Hi guys! I have troubles in smac 2013sp2 with 4K and timeline softFX. For example, if I will apply CC or any different FX on timeline - smoke or show gray screen or hanging, and this project will not work more at all((( If I will apply ConnectFX and will add CC or any FX inside connectFX - everything fine. Please, check it on your systems with new!!! project with color noise for example.

In flpr 2013.2.2 everything good.

If you have troubles in mac version too and your machine hang, reboot and kill this new project))

Hi.
What are your Mac’s specs? How much RAM do you have? Is the “Reserved Application Memory” in the Smoke Setup app set to “Automatic”?

Thanks!
robert.

I tested on several machines:
1. MacPro 2xXеоn, 32RAM
2. MacBookPro 15 Retina 8 Ram

in setup - “automatic”

In all machines, everything working fine except 4k with timeline fx. And I’ll repeat - inside connect FX the same FX working good.

You did test with color noise or real shot in 4k and don’t have troubles? Or why you asking about config?

Trouble that I can play 4k dpx 10bits in realtime without any troubles (macpro attached to quick storage), but can’t conform (((( ‘cause timeline FXs not working in my case.

Hi.

Yes, the reason I asked about your RAM is that I tried this on my 2010 MacBook pro with 8GB of RAM and a low-end GeForce 330M graphics card and it worked (see attached screenshot).
What Graphics card are your computers using? And which of the 4K formats are you using?

Regards,
Robert.

I used 4k dpx 10bits and colornoise generated in project with default raster - 4k 10bit (16 for cg processing), in settings of project - legacy setup. I tested with geforce 650, 650m, 690. Today or tomorrow will have chance to try with quadro 4000. Versions of Smoke - 2013sp2 and 2013sp1, it was trial version, ‘cause we just testing new setup)

I just tried this again with a 10-sec noise clip in a 10-bit 4K (3840x2160) project with legacy intermediates and more timeline effects and it still didn’t crash.

Let’s see if there’s info in the logs about why it crashed:

1. Open Finder.
2. Press Command+Shift+G
3. Enter “/usr/discreet/log” in the dialog that opens and press enter. This will take you to the logs folder.
4. Organize the files by date and find the files ending in app.log and shell.log from the time of the crash.
5. 2click those files to open them in the Console app and see if there were any error messages before the crash.

Regards,
Robert.
