With the updated to the Animation Editor, animating in Flame 2023 is easier then ever! This also includes updated workflows to give you lots more choice with the way to you like to create animation.

For example, this video covers the Animation View Workflow whereby you can have the Animation Editor visible in a view. This enables you to see your animation curves and your composite at the same time! Now this might now be brand new to Flame 2023 however with the introduction of the context menus in the Animation Editor, you can now do so much with this workflow without having to switch menus in the interface to access standard controls. Huge Timesaver!!!

Flame 2023 introduces a revamped animation editor with loads of modernisation and updates.

3D Tracking with Camera Analysis - P1 - Introduction - Flame 2022 11:49

4 years fa11:49

11:49

In this video, you’ll start learning all about the new 3D camera tracking tools in Flame 2022. This new technology uses “simultaneous localization and mapping techniques” better known as SLAM 3D tracking, and it should help you tackle most 3D tracking challenges directly in Flame. This could be adding objects into a scene, clean-up work with projections, set extensions and more. This works in all colour spaces provided that your tracking plate is correctly tagged and colour managed. And like all 3D trackers, the camera needs to be moving in the shot and any parallax will definitely help solve the camera’s movement. This video serves as your high-level introduction into the new 3D tracking and the upcoming videos will dive deeper into the toolset and showcase various scenarios.…

In this video on 3D tracking with Camera Analysis, you’ll learn how to exclude certain parts of your image when performing a 3D track. This becomes a necessity when there is any unwanted movement in the shot. For example, moving people, animals, cars or even flowing water. So the best approach is to predict the unwanted movement before the analysis takes place. You’ll first learn the workflow of excluding areas with a mask and then you’ll learn the second workflow of excluding areas with Machine Learning. These are very power tools and both options are worth exploring.…

One common task that we do every day as compositors is image clean up. So you need to remove something whether it was intentional or not. So in this video, you’ll learn how to clean up your shots using a combination of 3D tracking and projection. Please bear in mind that these techniques can also be used to add objects into the shot. So you’ll start off with looking at the shot and creating a clean frame. Next, you’ll analyse the camera movement for the 3D track. And finally, you’ll produce the cleaned-up shot by projecting the clean frame either over a flat 3d shape or 3D geometry generated by the point cloud.…
