http://www.freetype.org/

The following bugs have been fixed in Inferno 2007, Flame 2007, and Flint 2007. They apply to both

IRIX and Linux workstations unless otherwise indicated.

Fixed Bugs

Fixed Bug DescriptionIDFeature Area

action sys00000600 You can't use an object with a deformation mesh as a ParticleDraw.

If you try to, the generated particles will ignore the effect of the

mesh.

action sys00002623 Wrap and cylindrical texture do not work with exploding particles or

ParticleDraw.

action sys00034144 In Action, you cannot add a camera to a source node to be able to

control the scene.

action sys00050143 When in Action while working in proxy mode, keys applied to layers

don't update during playback with play lock off.

action sys00074227 With some files originating from 3ds max 6 and 7, camera parenting

is not correctly interpreted on FBX import.

action sys00093164 In Action, when using the projector with mixed resolution layers,

there is a possiblity that the projected image will be corrupted.

action sys00102486 You may cause the application to crash when changing the

transparency value with Texture set to off.


action sys00111957 Your system may freeze when you unlink a node or a group of

nodes in Action.

action sys00137493 In Motion Blur, Phase is not working for any value between -100 and

100.

action sys00148913 The Undo operation deselects current selection and selects the

channel hierarchy.

action sys00149039 Layer numbers are missing from the layer list.

action sys00154644 In Action setup, saving FBX causes you to lose submaterials when

reloading the setup.

action sys00161722 In Action, switching back and forth between Keyer and Master Keyer

may cause the application to crash.

all modules sys00143671 The software license becomes invalid when you connect a SCSI

device to the system.

archive sys00019874 When performing multi-tape archiving using DTF2 tape drives, you

may experience problems when loading tape 2 and subsequent

tapes. If you don't wait long enough for the tape to be properly

loaded, you can't format the tapes.


archive sys00041916 If, from the desktop, you attempt to archive more material than can

fit on your tape, the application does not prompt you to create a

multiple-tape archive.

archive sys00048097 You cannot restore a SAIT tape archive after you reboot your

machine. When you provide an HTML TOC for the archive, you still

cannot restore the material.

archive sys00048326 When archiving clips with history, no warning is given initially if

multiple tapes are needed. You are only prompted to switch tapes

when the first tape is full.

archive sys00049167 VTR archiving on a drop-frame-timecode tape is not supported. Use

a non-drop-frame-timecode tape for VTR archiving.

archive sys00049259 A message appearing when you create a multi-tape VTR archive

that warns you to prepare additional tapes is confusing.

archive sys00050399 You may receive an error message when starting archiving after

formatting your tape device.

archive sys00058447 When the media of a soft-imported clip is not available, the clip in

the library still shows the cached media.

archive sys00060975 When archiving soft-imported clips, the clips are stonifised even

when the source media is missing.


archive sys00068490 After starting an archiving process, double-clicking anywhere in the

UI brings up a Confirm button that you can click to abort the

process. If you minimize and then maximize the application prior to

double-clicking, the Confirm button does not appear.

archive sys00073121 (IRIX only) When appending or re-opening an existing archive

(either video or data), the online table of contents (OTOC) files are

overwritten.

Note: This fix involves creating backups of the OTOC when new

clips are appended to an archive, or if the archive toc and otoc are

different. The otoc backups have numerical extensions appended to

the file names, starting at 001. Also, the otoc name is now based on

the modification date, instead of the creation date, therefore a new

otoc is created for each modification. You may need to clean up old

otoc files and backups manually.

archive sys00073121 (IRIX only) When appending or re-opening an existing archive

(either video or data), the online table of contents (OTOC) files are

overwritten.

Note: This fix involves creating backups of the OTOC when new

clips are appended to an archive, or if the archive toc and otoc are

different. The otoc backups have numerical extensions appended to

the file names, starting at 001. Also, the otoc name is now based on

the modification date, instead of the creation date, therefore a new

otoc is created for each modification. You may need to clean up old

otoc files and backups manually.

archive sys00080656 When archiving to a tape that is too short, the multi-tape archiving

function may mistakenly start.

archive sys00094428 You cannot restore archives created using earlier versions of the

application to a project set with proxies on.


archive sys00095040 Archiving does not work if there are too many history setups to

archive and all the file names don't fit on a single shell command

line.

archive sys00095406 When you restore archives from some SAIT devices, audio files

may get corrupted.

archive sys00095782 When performing space estimation for archiving, the application

may not determine that multiple tapes are needed.

archive sys00099974 Some archived libraries cannot be listed, even though they can be

successfully restored.

archive sys00108733 The UI is not refreshed correctly after creating or closing an archive

header in a 12-bit graphics project.

archive sys00108890 If a file archive contains a clip made of virtual black frames (colour

source) with audio, the file archive will crash on opening.

audio sys00007517 The quality of audio timestretch neeeds to be improved.


audio sys00082079 A compensation mecanism has been introduced to ensure a perfect

sync between the audio going out of the DVS, the audio meters and

the video frames displayed on the graphics.

