smoothie not smoothie ing

[steady condor]

I copied some renders from #⭐｜render-hall-of-fame but when I send a clip to smoothie now, ctt or whatever it is that shows whilst rendering appears for about 0.2 seconds then disappears and nothing has happened

It's been working with previous "recipes" but with this config it didn't work and just did what I explained above

[compact elm]

send a video of the issue happening

[dark kayak]

there’s no need for a video

[dark kayak]

not all the configs in there are for smoothie, so you might have to adjust them

you can use smoothie with the launch.cmd file and it won’t close on error

[compact elm]

why

[dark kayak]

because it’s erroring and then closing

they can just launch it with the cmd file and screenshot

[compact elm]

um, you can go through the video frame by frame to catch the error

so that kind of invalidates your point

additionally provides a clear context of what the user is doing

[steady condor]

Alr

[dark kayak]

so, does that seem more reasonable to you than a screenshot?

[compact elm]

a video clearly shows what the user is doing to trigger xyz issue

[steady condor]

I'll do it later

[dark kayak]

seems like a config problem based on the context

[compact elm]

either way we need to get the reason

and 2 ways are using launch.cmd or a video

which we do not have

so we can only assume which is literally the worse thing possible

[steady condor]

Probably is cus other configs have worked

Unless it's a huge coincidence

[compact elm]

can you send a video of the issue happening

[steady condor]

Yh I will

Ina bit busy rn

[dark kayak]

they use a new recipe from HOF, now when they sendto smoothie, it crashes

use your common sense please

[compact elm]

next time i will recommend people to use launch.cmd instead

[compact elm]

doesn't a video provide more clarification?

what i have inferred:
"I copied some renders from ⁠⭐｜render-hall-of-fame but when I send a clip to smoothie now, ctt or whatever it is that shows whilst rendering appears for about 0.2 seconds then disappears and nothing has happened"

1. grabbed some configs from this channel
2. smoothie crashes when a clip is sent

very vague

don't know what config is causing

or what the error message is

[steady condor]

Since I'm busy yall could test it for urselves if u rlly want

Ofc u don't have to ur choice

[compact elm]

what config is causing it

[steady condor]

But I'll send the config if u want

[compact elm]

that would be helpful

did you make sure these paths exist on your system?

[steady condor]

?

[compact elm]

sorry but this is my way of handling/helping them, if you don't like it that's entirely fine.
I am just trying to help them solve this issue that's all.

[compact elm]

did you drop the config assuming it will just work

[steady condor]

Probably

[compact elm]

i think this is the issue:
you have artifact masking enabled and smoothie wants to find a usable mask.
but that mask file doesn't exist that's why its crashing

#1162840589482602576 message

you want to download this

[steady condor]

Ah probably

[compact elm]

file name: D:\smoothie-rs-bin-windows\valmask.png and have this value point to that mask

[steady condor]

Yh

Makes sense

Someone told me about masks before so I'll have a look and test around

[compact elm]

https://ctt.cx/video/smoothie/recipe/#artifact-masking

tell me if that fixes the issue

[steady condor]

Will try it later tysm

[compact elm]

np 👍

[dark kayak]

is there a way to sendto and have it not close after crash

[compact elm]

have a batch file that passes multiple args to sm and then calls pause
