Re: Smoke & FCP....
by Dan Labute on May 6, 2008 at 11:31:02 pm

Hi Dan,

A couple of answers / clarifications:

Smoke 2009 (just released) is a continuation of our effort to improve the all-important FCP-Smoke workflow to allow Smoke to "take-over" an FCP timeline without duplicating media and without generation loss. The two aspects we focused on in v2008 were to improve codec support, and extend the metadata compatibility. The road is still a bit bumpy but manageable once you learn the ropes.

Specifically on the codec front, we added the ability to soft-import (link to) external QT and P2 MXF files without importing and consuming space on your storage. Native XDCAM support is not yet available. ProRes support is also not included simply because Apple refuses to open up support for their codec.

Finally regarding rendering performance, you may want to ask your salesman about Burn (Smoke's background renderer) ... which allows you to continue working while your complex timeline renders out.

HTH,

Dan Labute
