I seem to remember a module called autocomp in flame. Am I correct? ---

> [@paul\_round](#): > > Auto matte is still there. Can’t say I’ve ever used it. Never looked at it until now. Seems like a simpler/faster version of 2D Histogram. Both can be useful luma keyers, or clamping nodes. Just oddly named, which is not uncommon for Flame nodes. Not a lot of people would reach for Mux when they really just needed a Framehold ---

Speaking of old nodes, there was a Composite or Compositor node which was 2D transform and comp if memory serves me right.

Composite was around for a while post action. 3d effects was a strange early/mid-90s module that was a single layer DVE with 3d text that was eventually was superseded by action. ---

Very true. Does it do linear these days? How does it handle anamorphic? [Next page](https://forum.logik.tv/t/autocomp/10989.md?page=2)
