Missed NAB this year? Find out what people were asking about Autodesk Smoke.<\/h2>\n

\"Smoke<\/a><\/p>\n

During this year\u2019s NAB Show, Autodesk<\/strong> invited me to Las Vegas to demo how I use Smoke. Click here<\/a> to see my stage demonstration and see an editorial breakdown using Smoke and ConnectFX.<\/p>\n

After the demo, people came up to me with questions. Here are the top questions I was asked with my answers<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. I use Adobe CS6.\u00a0 How can Smoke work for me?<\/h3>\n

This was one of the biggest surprise questions I received over the week.\u00a0 When Smoke 2013 was debuted as a Pre-Release Trial after NAB 2012, most of the people interested were coming from Final Cut Pro 7.\u00a0 What a difference a year makes. It appears that many FCP7 users have moved over to Adobe, but something about the multi-app Adobe workflow isn\u2019t satisfying them. They find the all-in-one editing and effects workflow of Smoke very appealing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I explained how the MediaHub<\/strong> imports, and how you can organize your footage in the Media Library<\/strong> with it\u2019s hierarchy of Libraries, Folders, and Sub-Folders<\/strong>.\u00a0 The people I talked to liked the Tabbed Timeline<\/strong> workflow and the editorial operations was something they could easily see and were comfortable with.\u00a0 It was when I started to show them how ConnectFX<\/strong> works and how easy it was to add effects to clips in the timeline that they really became interested.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For the subset of editors that do more than just edit. Smoke\u2019s timeline effects and node-based effects seemed to be just what they were looking for.\u00a0 Working in the editorial and simultaneously working with effects for look creation, transitions and even motion graphics allows them to tell their story the way they want.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. What hardware can I use with Smoke?<\/h3>\n

\"\"Smoke runs in any of the current Mac computer systems. As well as the circa 2011 systems.\u00a0 At the Autodesk Booth, Smoke was running on 27\u201d iMacs<\/strong> and on a MacBook Pro<\/strong>.\u00a0 The stage demo was running on a MacPro<\/strong> tower.\u00a0 All of the systems were running Nvidia<\/strong> GPUs, but Smoke also works fine with older ATI<\/strong> graphics.\u00a0 There is a known issue with the Color Warper Node in CFX with certain ATI cards.\u00a0 This appears to have been fixed under OSX 10.8.3<\/strong>.\u00a0 However, 10.8.3 is currently under evaluation and not 100% certified. However, users are reporting that Smoke is running without issue. In fact, there seems to be a speed boost in processing with the GPU using ATI cards as well as the Color Warper fix.<\/p>\n

Smoke was also shown with the Avid Artist Series<\/strong> control panel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At the show Smoke was using the AJA ioXT<\/strong> for broadcast monitoring as well as the Kona3<\/strong>, but the biggest news was that Autodesk and Blackmagic Design announced a technology collaboration<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 Nothing was shown using Blackmagic hardware for IO, but the announcement states that \u201cthe ongoing work between Blackmagic Design and Autodesk will include the testing and development of integrated workflows between Autodesk technology and Blackmagic Design\u2019s PCIe and Thunderbolt based desktop video capture and playback products including the Decklink, UltraStudio & Intensity product lines.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What does this mean? Well, during the Pre-Release trial users wanted to work with Smoke and DaVinci Resolve<\/strong> and use their existing BlackMagic Design cards.\u00a0 Looks like Autodesk was listening and are working to make that a reality.\u00a0 I hope we see this sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0After Effects has 3D support with Element 3D and Cinema 4D.\u00a0 Can Smoke work with 3D objects?<\/h3>\n

Smoke has always worked in true 3D Space inside the Action Node<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 With Action, you can create 3D text, custom bevels, and individual texturing for Front\/Bevel\/Back.\u00a0 Smoke also support the import of .obj (including sequences), FBX, Alembic, and 3DS models.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I was showing people how you can use the models from Element 3D<\/a><\/strong> and import them into Smoke with embedded textures.\u00a0 The Video Copilot Metropolitan Design Pack<\/a><\/strong> imports great into Smoke with full textures that realistically react to day\/night lighting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When you set the lights in Smoke to negative intensity the building lights illuminate due to the embedded Emissive and Specular Map Textures<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The FBX import also brings in any Lights and Cameras including animations.\u00a0 The Lights inside Action are the same light available in Maya.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Is there training available for Smoke?<\/h3>\n

\"\"Yes. Lots of it.\u00a0 And most of it FREE<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 Autodesk has really focused on making it easy for people to learn Smoke.<\/p>\n

Editors coming from other NLE\u2019s will find many of the features of Smoke easy to grasp.\u00a0 Others, mainly Node Based Effects and Compositing, might be new to them and knowing how Smoke \u201cthinks\u201d will go a long way to maximizing it\u2019s potential.<\/p>\n

Ripple Training has released 2 hours of FREE Smoke Videos<\/a> for download.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Autodesk has created about a hundred videos from the very basic first steps, to more advanced videos explaining Keying and inter-op with Mocha Pro. You can find all of these videos on the Smoke Learning Channel on YouTube<\/a><\/strong> and they are available on iTunes as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Smoke-training.com<\/a><\/strong> has easy to follow videos clearly explaining many of Smoke\u2019s features.\u00a0 Power user Joel Osis’<\/strong> videos<\/a> are a bit more for the intermediate user, and really highlights how to do some of the more VFX centric tasks in Smoke like complex keying and tracking techniques.<\/p>\n

Digital Tudors<\/a><\/strong> and FXPHD.com<\/a><\/strong> both provide a series of low cost training videos.<\/p>\n

5. So, what\u2019s new in Smoke 2013?<\/h3>\n

This is a hard question to answer.\u00a0 NAB didn’t show anything new from what is currently available to users.\u00a0 But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t ongoing development.\u00a0 Smoke was officially released in December 2012 after a 6 month and 6 version Public Pre-Release Trial.<\/p>\n

Between December and NAB 2013 there have been 2 Service Packs for Smoke.\u00a0 Service Pack 1 was small, but Service Pack 2 addressed over 63 bugs and workflow issues<\/strong>.\u00a0 It was unfortunate that there wasn\u2019t something new to see at NAB, but I know from being part of the beta-group, that there is ongoing development..it just wasn\u2019t ready to show at NAB.\u00a0 Rumor has it that you should see a new release soon<\/em>.\u00a0 If you want a bit of a hint as to what you might experience, check out the Flame-Users Group Video from NAB.<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0 If you listen and look closely you might see a few new things and get a sense of the scope of the release.\u00a0 So potentially 3 updates within 5-6 months seems to reveal that Autodesk is serious about making Smoke a solid product for the Mac platform.<\/p>\n
