storage folder. I checked the existing one.When I start a software, I can't see any of my old projects.Seems like Smoke doesn't see it. So, how should I restore Autodesk Media Storage with all my projects inside?

I have one of the Promise R6 drive arrays that has failed on me but fortunately it hung in there long enough for me to back up all my data. My questions is once my new array shows up can I copy all the data onto the new drive with all the same folder hierarchy and will it all work fine with smoke again as if nothing changed?

I've heard it said that it's not a good idea to use your system disk as the media storage, but I've never heard why. I'm running on a Retina MBP with a 750GB SSD. I did a couple of small jobs using it as the media storage and everything worked fine and fast. Then I archive it off to a slower drive. So what's the problem with doing that? SSD is way faster than USB 3 spinning drives & even Thunderbolt. I read somewhere that SSD isn't good for high end video editing, etc., but don't understand why.

I would like to modify the 16-bit Float EXR compression for my Framestore / Media Storage. What is the syntax? I would like to use 16 bit half with Zip16 (16 scanlines).
I am currently using "floatVideo=EXR:ZIPS:16" and several variations with no success.

This is similar to something I have asked for before regarding managing media in remote/networked machines. But I can't find a way to delete media (individual clips or folders) from a nother project within my machine without switching to/loading up that project. At present in 2012 and as far back as I can remember I have had the ability to move and manage media withing other projects on the host machine as well as remote/networked machine.
Is there a button/preference I'm missing as this is integral to the workflow I use.

there is a Folder with MXF-Files on our Network that I am accessing trough the gateway. The folder contains 1600 Files. The Browser Display Options are set to Titles. Smoke needs approximately 20 Minutes to show the content of this folder. Every other software on the machine does this within one second. why that is and is there something I can do to speed it up?

I have 50 spots in a folder I need to archive. Do I have to open them individualy, select all and consolidate spot by spot? It feels like I should be able to click on a folder and consolidate everything in that folder?

My Smoke just crashed and there is the possibility of loosing all my projects. I have localized some files that I want to "recover" even if they are all scrambled. The problem is that these files seem to be single frames .mov files. If I try to import them to another Smoke they will be imported as single files and there are 6000 of them. How can I tell Smoke to treat the individual .mov files as a single sequence. I renumbered the files.

just installed a shiny new copy of 2013 on my workstation yesterday, and found that it would not let me specify a storage location as is outlined in various tutorials. i have worked out the way around it post installation, but was curious if this was unique to me. I previously had one of the pre-releases running, could this have affected anything? Or is this just one of the things with 2013 that doesn't quite line up with the tutorials that are around at the moment?

I just installed Smoke2013 without a problem! But I accidentally put the media storage in the main OS drive!! I want to use my Raid 0 drive. I unistalled it and delete all the autodesk folders and installed again but the setup program did't ask to use the other drive like the first installation!! It just used the main OS drive as before!!! How can I change the Media drive to another drive? Why when I unistalled Smoke and then re installed It didn't ask to select the media drive?

how LUT storage should work with Smoke 2013, but I think I'm seeing a bug.
I'm loading a LUT, able to using it as a monitor LUT and apply it to a clip, but when I reload the project, it loses the LUT path and I have to reload it. I've tried storing it on a network, and locally in the discreet folder. Is this a bug.

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.

Have just installed Windows LR4 trial, told it to Import files from my photo collection in a folder + subfolders on a network attached storage (NAS) unit. Windows Explorer tells me that there are 10,308 files in 408 folders in the main folder, totalling 38.8gb but on scanning the folder prior to import LR4 tells me that there are only 9,612 photos.
My photo collection folder contains only photos and no other file types.
Why is there this discrepancy ? I've searched around to see whether there is some hidden filter that is excluding certain photo files but cannot find anything of that nature.

I'm running Smoke 2012 on a fully loaded MBP. I'm having problems exporting QTs. Constantly get this error:
Cannot get local IFFFS wiretap server's storage id: Connection refused.
I have to do a full power cycle, then maybe it will work. This used to be an occasional occurrence, but now happens almost every time, unless I've only just powered up. Once Smoke has been running for a few minutes, forgetaboutit. I never have this problem when I can use the Export button; but this button is greyed out when QT is selected, which means it has to be dropped into the queue, then exported from the background page. Perhaps this is where the issue lies.
