Autodesk Smoke

Autodesk Smoke

From commercials to broadcast design to long-form episodic television shows, Autodesk® Smoke® finishing effects software is a comprehensive creative editorial system. It delivers the visual effects capabilities and high performance your clients demand. Autodesk Smoke benefits from many of the advanced visual effects tools in Autodesk® Flame® software, as well as the ability to conform from EDLs, AAF, and Apple® Final Cut Pro® application program XML files, giving you the flexibility you need to finish faster, with more streamlined content delivery.

Whether you're an artist looking to expand your creative capabilities or a facility owner looking to differentiate your business with effects-centric finishing, explore your options with Autodesk Smoke editing and finishing software.

Overview

Handle any project that comes through your door―film, commercials, long-form episodics, bumpers, and promos―on a single system. In an era of project-based billing and increasingly complex client demands, your editing and finishing system needs to do more―and more efficiently. Autodesk® Smoke® systems software is the premier all-in-one solution for online editing and creative finishing, providing real-time, mixed-resolution interactivity for all types of creative editorial work and client-supervised sessions.

 

Finish Faster

Autodesk Smoke enables you to create interactively―and quickly. Featuring a powerful 64-bit architecture and industry-leading tools for conforming, editing, audio, paint, character generation, graphic design, and visual effects creation in a 3D compositing environment, Smoke leverages Autodesk’s Master Keyer and Colour Warper™ technologies.

Creative Editorial

Increased visual effects capabilities are now part of Autodesk Smoke. The Batch* procedural compositing environment promotes effects-centric finishing by opening up the workflow between timeline and effects, making the already powerful Smoke creative tools even more logical and efficient. Designed specifically to work in conjunction with editorial decisions, you can enter Batch using a horizontal or vertical selection of timeline segments and soft effects.

Simplify Complex Online Projects

Autodesk Smoke helps you maintain color consistency across all shots, design captivating titles and graphic elements, create versions, and output your final project to multiple formats. Autodesk’s award-winning creative tools, performance, and interactivity enable editors and clients to collaborate and achieve the desired visual results.

Increase Your Profile and Expand Your Business

Differentiate yourself from the competition by creating intuitively, collaboratively, and quickly with a reliable, performance-proven creative editorial finishing system. Powerful visual effects, streamlined workflow, and the ability to design your own templates enable you to bring your story to life faster. Whether you are working with SD or HD video, or in a true file-based, data-centric environment, Smoke is designed to accelerate your creative workflow and let you deliver the highest-quality master possible for film, commercials, and broadcast design.

Streamline Your Facility Workflow

With support for streaming media formats, including direct-imported Panasonic® P2 MXF files and soft-imported SD or HD QuickTime® media, Smoke can play an integral role as part of a facilitywide workflow―enabling internal processing of images at superior uncompressed RGB image quality with the flexibility to use more of the file formats common in the industry today.
