FCP to Smoke: Video Generator
 
 
 

The following tables describe generated effects that are translated into equivalent effects in Smoke.

Once imported into Smoke, effects created with the FCP video generator use the project's default resolution, regardless of their original resolution in FCP. This matches the behaviour of FCP: XML files with these effects that are reimported into FCP projects with different resolutions similarly inherit the project's resolution.
