In this video, you’ll look at how the Explorer has been implemented in all the environments of Flame 2021.1. We’ll look at MediaHub, Conform, Timeline and finally how the Explorer works with Batch.…
In parts 1 & 2 in this series, you learnt how to create, organise and apply TimelineFX via the Explorer. This is great for any VFX or grading workflows and I am sure that you’ll put it to good use! In Part 3, we are going to focus particularly on an isolation tool known as a Selective. This tool is available in the Image and Action toolsets and it creates some very interesting opportunities when it comes to TimelineFX Setups and the Explorer. For example, you can have an Image TimelineFX which contains one or multiple Selectives that builds the VFX or grade of a shot. Using the TimelineFX management workflow with the Explorer, allows you to pick specific Selectives within the Image TimelineFX and create TimelineFX setups. These setups can then be repurposed in other shots or even used to experiment with different variations of the Selective within the same or different Image TimelineFX. So this is pretty powerful functionality and I encourage you to watch how it works in this video.…
In the first video on working with TimelineFX Setups in the Flame 2021 products, we introduced the workflows and showed you how to create and apply TimelineFX Setups in combination with the Explorer. They are all quick and intuitive methods but in order to keep your growing TimelineFX Setups under control, we do recommend organising and filtering your setups where necessary. So in part 2, we’ll dig deep into the Explorer to help you manage and understand what you see. And then we’ll move onto filtering which will be an invaluable tool in the Effects Environment regardless of the type of production and the workflows you are using.…
In the Flame 2021.1 products, a new TimelineFX management workflow has been introduced in order to give you the most flexibility when performing any VFX, grading or finishing work. This allows you to create, organise and apply TimelineFX setups in a very interactive and user-friendly way. So you now have a system where you can store multiple grades, manage multiple VFX setups and even a still store for grabbed references. There is so much potential with the Explorer! So this video will focus on creating and applying TimelineFX setups. And in the upcoming videos, we’ll expand into greater detail regarding organisation, Selectives, image comparisons and much more.…

This video will take you through the workflow of remapping a Z-depth render pass from absolute values to normalized values in order to make use of it in a compositing situation. Using a normalised Z-depth render pass is a requirement for all the various workflows of adding depth of field blurring using physical defocus and any other 3D post effects. We'll discuss the Z-depth information in detail as well as demonstrate the Depth Normalizer for the main purpose of remapping Z-depth data. This is very useful to know when handling Z-depth data from external CGI render passes.…
With the release of Flame 2021, the machine learning models have been enhanced yet again to give you more choice and flexibility When working on your productions. So previously, the machine learning models were able to recognise and isolate the human body and human head for various finishing tasks. With this new release of Flame, you can now segment various parts of the human face for any compositing, grading and beauty work. So you can isolate the skin, eyes, the mouth, nose, ears and much more. This is all achieved using the familiar Semantic Keyer workflow and the Human Face Segmentation is available in the timeline as well as Batch and BatchFX. We’ll run through some examples to cover the features. But as a usual reminder with Machine Learning, this is not a perfect solution. Similar to all the previous videos, the Machine Learning Models are only as good as their training And depending on certain conditions They may or may not be successful. As long as you try these tools on multiple shots, you’ll eventually understand Which situations may be successful.…

