AutoDesk Smoke :: Split Screen / Viewer In Conform Module?
Apr 1, 2013
i'm trying to link my edl with the correct clips. So when i got a green check icon , indicating that smoke have found the matched clip. But before i link it i just want to make sure that it's the correct clip. So in the bin, the clip is highligted and i double click it to open it up in the viewer. The problem the viewer split control is disabled so i can't do split screen to match that clip with the guide/offline (in the edl sequence i've inserted the guide movie). all i can see i have to link it first then go back to timeline and now i can view in split screen.

I'm currently trying to conform an XML from FCP 7 into Smoke 2012 (Linux). The issue I have is that the files I want to conform with are MFX, however the files used in the FCP timeline are PRORES, therefore have a '.mov' extension. This means the Smoke is not seeing the MXF files due to the extension & the only way around it I have found, is to edit all of the '.mov' extensions to '.mxf' extensions in the actual XML. This works well, but is a complete nightmare, particularly as I'll have to do this for 13 half hour episodes!!!!
I have tried all the different combinations of Filename, Timecode, Tape, etc, but none work due to other metadata issues from the filming of the footage to it being delivered to our edit suites!!!!
Any way of making the Smoke ignore the file extension?

Now that Smoke 2013 PR3 has conforming tools again, I'd like to run the following questions by you before I look at producing more training videos on conforming for the Smoke Learning Channel.
In the legacy Smoke 2012 videos, I showed a workflow for working with RED R3D using Final Cut Pro 7 and QT proxies going to Smoke 2012 using the original R3D media. Would you still consider this valid and should I do the same again ?
There are quite a few variations and you already know so I am interested in your workflows so that I can make videos addressing them and the questions that will come up during this process.

I just tried to conform an aaf file which gave me lots of trouble before and with the new conform tools it worked really well. Nice, I really like the way they work.BUT:after fixing missing links and some stuff I went to the timeline to have a look at the edit. There were still some unlinked edits so I wanted to go back to the conform tab to fix this and Smoke instantly crashed.
I cannot go back to the conform tab with this edit without crash. I have to admit, that the aaf is probably very crappy and not well prepared but thats real life and smoke shouldnt crash.If I make a new sequence I can go to the conform tab. If I select the edit again and try to go to the conform tab I will crash again...
UPDATE:it only crashes if the timeline is set as record timeline (red)

Is there any way i can see which one is my current keyframe ? in the viewer i got a tracking data (path), but when i scrub the time, i'm lost... i don't know which one is the current keyframe. 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.

This is not a YUV headroom issue just to be clear and Im not looking at a broadcast output. Using my Eizo monitor with smoke I just did a color correction and exported a prores 422 hq with and with out yuv headroom. What Im noticing is that the color of the image in the smokes viewer is more saturated than the output which is being viewd in qt 7 and whatever the other qt is. Im not talking fine details here, Im talking about whoa whats going on with this isnt remotley close to being in the same ballpark. In short when I tab over to the qt file and shrink it and place it side by side by what is in the smokes viewer they do not match on the same monitor.

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.

Is it possible to lock the CFX output to the broadcast monitor so that I can see the changes I make on the image in the broadcast monitor while working in the 1-up view? This way the CFX schematic can fill my 23 inch computer screen. So far i have only been able to do that with the 2-up, etc views. As soon as I switch to the 1-up view or swipe to the left while in 2-up view (which switches it back to the 1-up) the broadcast monitor shows whatever I am working on be it schematic or other.
When I am in the 2-up view and I lock the right part of the 2 up view to the broadcast monitor I usually maximize the left view to fill the screen. It however does not fully fill the screen and keeps the right view scaled to a very small size on the right.

Somehow on it's incarnation to Smoke 2013 a core functionality of editing is lost.
I cannot drag'n drop any footage from the viewer into the TL by F-drag or Pen-tip anymore. This has been working in previous versions of Smoke and makes an NLE an intuitive experience, especially if you are coming from a FCP/PremierPro background. I'm sure this is a typical alpha build loss.

in action schematic i can select any surface and press 'solo' , i can see the output on viewer. This is very cool feature. But if i switch the surface to other surface/image then the viewer won't update properly. I have to refresh by click to turn off and on again the 'solo' button. This will be great if the auto update is fixed.

How can I copy the timecode from the clip in my viewer, and jump to that point in another clip?
I use this often to compare the same point in time for an offline to online clip. I can open the timecode input window, and manually enter the timecode from one clip to another, but I can't seem to find the copy and paste commands that will use that timecode as the input.

there is a little bit of a "Play Lag" or Pause just after hitting Play. Afterwards it works fine. is just the beginning. Even on a Very Fast Computer with all resolutions even on Pro Res LT.
Also when I press "L" more than once, everytime I press it there's the pause or lag before changing speed.

