Workflow Updates
Autodesk expanded Flame’s colour correction, editorial and remote-review workflows. The release included more than 40 user-facing improvements, with machine learning integrated more deeply into the Flame toolset and its camera-tracking workflow.
The updated tracker was designed to produce automatic camera solves and 3D geometry output in minutes. The release also strengthened finishing tools for colour work and editorial, while Network Device Interface support added another route for remote video preview.
Camera Tracking
The camera tracker could automatically identify moving objects such as people, vehicles and water surfaces that should be excluded from a solve. This reduced the manual masking traditionally required before tracking a shot.
Finishing Toolset
A new LUT loader imported external file-based LUTs and colour transforms into the Action and Image toolsets. Supported formats included 3DL, CUBE, CTF and CCC. Artists could apply a look to the full image or isolate it to selected regions.
GMask Tracer gained broader support for tactile colour-control surfaces, including Arc, Element, Wave 2 and Ripple panels. The update also added Blackmagic RAW compatibility.
NDI Preview Streaming
NDI support allowed high-resolution previews to be shared over a local network or the internet using compatible NewTek NDI software. The output could be used with webcasting tools such as OBS Studio and streaming services including YouTube Live, Facebook Live and Twitch.
The historical product page is available on the Autodesk website. The accompanying “Catch Up with Flame” webinar took place on 28 April 2021. Check current system requirements and test tracking, colour transforms and network preview behaviour before production use.