In part 2 of the 3D Interoperability series, you went through the workflow of exchanging 3D data between Flame and Mudbox. This allows you to take 3D geometry in Flame and push it over to Mudbox for sculpting and painting. Once you were happy with your model, tt gets sent back to Flame with an updated 3D geometry and a new diffuse texture map that was processed in Mudbox. In part 3, you’ll learn to troubleshoot some mesh issues, when sending 3D geometry to Mudbox. This is actually quite easy to manage since Mudbox points out the issues as well as offers a solution to fix them. This is due to the technical complexity of sculpting on a 3D model and there are just a couple of guidelines that need to be followed in order to sculpt successfully in Mudbox. Please check out the Mudbox documentation for detailed descriptions when troubleshooting mesh issues.…
In the first part of this series, you learnt the fundamental basics of how to instantly exchange 3D data between the Flame 2020.3 Update, Maya 2020 and Mudbox 2020. In part 2 of the 3D Interoperability series, you'll recap some of the topics from part 1 as well as start looking at the interoperability between Flame and Mudbox. Mudbox is a 3D sculpting and 3D painting application compared to Maya which is a more general 3D application. So their toolsets are different and because of that, their 3D dataset requirements are slightly different. In fact Mudbox is really smart and it will tell you when something is wrong and how to correct that. We’ll discuss this in detail as you progress through the workflow. To learn more about Mudbox, you can watch the following videos: Dynamic Tessellation Autodesk Basic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTubn6dTGMk Dynamic Tessellation Impressive Usage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idF5C8mu4Ds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqyCYjz9AHk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXD8_7wS5Ew Vector Displacement Map(Very Cool for Flame users): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJJQaQDRkG8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHWbOVYNoKw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuGDdhSqIhg Modelling And Painting with Mudbox: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIP9L7N5JTE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrzbNaCFtEw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvcS3_De9yg Retopology https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPQfB333TBc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXSkVfsZZic Meet the Experts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElVbyLyD_ts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fziRd30iECQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrolEp1uQY0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylgPKhgWzzA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWldS1Jzq0U All aspect of Mudbox (third party): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPnvnhNXATxhKeNeKClD2yw/videos…
With the release of Flame 2020.3, Maya 2020 and Mudbox 2020, it is now possible to instantly exchange 3d scenes between Flame and Mudbox or Maya, running on the same workstation (Mac or Linux). This is known as the 'Send To' workflow which offers 3D data exchange without the need for manual importing and exporting. In part 1, you'll go through the fundamentals of setting up the workflow as well as the potential for tons of creative and technical capabilities for any Flame Artists working with 3D assets. This video will cover a basic example of interoperability between Flame and Maya. Please note that this is a single system workflow and all the applications need to be on the same workstation. Please check the on-line documentation for the setup configuration. To learn more about Maya, please watch the Maya Learning Channel - http://www.youtube.com/mayahowtos…

With the Flame 2020.2 update, two new machine learning models have been introduced into the Flame products. So part 5 in the Machine Learning Series introduces Human Body Extraction and Human Head Extraction. Both machine learning models allow Flame to look at an image and identify parts of the human body. So Human Body Extraction attempts to identify the entire human structure whereas Human Head Extraction concentrates purely on the human head. In both cases, you can then use the extraction as part of a selective or composite. For example, you may need to roto someone in a shot or perhaps blur some faces out really quickly.…

In parts 5,6 and 8 of the Image Toolset series, we looked at the 3D AOV capability where you could produce a selective matte for your image based on supplied 3D information. So you could create isolation mattes based on the z-depth of the image, the normals of a 3D object as well as the movement of an image based on motion vectors. In part 11 of the series, you’ll learn about a new tool to refine your 3D AOVs known as “Primitives”. This allows you to constrain the effect of a 3D AOV by placing virtual 3D objects in 3D space. If you are new to 3D Selectives, please watch part 5, 6 and 8 of the Image Toolset series to explain the basics and fundamentals of 3D AOVs.…
In the Flame 2020.2 update, Flame supports a variety of AJA and Blackmagic Design hardware configurations. With this release, there have been a number of driver upgrades on Mac and Linux as well as additions to hardware support for Flame products running on Linux.
In this set of videos, we’ll look at the workflow of the Burn-In Metadata tool in the 2020.2 update of the Flame Products. This allows you to access loads of metadata from your media and the sequence that you can burn onto your images. Burn-In Metadata is accessible in all areas of the Flame Products where you need it. So you’ll find it as a TimelineFX, as a node in Batch and BatchFX and as a separate module in the Tools Area of the Desktop.…
In the previous video on Burn-In Metadata, you looked at the basic workflow of using the tool in the timeline with source timecode, record time code and duration. You also learnt how you could define what video tracks influence the metadata as well as drive the colour scheme of the metadata. This was all done in the Timeline view and you could save this as a preset. In part 2, you’ll take a look at some of the other metadata tags as well as customisations through the Effects editors. You’ll also learn another workflow where you’ll stack multiple tracks of Burn-in Metadata in the sequence and finally, you’ll cover some of the differences when using Burn-In Metadata in Batch and BatchFX.…

In part 4 of the animation series, you'll explore some of the additional tools that can be used with the Animation Editor. This refers to the Select, Add Points and Delete tools for fast adjustment to the curve. We'll also cover ways of limiting movement with keyframe selections as well as locking keyframe selections when moving keyframes around. This also includes scaling keyframe animations in time and intensity with the X & Y scale tools.…
In part 3 of the animation series, you will focus mainly on Interpolation and the Tangent handles of keyframes. Interpolation refers to the animation that is calculated between the keyframes and the different ways in which the curve can be created resulting in different animation. The Keyframe Tangents are the "small handles" that appear on a keyframe when using smooth interpolation methods. Pulling, breaking and smoothing tangents allow you to further bend and refine a curve to give you exactly the animation you want!…