There's a known side effect to this mecanism : You cannot hear the

first five audio frames due to the DVS board latency.

audio sys00091765 Audio dissolve curve display is not sub-frame accurate, and if mixed

down, is not applied properly.

audio sys00159478 When copying audio from a mono clip to a clip without audio while

flipping audio channels may crash the application.

(realtime playback).

batch sys00007210 Setups load slower in inferno 5.0, flame 8.0, and flint 8.0 (and later

versions) when loading clips from remote libraries.

batch sys00051731 Animated channel parameters are not correctly updated in batch

view of action node.

batch sys00079896 When loading a clip that contains history with wildcard nodes

information into Batch, the cached frames of the wildcard nodes will

not be found. This results in corrupted frames.


batch sys00103695 Batch/Action, particles update very slowly when scrolling in the

timeline.

batch sys00108435 Clips with a large amount of history data attached take a long time

to open on the desktop.

batch sys00108576 Multiview Redisplay All is disabled if you select a node.

batch sys00129046 Previewing an Action node flushes any cached frames for the node.

Workaround: try to preview from another node

batch sys00129919 In Action, the Autokey remains enabled even when you disable it

manually.

batch sys00130922 Layers are dropped as the system runs out of frame buffer.

Workaround: Since artifact are not always showing up at the same

place, you need to render it multiple time and rebuild it with non

corrupted frames.

batch sys00134122 Action particle setups are slower to process than in previous

versions of the software.

batch sys00155748 When using the Segment FX Editor in Batch, the cache is flushed

when saving or exiting.


burn_components sys00106958 When you send a job to Burn from an IFFFS workstation, and a

client (Backburner monitor or another IFFFS workstation) is already

connected to the Backburner manager you're using, you receiev an

error message about port 30000 already in use and port 29999 being

used instead.

burn_components sys00143676 Burn process does not terminate when sending consecutive jobs

(application unload timeout error).

previous versions of the software (from inferno 6.0 or flame/flint 9.0

onwards).

clip history sys00089463 History files that are older than 10 days are deleted from the

/tmp/historyXXXXX directory if the software is left running overnight.

clip history sys00095565 Deleting clip history also deletes Paint and Stabilizer intermediates.

clip history sys00115626 Clips with large clip histories take a very long time to load either in

batch or library.


clip history sys00158023 The application may hang if you delete a clip with Clip History

enabled, then try to re-enter a module with the same clips option.

colour corrector sys00100267 Working on a soft clip in one of the Desktop modules, while the clip

is being rendered in Burn, corrupts the resulting clip.

colour source / frame sys00060708 Processing clips with sizes that exceed the free space remaining on

the framestore crashes the application.

colour source / frame sys00114765 When using the recursive clone and possibly other brushes there is

a blending issue with the brush stroke (artifacts show in the brush

stroke).

colour warper sys00105589 Each time a Colour Warper effect or a Colour Corrector soft effect is

applied, the application uses too much memory.

desktop sys00021015 In the Left->Right mode, newly generated clips are placed on the left

end of the reel instead of the right end.

desktop sys00156221 Deleting the sources or intermediates of a clip in Clip History may

cause a crash.

distort sys00077542 The first time you attempt to process a clip in the Distort module, the

processing stops before completion. This is the case only for morphs

and distorts that make use of two clips, two mattes and a

background.


drivers sys00111637 Stone and Wire (sw26 p287 and earlier) do not support more than

32 SCSI/Fiber devices.

the image window won't shifts vertically anymore when you select

Context view in the Keyer or Colour Corrector.

dve sys00089089 In Action and DVE, a line of pixels may appear along the lower edge

of a surface.

dve/action sys00096356 Maya 6.5 FBX files can not be imported.

edl sys00014075 The clips captured using EDL capture do not show the correct

timecode if the framecode modes of the tape and the EDL do not

match.

edl sys00024781 An EDL capture session may abort when capturing from multiple

tapes which have different frame code modes.

edl sys00058477 Resulting clips from EDL Capture with 2:3 removal are now set to

Progressive.

