Hi everyone,
Flame’s native auto-save mechanism can sometimes be a bit unpredictable during heavy projects or inside BatchFX. To solve this for myself, I wrote a lightweight Python script that runs in the background: Smart Batch Auto-Save.
Time-based saving: It saves at your chosen intervals to any path you specify. This allows your auto-saves to be stored on a server or an external drive with proper timestamps. It also creates a save right after a render so you can easily revert to that version.
Smart deferral: It pauses saving during playback or rendering and takes the backup as soon as the system is free.
Batch & BFX: Works for both.
Smart Cleanup (Retention): Keeps your specified number of auto-saves, but never deletes manual or post-render backups.
Hope it helps! Looking forward to your feedback.
