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.
This video goes through all the functionality of the Library section of the Workspace. This includes media management and organisation.
This video goes into the Media Panel functionality in detail. This includes the Tiles View and Dual Split View to give a better user experience using the Media Panel.
This videos goes through all the workflows of saving, loading and deleting using the new Desktop Workflow.
This video goes through the new Flame Premium 2016 workflow of having multiple Batch Groups in one Desktop. You can build up one shot in multiple stages or work on multiple VFX shots in one Desktop.
This video looks at the workflow of doing all your VFX work within the sequence using BatchFX. This includes the new additions from the Batch Group workflow as well as iterating a BatchFX.
This video shows you how to use the iterative workflow in the Batch Group to save specific points of your work. This was formerly known as “snapshots”. A versioning workflow is also covered with iterations.
This video covers the updated rendering workflows in the Batch Group. We also cover the token naming system for naming renders.
This video covers the details of using the Schematic Reels and Shelf Reels in the Batch Group.
This video starts looking at the workflow of shot-based compositing using the new Batch Group.
This video breaks down the Project Workspace and how the Media Panel is used to show the Workspace Structure.
This video goes through the changes in Project Management and User Profiles when starting Flame Premium 2016.
This video introduces the new Desktop Workflow in Flame Premium 2016. To save all your work, save the desktop!
In this video we examine the user case of slipping source media within a segment that has an animated Timewarp TimelineFX.
If media has been moved from its original location, you will have to relink a sequence to the media. This video will go through the workflow of relinking to a partially linked sequence using the editable file paths in the Conform Event List.
This video covers a “not so frequently used” feature called Adaptive Degradation. If understood correctly, it can help improve Action and Batch performances when using heavy computational functions. PLEASE NOTE - This doesn't affect final rendering.
Part 2 continues with the automated colour suppression, edge blending and finally the various degrain options within the Master Keyer.
Part 1 covers the dual colour pot sampling, on-screen Matte controls as well as patches. We also discuss the background of the Master Keyer.
Part 2 covers details concerning spline correspondences, grids, iterations, range and grid pixel resolution. We also cover open spline morphing as well as setting a morphing challenge.
Part 1 covers the process of creating splines for each of the input images and combining the splines together in order to be able to morph one image into another. Split creation, Linking, Interpolation and Blending are covered.