message may appear when starting it for the first time: "Error. Press

(ESC)."

software configuration sys00104390 Remote framestores in the Network panel may not behave

according to the NetworkPanelDisplay keyword. This keyword is

overridden by the DL_NETWORK_SHOW_ALL 1 environment

variable in your application's .cshrc file.


software configuration sys00111326 On a IBM ZPro 6221 workstation, the installation script for Linux

effects and editing applications sets up an IBM CRT monitor by

system configuration sys00022814 Hot keys are unavailable when Scroll Lock is enabled.

system configuration sys00099564 The Japanese text input method does not work on editing or effects

products for IRIX workstations.


system configuration sys00110081 With switchable storage, you can not do a film project between an

LCD and CRT monitor.

The problem was due to the different monitor refresh rates specified

in the film project configuration files:

film.cfg specifies the 72Hz refresh rate used for analog monitors

film_48.cfg specifies the 48Hz refresh rate used for LCD monitors

Problems arose when a system with a CRT (analog) monitor opened

film projects based on the film_48.cfg file, or a system with an LCD

monitor opened film projects based on the film.cfg file.

The solution is to indicate the monitor type in the software

initialisation file (init.cfg) for the application, by adding either

'Analog' or 'LCD' as a third argument to the HiresChannel keyword.

Examples:

HiresChannel vpro, 0, Analog

HiresChannel vpro, 0, LCD

This keyword works in concert with the Hires keyword in the project

configuration file. If you specify 'Analog' in the HiresChannel

keyword, when the application opens the project, it sets the Hires

keyword to 72Hz (to reflect the refresh rate implied by 'Analog'). If

you specify 'LCD', it adjusts the Hires keyword to 48Hz (to reflect

the refresh rate implied by 'LCD').

Known Bugs

Known Bug DescriptionIDFeature Area

action sys00000814 Cylindrical texture mapping does not work properly with a Deformation

node.

action sys00001744 When texture is off, only the last projector projects onto surfaces. The

image that is not affected by the projector is blacked out.

action sys00001881 In Action, a thin black line appears around an image if the image

contains movement along the X axis and if multisampling is on.

action sys00005004 Camera FOV values are not respected once imported into 3ds max.

action sys00007820 When accessing the Keyer through Action, the Keyer does not apply

the layer slip if the layer is slipped using an expression or if it is

otherwise animated.

action sys00010814 In Action, if a surface's matte is white on the edge of the image, and if

the surface has filtering enabled, then the image's outline will be darker

than it should. This appears on Flame running on Octane2 with Burn.

Workaround: Turn off filtering for the surface. If filtering is required, try

cropping the edges with Action > Layer > Crop.


action sys00111130 When processing layer matte output in Action accessed from the

Desktop, the process uses the clip resolution instead of the Action

setup resolution. This problem does not affect Batch Action.

action sys00149666 While in Action, some artifacts appear in the image when previewing a

multiplied surface.

Workaround: Crop will get rid of the artifacts, but if you set softness to

the crop the artifacts will be displayed again.

experience a slowdown.

dve sys00172602 In Action and DVE, it is not possible to name a layer using a number

for the first character in the name. If you try to name a layer using a

number as the first character, the number will be replace by an

underscore.

edl sys00005936 In the EDL module, if you switch from an NTSC project to a 720p

project, the Load 30i as 60p button is not available. Also, starting the

application in 720p and switching to a non-720p project causes the

Load 30i as 60p button to remain in the user interface as normal.

Workaround: Exit and re-enter the application to restore the button in

the user interface.

may appear in the result.

player sys00015633 In the Player, full-resolution and proxy-resolution field dominance may

appear reversed.

Workaround: Play the clip in the standard Player. You can toggle

between Default Player Dominance and Reversed Player Dominance

by Ctrl+clicking the (greyed out) Full Res button in the Player. This will

not work when you are not playing a clip.

player sys00089082 When outputted to tape in Crash Record mode from the Player, cut

transitions appear in reversed dominance on clips.

Workaround: Use the Reverse Dominance tool to clean up the

transitions, or simply disable the VideoPreviewDevice keyword in

init.cfg.


player sys00147937 On IRIX systems, when looping a clip with audio included in the Player,

you may notice that the clip stops briefly at the end before continuing

looping.

Workaround: Use the Repeat tool, or remove the audio tracks from the

clip.

player sys00159293 On Linux systems, Audio goes to the VTR via an output clip, but no

audio is heard if the clip is played in player when enabling the wrong

audio keyword, such as DVS_CENTAURUS, DEFAULT, SerialDUAL.

