Key features of Flame

Combine the interactive speed of traditional 2D compositing and powerful 3D visual effects in Action.

Easily create chroma keys directly on the Timeline using the Modular Keyer in Action or Keyer tools in Batch FX.

Perform automatic 3D tracking based on the camera properties of the device used to acquire the image sequence you want to track.

Batch and Batch FX integrates with the Timeline and desktop to combine 2D and 3D elements iteratively.

Gain more control of your animation and fine-tune changes across all animation channels for your current effect or tool.

Create 2D isolations on surfaces or in cameras.

Oversee projects, create consistent looks, edit on the Timeline, and correctly match graded and 3D VFX shots to editorial intention.

Use Timeline FX to control the composition of a segment with the input on the track beneath it.

Increase the versatility of the effects you apply on the Timeline.

Task-based environment that brings a new level of grading and VFX integration directly into the Timeline.

Use modes optimised to grade the three types of colours spaces: video, logarithmic and scene-linear.

Save and recall colour grading and FX work in a dedicated bin and reference comparison area.

Import, author, display and export Dolby Vision HDR animatable metadata.

Control the effects environment using Tangent controls. Apply colour and effects in an integrated environment connected to Straight colourist control panels.

Use an integrated toolset for colour, beauty work, production fix-it tasks or freeform creative treatments on any image.

Load several Matchboxes and Lightboxes either provided with Flame or created by a third party to apply effects using GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) shaders.

Track colour space data on a per-clip basis, from source to screen. Gain the ability to lock exported colour policies.

Generate 3D point clouds from 2D camera sequences to position objects in a scene, apply masks and colour grade.

Detect and automatically isolate various parts of the human face, isolate the human head in a moving video and extract a matte for compositing purposes.

Detect and automatically isolate skies in a moving video and extract a matte for compositing purposes.

Detect and automatically isolate the human body in a moving video and extract a matte for compositing purposes.

Detect an object within a bounding box in a moving video and extract a matte for compositing purposes.

Analyse an image and compute a depth data pass to ease VFX and finishing workflows such as matte isolation for colour grading based on camera depth. 

Solve for low-resolution video in various finishing scenarios like archive restoration, pan and scan, and content delivery.

Automatically create additional frames for slow-motion shots.

Solve tricky jump cut edits by morphing frames together or blending effects.

Remotely stream content with Fullscreen Video over IP to any NDI receiver or webcasting software.

Drive many parts of the application using scriptable commands.

Use a scriptable handler to process your images via external renderers within the Batch environment.

Import Blackmagic Design RAW media.

Use GPU-accelerated GLSL shaders to solve challenges in the 3D compositing environment in Batch and Action.

Load and use OpenFX plug-ins including general plug-ins, as well as filters, generators and transitions.

Exchange 3D data for scene compositions between tools and packages developed by different manufacturers.

Access the power of the Flow Production Tracking (formerly ShotGrid) review and production tracking toolset.

Use a unified effects management approach to share and sync effects across multiple sequences.

Broadcast an uncompressed signal in an AWS cloud deployment.

Manage media better with support for additional formats and enhanced sharing and handling.

Export multiple clips, films, sequences and more to a desired file format.

View detailed metadata for each clip or sequence directly in the Player.
