Crash-Record and Live Output
Autodesk Smoke allows you to capture a live video signal or crash-record a clip by using a tablet pen or a
mouse to start and stop the clip input or output process. When you choose this form of capture, Autodesk
Smoke checks the available space on your Autodesk Media Storage device to determine the available
space, which varies depending on your preferred intermediate format.
Also, if you are using a device that does not support remote control via RS-422, such as a camera, VCR, or
any other device, use the Live NTSC or PAL option to capture, and the Live Video option to output clips.
To crash-record a live video signal:
Step 1.
Choose a folder from the Media Library where you would like the captured clip to be created.
Step 2. Select File>Capture from VTR. The VTR Capture module appears.
Step 3. From the VTR Device box, select Live NTSC or Live PAL. The incoming live video signal appears
in the preview window.
Step 4. Select the Start On Pen mode. End the capture by using Stop On Pen or Stop On Frames.
Traditionally, Autodesk Smoke was operated with a tablet and pen, hence the Start On Pen
terminology.
When Stop On Pen is selected for capture stop mode, the out point and the duration timecode fields will be
updated to show the longest possible clip that can be recorded on your Autodesk Media Storage device.
The capture will either end when you click anywhere on the screen or when your storage fills up.
Step 5. Enter the clip name and enable the video tracks and audio channels that you want to capture.
Step 6. Make sure you are receiving the live video signal.
Step 7. Press Play on the video device.
Step 8. Select Process to begin capturing.
Step 9. Click anywhere on the screen to end capturing in Stop On Pen mode.
Enable the rows with live NTSC or live PAL to enable crash-record
or live output.
