How do I grab a single frame out of clip?

[c64]

Hi there – I have just moved over to Smoke from Flame, and there’s a few simple things tripping me up. With a clip on the edit desk how do I simply drag a copy of one frame from the clip, to create a new one frame clip? ctrl+spacebar+dragging the frame out gesturally does it in Flame. What is the Smoke equivalent? Apologies for such a simple question!

Thanks!

I had the same problem, this whole keyboard/shortcut thing is very irritating. Takes me a whole day to adjust when switchiing between systems. And these horrible ultra-thin mac keyboards don’t help either.
Regarding your question, there is no such shortcut I know of. But you can hold shift-F and drag the selection between IN-OUT. Just mark the single frame you want with in and out and there you go. Don’t know why it has to be so complicated …

Well you can always get a copy of my Smokeys keyboard stickers and use another keyboard…

I like using the desktop tool repeat under the video tools to make a quick still frame.

Can’t you just mark in/out and then Hold ‘F’ and drag it out to the desktop?

I tend to use the Repeat tool on the Editdesk, by default set to 00:00:00:01, i’m sure there’s a hotkey for it (if not just set one in prefs).

Thanks for the clues! Repeat is close enough! Thanks.

You have to hold the shift key + F to subclip out a frame, or any duration for that matter.

Shift+F1 on the clip in the record area

Hi,

If you are using 2011 or later of Smoke than when you create a new user, you can tell Smoke to use the Flame hot-keys if you wish to go down that route.

Just another suggestion.