Workaround: Set the keyword to DVS_CENTAURUS, Serial1.

using Filter.

Workaround: Click on Channel after clicking Load Prefs or Pan in the

Animation window to refresh.

switchable storage sys00164639 Rebooting the workstation with the SWS UI open causes a stale lock to

occur. After the machine comes back and you try run SWS UI, it will

not start. A message will display that the UI is locked (by your own

machine).

Workaround: Restart the SWSD.

system configuration sys00021664 On Linux systems, the following hot keys are unavailable: ALT+F1,

ALT+F3, ALT+F9, and ALT+F12. Note that pressing ALT+F9 also

minimizes the KDE shortcuts panel.

system configuration sys00024827 Linux systems with a 4-port Qlogic card (QLA 2344) may take a long

time to start if fibre channel ports are not connected or terminated. This

is because Linux can wait up to 2 minutes for each unconnected port to

time-out before continuing to boot.

Workaround: Place optical terminators on unconnected fibre channel

ports.

system configuration sys00108373 You may lose mouse functionality when switching between virtual

desktops.

Workaround: Exit and restart the application, or press Shift-M insert.


system configuration sys00162729 On Linux systems, when setting your broadcast monitor preferences to

Always ON, a still frame is displayed when not in the Player or image

viewer.

system configuration sys00168641 On Tezro and Octane2 systems using the V12 Graphics card and

running IRIX 6.5.28, the system may experience noticeable

performance degradation when using Shadows in Action.

Workaround: Instead of using the built-in Shadow feature in Action do

the following:

1) Add another layer using a solid color and the matte corresponding to

the layer that requires a shadow;

2) In FLAME, add an image corresponding to this layer, then parent the

main image to the shadow image;

3) In SMOKE, link the Layer and its Shadow using a Global.

text sys00000519 The width of the underline does not render at an even rate.

text sys00096121 The Chinese Input Method window opens behind the Smoke window.

Workaround:

1) setenv DL_FORCE_HEIGHT N, where N is the display height minus

one. For example, for a 1600x1200 display, N would be 1199. This

step allows other windows to open in front of the Smoke window.

2) To eliminate the task bar, right-click the KDE task bar at the bottom

of the screen and select "Configure Panel". In Layout, select the

"Hiding" panel. Select "Allow other windows to cover the panel". In

smoke, press Alt-F1 to raise it above other windows.

if the PC running the application does not receive a valid audio AES

signal back from the DVS.

video certification sys00130371 On Linux systems, you may lose audio monitoring when inputting clips

from a VTR if you change the scan mode. The input result is not

impacted.

video_io sys00001175 You cannot use frame grab with the HDCAM codec.


video_io sys00002442 On Octane2 systems, when turning the HDCAM VTR (HDW-F500) on

and off with the VTR set to 24 fps mode, the application may crash.

Workaround: Before turning the VTR on or off, disconnect the video

signal from the Octane2.

video_io sys00005110 On Octane MXE and SE systems, connecting a Digital Betacam VTR,

when the 701 (EE Delay) menu is set to the Sync Delay option, creates

a field dominance problem.

Workaround: Set the menu to Video Delay.

video_io sys00006558 You cannot format an archive if the VITC timecode is not present or is

incorrect. There is no way to force LTC only instead of VITC or

VITC/LTC.

video_io sys00006663 When 2:3 Insertion is enabled, modifying the In point with the - and +

buttons causes the In point to miss one frame every second, for

example, 1:21:47:28 -> 1:21:47:29 -> 1:21:48:01.

video_io sys00009728 Aborting a VTR output may cause extra freeze frames to be left on the

tape.

video_io sys00012892 On Octane MXE systems, when outputting clips, any error messages

that occur may be displayed too quickly.

video_io sys00013768 A thin red line may appear in the Input Clip menu at the top of the

display and in the clip.


video_io sys00020113 When feeding an SD composite reference and an HD tri-level

reference to the AJ-HD2700 in 720p_60P, the deck loses the sync

every 10 seconds in Record mode.

viewing sys00093307 A sequence exported or published from IFFFS containing both scanned

frames and exported/published frames, will cause a split frame to occur

when imported into Lustre. Lustre reads the first frame and then

assumes that all following frames share identical header information

(aside from the TC). When a different header type is present in the

sequence, Lustre does not rescan the frame.

Workaround: Soft-import all shot frames and then use the Lustre

Publish function to ensure that no mixed headers are present in the

sequence.

vtr i/o engineering sys00069646 On Linux workstations, when working in an HD project you cannot use

an NTSC or a PAL SD sync signal.

