If the queue is clear of rendering jobs and the server is still flagged as busy, stop running server on each of the problem machines, and restart the service after a few seconds. If the server should not be busy, verify that the queue is clear of jobs by opening the Queue Monitor and connecting to the Manager. The yellow icon means that the server is busy rendering another job. Then click Refresh in the Network Job Assignment dialog to display the most recent information about the server. This "purges" the server and may solve the problem. If you've checked for and corrected these conditions and the servers are still unavailable, stop running Server on each of the problem machines, and restart the service after a few seconds. The server has experienced abnormal termination.(See “Setting the Availability for Rendering Nodes” in the Autodesk Backburner User Guide at The server has been disallowed for the current time period in the Properties dialog of the Monitor.(See “Setting Up Backburner Server” in the Autodesk Backburner Installation Guide at The server has not been correctly started.This state can occur for several reasons, including: The gray icon means that the server is currently not available to render a job. for example, the shot in the EDL from FCP says "tc-in: 00.53.10.10 & tc-out: 00.54.00.00", the same shot back in wiretap says the same time before transcoding, but the DPX sequence generated from that shot shows "tc-in: 00.56.10.10 & tc-out: 00.57.00.00".& that applies to all the shots.Regardless of their state in the Network Job Assignment dialog, servers can always be assigned new jobs. why? ps: havent used handles while transcoding, although if i have id notice the timecode starting a bit earlier & finishing a bit after, but my phenomena is totally 's like all the timecodes of all the sequences swifted a bit forward. so should i change the tape name (source name) from the name of the R3D clip into that of the name of the directory where the DPX files are?Ģ- while playing any DPX sequence now, ive noticed that the timecodes of the sequence is different than that of the original time-in & time-out of the events in the original EDL from FCP according to which the transcoding was done. cant use the same EDL i used in wiretap, for the tape-name is now different. Now back in smoke, in the library of the project, i want to import those DPX sequences (which are now sitting in the SAN ascendingly according to their names of course the name is the same of the clip R3D from the original RED footage).so that i can conform them on a timeline before lustre can access them to do the garding.ġ- after loading the DPX into a reel in library, i should import their EDL to build up the proper cut. I can import the EDL in wiretap, it directly detects the source and finds the media, then do the whole setting changes, then submit the job & the DPX sequences are created on the SAN. The project im having a hassle with has an EDL (&XML) generated from FCP. Instead of doing the whole footage which is consuming too much time & space, we've decided to grab according to an EDL. We use wiretap central through smoke to transcode R3D to DPX all shared on a bright SAN. We, TheGate Lebanon, are working with smoke2010 & lustre 2009. Looking forward to the feedback and I hope everyone has a great week!!!! I hope that this has been informative for you and you have many successful RED conforms from this point onwards. Reformat the resolution of the timeline to match the resolution of the media.Consolidate the timeline so that you have the correct amount of media fitting into the timeline.Put the XML clip in the same reel as the transcoded media clips.When loading the XML, skip the recapture and do not link with video/audio files.Submit the job to the Backburner Manager.Ĭonsult the documentation to set up the infrastructure involving the Backburner Manager, Server and MIO transcoding plug-in.In the settings menu, remember to SELECT ALL and APPLY the settings to the R3D files when you adjust the RED metadata.Do not reshuffle the R3D files into one directory. Keep the RED folder structure as it comes off the camera.Do not occupy or lock the library with Flame/Smoke that you want to trancode the R3D media into using Wiretap Central.Features shown are current to the 2010 ext1 SP1 release of Smoke and Flame