We start off with the basic concepts of keyframe animation as well as cover the different methods of animating in Flame. You will also learn how to animate with the Channel Sliders and understand what the colour indications mean in terms of animation. Get animating fast without even looking at an animation curve!…
This video shows the workflow of exporting an IMF distribution package from the Flame 2020.1 update. The Interoperable Mastering Format or IMF has become a required deliverable for streaming platforms such as Netflix, etc. Using the EasyDCP plug-in, Flame creates the package of files which are predictable in every aspect of broadcasting and can be customized by the broadcaster after they have received the IMF package. This is fast becoming a mandatory requirement for broadcasters. Please note that Flame ships with a demo version of Fraunhofer’s “EasyDCP plug-in for Flame” which is watermarked but it allows you to try out and test the exports. To create IMF Distribution Packages with no limitations, you need to purchase a license of the plug-in from the EasyDCP website -- https://www.easydcp.com…

In part 10 of the Image Toolset series, you’ll learn about the flexibility you have when it comes to combining your masks with other constraints within a Selective. So you may be using an external matte, a Keyer, a 3D AOV or even a combination and you can use a mask in multiple ways to refine the Selective even further. Take total control of your Selective Mattes with masks!…

In this video, you'll learn about some new viewing enhancements in the Image toolset with the Flame 2020.1 Update. This will give you more visual feedback as you segment your image with Selectives. Firstly, you now have a dedicated Selective View that is dynamic and interactive as you work with Selectives. Secondly, there are now coloured overlays in the Selective inputs allowing you to see the Selective in the context of the shot. These new viewing tools are available in the Image TimelineFX and the Image node and the Action node in Batch and BatchFX.…

In this video, you'll learn about the new 3D AOV capability to generate an isolation selection using a Motion Vectors Data pass. So you can identify an object’s movement and direction and use that as the basis for a 3D Selective. You can then feed the isolation matte into any SelectiveFX shader and be as creative as you like. In this example, you’ll add more motion blur into a shot using the 3D Selective workflow.…

In this video, you’ll learn how to group shots in the Effects Environment. This is the ability to take a selection of shots and group them together with a custom name. You can then call up the group at any time for any VFX, grading or finishing purposes.
When working with integrated VFX and grading in the timeline, the Effects Environment is a great place to tackle most of your creative requirements. In this video, we have introduced the ability to save your layouts in order to make things a lot easier as you work. This includes the viewers, media panel, storyboard, scopes, time-bar as well as the general behaviours of the controls. You can set up the interface they way you like and then save it as a custom layout.…

In the Flame 2020.1 update, another type of machine learning has been introduced into the Flame products. So in part 4 of the Machine Learning Series, you’ll learn how to extract the sky out of a shot. So Flame can look at an image and using Machine Learning identify what parts of that image make up the sky. You can then use that extraction as part of a selective or composite. For example, you may want to grade the sky or perhaps even do a sky replacement. We’ll run through two examples and discuss some of the finer details as the video progresses.…

When it comes to animated masks in the Flame products, one question that always gets asked is how do you offset a vertex that already contains animation? For instance, the animation may have been tracked or key-framed but now you’d like to move the same vertices and keep the original animation. This video will cover the vertex offsetting technique for both the Gmask Tracer and the older Gmask Toolset.…

In this video, you'll learn how to use the refractive properties of a surface to distort an image. This is different to previous examples where you have a semi-transparent object and light is refracting through it. Instead, you’ll use refraction to create localised distortion and not see any 3D objects. This workflow video will cover extended bicubics, refraction, masks and tracking. Now Flame already has other tools that can perform distortions and warping and this technique is another option for you to choose from.…
Refraction in Action has introduced some really creative opportunities but did you know that its not just limited to 3D models? In the new video example added to added to the Flame Learning Channel, you learn how refraction can work with a flat object such as a surface object or a flat 3d plane geometry. You'll also see how extended bicubics can affect light refracting through a surface. Finally we'll discuss what happens when you have multiple overlapping objects in composite and they have refraction!…
