The Flame Learning Channel

This video discusses colour management in the context of compositing. We’ll look at converting media into a common colour space or “working colour space” and compositing everything together. We’ll also discuss a basic example of compositing scene-linear CGI with a background plate in Action.

This video looks at the scenarios of apply Colour Management in the context of the Editorial timeline. You can covert between colour spaces or simply display the correct colours for the media’s native colour space. You’ll also learn to build a Custom Colour Transform as well as set up Display LUTs to accurately view the colours on your display device.

This video introduces Colour Management in Flame Premium products. We look at the two main aspects of Colour Management - The Colour Pipeline and Visualising the Colour. We also cover colour management when it comes to importing media as well as the various options available in the workflow.

This video shows how the Lightbox GLSL shaders in Action react to the normals of 3D objects in the Action 3D Composite. So the normals position and orientation in 3D space will affect how the cast Lightbox shader reacts to flat surfaces and 3D geometry. There are also additional settings to control the Lightbox Normals as well as the option to re-programme how the Lightbox shader impacts on the scene as well as the final render.

his video shows off the extended functionality of searching for nodes in a Batch flow-graph. Find nodes through the Batch node bin or existing node in the schematic view. Few extra tips provided so don't miss out!

This video introduces the concepts behind Lightbox shaders in Action and how to use them for look development.

This video goes through some of the new enhancements in lighting in the Action 3D compositor. We cover Selective Lighting, light targeting, Parametric softening, Look At linking and Gmasks for selective light distribution.

This video shows an interesting scenario of taking live-action footage and using Matchbox in Action to extract a normals map. The normals map can be used to relight the image with simulated depth. Useful tool for alot of compositing scenarios.

This video introduces the new workflow of offsetting the front from the matte or the matte from the front using Matchbox. This new improved workflow offers many benefits over the old source node workflow.

This video covers the use of multiple Matchbox shaders on a texture in Action. So you can build your own image processing pipeline on a texture as well as “instance” Matchbox shaders across multiple textures.

This video introduces the fundamental implementation of Matchbox in Action. This includes a bit of theory as well as the basic application of Matchbox Shaders in the Action Pipeline.

This video covers the redesign of the Action Media List pipeline. There is now a Batch Processing Pipeline under the hood of Action and any media-based tasks are greatly accelerated and optimised.

The video covers the new foreground exporting functionality in Flame Premium 2016 including the benefit of no rendering before exporting.

This video covers the redesigned Proxy Workflow in Flame Premium 2016. This includes project creation, Sequence and TimelineFX interaction as well as working with Proxies in Batch.

This video does a brief introduction of collaborative workflows in Flame Premium 2016. Detailed explanations of the Shared Libraries and user case scenarios are covered.
