Inputting and Outputting Media > Importing Media Files >

At various times during the post-production process, you may need to import files into Smoke from other applications. For instance, you may need to import:

Scanned DPX files generated by a film scanner
Backgrounds or mattes created in Adobe^® Photoshop^®, Combustion^®, 3ds Max, or other graphic design applications
Various still image files (for example, TARGA^®, JPEG, TIFF)
QuickTime^® video files
MXF media files
Audio files (for example, AIFF, MP3, WAV), including music from a CD

You can import and soft-import image or audio files, and import video files. You can add image files or video files to a render queue for batch importing.

You can also import multiple files using EDLs. See Importing EDL Files.
