I'm new to Smoke and I'm using the Smoke Experience tutorial videos to help me learn about Smoke. I am currently on Lesson 1: Conforming XML and Basic Editing. I am at the part where I am conforming the provided FCP 10 file into Smoke. For whatever reason every time I attempt to import the files, I get an Unliked Media message and all the videos have a red triangle with an X in the status location. I do not have FCP 10 on my computer, so I do no know if that has something to do with it. What is the issue?
What page/chapter of the book are you on? I was the tech editor and everything should be fine. You don;t need to have FCP installed at all.
When you import an XML it doesn't automatically become linked... there is an option to search fo rmeadi and link when you import, but it's a button you have to select.
You can simply go through the conform operations and link your video after import.
I solved the problem. I had the search for files option on, but it still was not locating the files in the other folders. I had to move the XML file itself to the folder that contained all the footage. Once the XML file was located with the rest of the footage it was able to find it.