Workaround: Use a Tri-level sync signal and device. The application's

syncing default is Tri-level.

vtr i/o engineering sys00156213 On Octane 2 systems without DM5, a broadcast monitor may flash

intermittently to black during clip Input or Output, and when working in

certain modules such as PAINT or DVE.

vtr i/o engineering sys00162671 On Octane 2 systems without DM5, when playing back a clip in PAL

the system may drop frames.

Workaround: Go into the Input Module and exit, or launch your PAL

project with a different timing, or change the Sync Keyword in init.cfg

file to STANDALONE.

vtr i/o engineering sys00167266 When editing the VTR configuration section of the init.cfg file, you

cannot enter the DIGITAL token as it is seen as invalid.


vtr i/o engineering sys00167726 On Linux systems with the AJA OEM2K board, for 720p images, the

RGB 444 signal is not correctly inputted. Some pixels may seem to be

randomly shifted vertically and/or horizontally.

vtr input sys00007744 When inputting a clip, if the workstation from which you are capturing is

accessed via the network it will drop the capture and start to retry. It

will retry until it reaches its maximum retry count then show "Capture

completed", even though the capture was never done.

vtr input sys00008971 A framecode mode change on a given source tape is not properly

managed during EDL capture.

Workaround: Manually restart the second framecode mode batch

capture.

vtr input sys00028192 There are some limitations when doing Video I/O of HD 10-bit media:

On Octane 2, HD 10-bit video I/O and VTR archiving is not supported.

On Onyx 2, parity and proxy on the fly cannot be done when inputting /

restoring a VTR archive in HD 10-bit.

vtr input sys00037298 There is image stutter when capturing HD 1920x1080_5994 with a

proxy project using Tri-Level sync. The capture is fine, only the preview

is affected.

vtr input sys00047861 On Linux workstations, if you unplug and replug your SDI VTR output

to DVS cable, you will encounter interactivity problems. Either the

playback will not be in real-time or it will freeze completely.

Workaround: Exit the Input/Output Clip module and re-enter it.


vtr input sys00054319 There is no error message displayed when doing HSDL I/O with a

device that has a different timing then the application.

Workaround: Make sure that you use the same timing in the application

as the HSDL device uses.

vtr input sys00074513 If you attempt to capture from a tape that has the same VITC and LTC,

then the capture process will fail to cue up to the In and Out points, and

the process fails. This occurs when either VITC + LTC or LTC Only are

selected in the clip I/O Engineering menu.

Workaround: Ensure that the TCR setting on the VTR is set to LTC.

vtr input sys00101594 On Onyx 2 workstations, capturing HD clips with proxies results in

dropped frames.

Workaround: Use a parity and proxy generation option.

vtr input sys00162239 When inputting or outputting Varicam clips, the timecode may not

match the timecode on the tape.

Workaround: Use import or export EDL with Varicam disabled.

vtr input sys00162709 On Linux systems, the frame code mode of the first HSDL capture may

be incorrect.

Workaround: After the first capture, exit and re-enter the Input Clip

menu. Your timecode and In and Out points are now correct.

vtr input sys00162710 On Linux systems, you may encounter some instability, such as

dropped frames or failed captures, when capturing from an HSDL

device.


vtr output sys00012719 On Linux systems, the video does not update properly when split

screen is on.

vtr output sys00013158 Inputting clips using the Pen/Pen option and

disconnecting/reconnecting the input and RS422 a few times

intermittently results in hanging the system.

vtr output sys00037737 When performing output operations with two clips of different bit

depths, the first clip will end up with the wrong timing or no reference

signal and the second clip will be fine.

vtr output sys00072003 Any Out point computed over 00:00:00:00 will cause the output to tape

to fail.

vtr output sys00096231 When inputting or outputting 1920x1080 59.94 fps 10-bit video, the

broadcast monitor may not display the signal properly. I/O itself is

unaffected.

vtr output sys00145500 The application may hang when outputting an SD clip if the Video In is

not connected. You can perform the output operations without errors.

The problem is not present in HD.

Workaround:

Two sets of environment variable are required to make this work:

1- The following let you enter the Output module:

setenv DL_MSG_LEVEL debug

setenv DLVIDEO_DEBUG_DEVICE 1

2- And this one blacks out the input while outputting:

setenv DL_DVS_OUTPUT_DISABLE_INPUT_PREVIEW


vtr output sys00163664 When outputting to VTR, the Tape EE button may become disabled, so

you won't be able to monitor your output.
