Received! Thanks so much, Tim!
Yup… everyone can stay up-to-date on the submissions by following this Playlist.
Just submitted a few
Received.
My only access to flame is in a high security environment, so no video from me. Improvements I’d love:
-Some kind of Match grade tool that is better than the curves in the CC. Should also create 3D LUT and/or CDL.
-Tracking that works in scene linear
-MasterK that actually works as well in scene linear as log.
-Player settings that stick after reboot, like loop, in to out, etc.
-Why do I have to ‘mark as viewed’?!
-Bring back maintenance on purchased licenses (we did buy PERPETUAL licences!)
-Multichannel input and output in action without jumping through hoops
-Fix all nodes that don’t filter the matte identically to the front
-Make all nodes handle more than 2 inputs/channels
-Subdivide for ex-bicubic surfaces
-ProRes RAW support some day!
-DNG support since it’s such a rich format, and we’d like to be able to control it inside batch
Give me an hour and I’d have 20 more. Sorry for getting grumpy.
*edited for profanity
this was one of my submissions @SamE - a la match grade node in Nuke. Bring the grump. It’s the only way we change things!
Good catch. There now.
Great list of improvements. You might want to add your vote for the ones already existing on flame-feedback and create new ones
You could add your vote to the ProRes RAW support which has apretty low count these days… See Autodesk Feedback Community
You may already be doing that. Just in case: A relatively accepted technique for Resolve colorists having to deal with inferior keyers is to ‘side-chain’ the key paraphrasing an audio term here.
It’s not always feasible to make each keying algorithm work equally well in all color spaces. But if you know which color space a keyer works well in, create a side-chain where you convert the front input of the keyer to the optimal color space for keying, or do other key prep (increase contrast/saturation, go to Lab color space and key on chroma only, etc. etc.). Then use the matte output from the keyer in the main node flow. That only works if you’re after the matte. If you need the keyer to also despill you need to run the image through the actual keyer un-altered. But even then, use two keying instances - once for the matte generation with all the prep gymnastics, and one on the main line for just despill.
Hey @Slabrie, I’ve been after my company to create an account, because I don’t have an active personal subscription anymore. Is this something I can do directly, as a Supe for a company that runs 40+ flames?
Currently jumping through these hoops.
hi @Francesco.Bianco - i was watching your submission tonight and just wanted to say you can already drag a bounding box to select multiple segments in a timeline without having to be outside the area of the segments: hold CTRL+SHIFT+S and drag away from anywhere on the timeline.
Thanks Tim for the info. I’m on smoke hot keys and by just holding W and drag a bounding box and does the trick. CTRL+SHIFT+S might be for flame hot keys. Anyway, since you can drag a bounding box from outside the timeline without having to press and hold anything, it would be easier to have the same behavior even within the timeline. In the meanwhile i’ll use W. Thanks again.
Hello Sam!
Flame-feedback does not require a Flame license. You can register for free and see the various improvements, add your vote and even create new ones! I hope I did not create a monster by telling you this
You need an active subscription to be able to access the various builds of Flame Family products and open support ticket.
40+ flames is nice. But 50+ would be nicer
I might be late, but sent in the shortest request at 12 seconds
Here’s the breakdown of most requests I covered with either the link to the existing request at flamefeedback.autodesk.com of a demand to add a new one.

Animate the selection icon for the Human body selective

Sinan, I tried what you mentioned during the event and realized I could have made a better due diligence on my side. Sorry about that. The widget has Position X and Position Y settings, but they are not in the UI, meaning that you can only animate them with Auto Key enabled or by selecting the channel in the Animation menu (Image → Human_Body → keyers → semantic_keyer → position). From my test, it should improve the use case you were showing.
