we have 3 Smokes with Perpeutual licenses in small shop.
Wire transferring shots back and forth is crucial to our workflow.
Anyone using 2015 Desktop version in a similar manner?
Is there any kind of project sharing tools?
Obviously, Autodesk thinks a post house like ours needs to shell out for a Flame system - but the whole reason we got into Smoke was because we couldn't afford Flame.
As far as I know Smoke Desktop doesn't communikate with Flame anymore, here the pipe is broken. But Smoke Desktop systems should be able to share projects.
Could someone knowlegable chime in and shed some light on this? In the not too distant future we plan to step up to Smoke 2016 when it will be out in 2015. Interoperability between Smoke seats is mandatory for us.
Thanks,
Hans
Hello Hans,
Your are right, Smoke Desktop Subscription seats can share Projects, Clips and Archives amongst themselves. They cannot do so with products from the Flame family.

Note: Edited form an earlier reply
A Smoke Desktop Subscription product can read older archives from a Smoke Perpetual product (any version). You won't be able to append to it though.

not, is there any chance you could write a utility app to convert the
old archives?
I have about 30 LTO tapes with years of old Smoke Archives that may
need to be accessed in the future.
If I convert to desktop, what do you recommend?
