3D VFX
3D compositing toolset
Combine the interactive speed of traditional 2D compositing and powerful 3D visual effects in Action.
Keying on the Timeline
Easily create chroma keys directly on the Timeline using the Modular Keyer in Action or Keyer tools in Batch FX.
Camera tracking
Perform automatic 3D tracking based on the camera properties of the device used to acquire the image sequence you want to track.
Node-based compositing
Batch and Batch FX integrates with the Timeline and desktop to combine 2D and 3D elements iteratively.
Animation Channel Editor
Gain more control of your animation and fine-tune changes across all animation channels for your current effect or tool.
Selective isolation
Create 2D isolations on surfaces or in cameras.
Timeline
Editorial Timeline
Oversee projects, create consistent looks, edit on the Timeline, and correctly match graded and 3D VFX shots to editorial intention.
2D compositing on the Timeline
Use Timeline FX to control the composition of a segment with the input on the track beneath it.
Mattes and masks
Increase the versatility of the effects you apply on the Timeline.
Finishing
Effects environment
Task-based environment that brings a new level of grading and VFX integration directly into the Timeline.
MasterGrade creative colour tool
Use modes optimised to grade the three types of colours spaces: video, logarithmic and scene-linear.
Explorer bin
Save and recall colour grading and FX work in a dedicated bin and reference comparison area.
Dolby Vision HDR compatible
Import, author, display and export Dolby Vision HDR animatable metadata.
Integrated finishing core toolset
Control the effects environment using Tangent controls. Apply colour and effects in an integrated environment connected to Straight colourist control panels.
Image Timeline FX and Batch node
Use an integrated toolset for colour, beauty work, production fix-it tasks or freeform creative treatments on any image.
Matchbox and Lightbox
Load several Matchboxes and Lightboxes either provided with Flame or created by a third party to apply effects using GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) shaders.
Modern colour management workflow
Track colour space data on a per-clip basis, from source to screen. Gain the ability to lock exported colour policies.
Artificial intelligence
Camera Analysis
Generate 3D point clouds from 2D camera sequences to position objects in a scene, apply masks and colour grade.
Human Face semantic keyer
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.
Sky Extraction keyer
Detect and automatically isolate skies in a moving video and extract a matte for compositing purposes.
Human Body semantic keyer
Detect and automatically isolate the human body in a moving video and extract a matte for compositing purposes.
Salient keyer
Detect an object within a bounding box in a moving video and extract a matte for compositing purposes.
ML Depth
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.
Hardware and configurations
NDI video preview streaming
Remotely stream content with Fullscreen Video over IP to any NDI receiver or webcasting software.
Python API
Drive many parts of the application using scriptable commands.
Pybox
Use a scriptable handler to process your images via external renderers within the Batch environment.
Blackmagic RAW support
Import Blackmagic Design RAW media.
Matchbox and Lightbox API
Use GPU-accelerated GLSL shaders to solve challenges in the 3D compositing environment in Batch and Action.
OpenFX plug-ins
Load and use OpenFX plug-ins including general plug-ins, as well as filters, generators and transitions.
