Hi everybody. I’m considering installing 2027 this week on multiple boxes, and just wanted to ask how it’s been going in production for people? I’m not aware of any major problems, but just want to check.
Thanks.
It’s drama free with some nice improvements over 2026.
YMMV
We have many installations.
No problems.
One bug support case - crash on Linux doesn’t release DeckLink cards. But rare and there’s a workaround.
No problems on my 4 mac stations
Great to hear. Thanks, gents.
2027 release does not contain major infrastructure rework as 2026 so updating to this version should be quite easy. Please keep us updated on how things go.
Thanks, Stephane. When I do upgrade, it will be from 2025.2.2 – so that’ll be significant… Looking very much forward to it.
Same here, have ended up bypassing 26 altogether, and very much looking forward to installing 27.
Several months in now…
How’s it going for all you Flame 2027 (or 2027.1) users? Working well in production? Anything to watch out for?
Thanks!
I’m enjoying Flame 2027.1.
There’s a license bug that supports helping us figure out. That’s really been the only side effect within my blast radius.
I’ve been working in it for a bit and it seems fine.
I’ve been watching that licensing thread, is that primarily linux issue?
I’ve played with 2027 - that annotation tool is so hot right now
We’re on 2027.1, while conforming we resize one clip in format options/ preprocessing and copy that onto the rest of the timeline, but now we can’t copy format options or pre-processing onto other clips. We just get his error:
TIMELINE : Cannot read MIO data in Gateway source: Invalid Gateway source
any ideas?
I’m looking forward to the 2027 for life t shirt or the cup or the pin or the bumper sticker or the jpeg
The big question is:
Will there be a font change?
When I select multiple clips and change something in the format options or preprocessing, the message says it is doing it to all selected clips. But it lies. It only does it to the first selection.
The only quibble we have noticed is the blur node no longer links the matte blur by default.
Having Flame not gobble up or destroy the metadata is very helpful in our pipeline.
I’ve had a licensing issue that I think was the same thing as a few others have had, but it cleared up mysteriously on it’s own the first time after about an hour and a half of anxiety, and after a second re-boot the second time. The only other issue I’ve had is with a certain expression syntax that seemed to get broken, but there was a work around, and I’m told it will be corrected on the next release.
Aside from the issues reported here, what are the significant and worthwhile improvements in 2027, that would make it worth dealing with said issues, coming from 2025.2?
Keeping in mind that AI tools are things that we can easily access from other applications, that do not lock us out of the system due to licensing, etc.
For us, OCIO and metadata have been HUGE!!!
Essential for Flame to work well, with in a long form pipeline.
Not sure when the match grain was added but that is excellent and also lens distort is much improved.
We also took advantage of the centralised components and have all of our export presets, bookmarks and matchbox shaders all living in one place so we don’t have to update all of our machines.
