Yes! DS was my start too!
Big shout out to Grant @La_Flame and the devs for showing two up in the videos. I probably wouldnât have thought to try it. I work faster and better for it. Cheers.
Iâve tried it. Like I say, I use it on occasion. As far as an ultru-wide goes, Iâd love to see an ultra wide turned 90 degrees so that I can have a 27" wide 16x9ish image in front of me and a timeline below it and a bunch of whatever else above. I think Will may have looked into the concept.
I think a thread like this is a perfect example of how Flame can be personalized for all our different working styles.
I find myself switching the wrong viewport. I like the idea of the scale and position sync but is there a way we can lock a viewport so I donât accidentally change it?
Totally agree with this. This is why I use one up 99.9% of time.
Amen. In Nuke itâs a no brainer because you can never accidentally change your schematic to your viewer. Flame? Not so much.
I do use 1 up in nuke , pretty much for roto and tracking only if i am ona single monitor
But then I always have 2 screens so nodetree on one and viewer on the second one 
I think youâve stumbled upon your own answer. For most folks you always had the broadcast output to check your image on. It was color accurate and what would end up on tape*. The gui was just flipped around as needed.
Honestly though if a feature existed where one could lock interface componentsâviewer here, dag nodes here, anim here then Iâd be two up for life. Flame just doesnât do that yet.
*Video on early Linux boxes used a different preview output for monitoring then what actually went to tape until rtdâs arrived and you could use the hdsdi daughter card to the Nvidia board in output clip as an option. Later when the pci buses got fast enough that you could push directly from the gpu back down to the Kona it was finally unified to a single output on the Kona and the daughter board ceased to be a thing.
You canât lock that out. But you could reduce your risk dramatically if you used layouts to switch and avoid the Esc and ` while using Flame.
And even with broadcast monitor, you do need a GUI viewer for any masking you do.
Yes on all pointsâjust trying to explain how weâve ended up with a 99% 1-up user base historically. Saying to stop hitting tilde or esc is like asking people not to breathe itâs so deeply ingrained.
as someone that learmed flame on a non us keyboard or had to use it via remoting tools i had a about 10% success rate with the ^ key working to get into action i have the left thing select â action schematic ingrained.
Ive gotten better now but i learned to deal with it hahah, i have all us keyboard everywhere now , also makes more sense for coding.
still angry my parents gave me a german keyboard when i was kid, what where they thinking?!??