We have a SAN network that is several folders deep where we put all our project files. I see that there is a short cut that saves with User or Project in the network module. But it doesn't work!! At least for me. I had this work a few versions back but it wasn't consistent, which was weird.

Is it possible to do a break in the 3D text module from action? Or do I have to create 2 3D text, if I want to have text in different lines?

When I use Paint module with Graphics menu, I get bad edges randomly on the image in action. The default setting of Anti-aliasing in paint module is 4 now, and I have tried to change the value from 4 to 1, 1 to 4. the only differences are the amount of, position of bad edges.
I also tried to check the "Divide" function in the media-list, but it gets from specific colour to white. I only want to take the bad edges away from the image.

I have been attempting expressions to link to letters and/or words within the Text module but it doesn't seem to work. I just watched both of Grant's tutorials on expressions and I can make expressions within Action but not in the Text module.
I will copy a value and try to use the "Link" button to "attach" it to another value and no luck. No "e" shows up in the channels. I can copy and paste the values to other channels but using the Link button does not do anything.

I have a black bar on the top half of my screen when i render on the timeline after leaving CFX. when I enter CFX everything looks good, but once I am on the timeline I can't se the top half of my footage. This happened when I applied aliasing to the shot, but remained once I removed it. Also when i applied 4xHWAA My entire screen gets blacked out. This also crashes the smoke when rendering.

A project that I will soon start is a two-screen projection composed of 2 HD screens.
I wonder if it's possible to set up Smoke 2013 to output 2 HD streams simultaneously in split mode - one half of a timeline goes to one screen, and the other half goes to the other.
If it is possible, what kind of hardware would this setup require?

What exactly should I click to view Channel editor full screen or in a resizable view port?
Currently it is displayed at the bottom put of the UI only and it is not possible to do anything on such a small view of the editor....
Brian Mulligan wrote in this blog:"If you hold SHIFT and double-click in a numeric field that has a keyframe set, then the Channel Editor will open up full screen at the top of the UI and switch to 1 up view. The numeric field you clicked on will be highlighted and framed."
Where is "numeric field that has a keyframe set" actually located?
When I shift and double-click on the numeric field in "Channel hierarchy" (on the left of the Animation curve window) a CALCULATOR pops up.

To hide the top menu bar and use the application in full screen, you must specify this setting in the Smoke Setup utility, which is found in the Smoke 2013 folder. In the Smoke Setup utility, under the General tab, set the Menu Bar option to no. When you hide the top menu bar, certain options, exclusive to the top menu bar appear at the bottom right of the screen. You must restart Smoke after making the change for it to take effect.
why but it feels to much more like a real application again! Hadnt realised just how much I disliked menu bars until now.Now how do I create some color bars?

How can I attach text to a logo that moves from one side of the screen to the other so that the text follows the logo or vice versa? Can one insert a logo into the text module? Or will action have to be used?

I have greenscreen footage, where a green screen was put on a window with tracking markers. A person is moving in front of it, so you can see the reflection. If I just key it and put a garbage mask around it, I can get rid of the green and the tracking markers, but how can i get the reflections back now? Cause if I just screen the original desaturated part back on, you can still see the tracking markers.... Is the only way to first paint over the markers and then screen it back on, or is there another way? I'm on Smoke for mac 2012.

After exporting a processed image from lightroom to jpg (sRGB) the image color looks different in the imageviewer.
The first obvious question would be: am I using a calibrated screen?
I do my regular calibration profile with x-rite i1Display2. This profile is set to default for the Win7.
The image viewer is IrfanView with color management enabled, and the same profile set.
The image in IrfanView is more colourful. So the precisely set colours in Lightroom now shows slight over saturation in the viewer.

I just loaded Gimp 2.8 from 'ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp' with the idea of using the 'all-in-one' new arrangement. I am using Mint 13 Maya and the new gimp interface is not yet in the repository.
That said, having opened the 'new' gimp I see the docks arrangement is a bit different. Whereas there used to be two docks one on either side of the drawing area, now the right hand dock is split screen.
The problem is that just for say the colour wheel it uses loads of screen space. I know I can toggle between 'all-in-one' and multi-mode but they both have a split screen for the docks on the right.
I don't see any obvious way to move the colour wheel dock back to where it has been under the toolbox and brushes docks.
Maybe this is a fixed arrangement in 2.8, if so I will have to go back to my Mint 13 native version.

I have autocad 2000i and can't open two drawings on the same screen. The book I am reading currently is autocad 2002: no experience required. In the book it as to open the drawing that I am currently working on and a new drawing after, then choose window>tile vertically. That doesn't seem to work for me. Also, when I click on window ther is only the active file on list instead of two or others that I have previously opened. I think I am stuck. Maybe there is something to change in the options for the allowance of more than one file to be on the list so then it would become possible to allow a split screen of two different drawings.
FIGUERED IT OUT! tool>options>system>single-drawing compatability unchecked.

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.
