Centralized Project Settings

Flame Flame Questions
1

Hello,

We’re looking for having it so if a Flame artist is on a project and they change one of the other project settings then if someone opens the project on another Flame it picks up the same project settings.

Would I be right in saying this is possible with Flame 2025 but not previous versions?

Thanks

Steve

What are you planning on changing?
What have you tried changing so far?
What successes/failures have you had?
How did you affect the changes?
Where are you storing your projects?
Do you anticipate having one project that can be opened by multiple flames simultaneously?

Some things are currently immutable.
You need one project per flame if you don’t want project corruption.

It’s a big topic with many anspects of specificity, and your question is vague.

The projects are saved under:

/opt/Autodesk/projects

We want to change any attribute in the projects settings, resolution or fps for example, and have it open on another flame. The project will open be open on one flame at a time.

The setting can be set via an xml file when the project is created via the command line. However I’m not sure if such an xml is saved someone for the projects to read on load. But this is only on project creation. If they are changed after that I’m not sure how flame stores the settings.

I can’t find all of the settings in the python api only some of them. Some are stored in the project.db file but not all of them.

In flame 2025 it looks like the preferences can be controlled remotely which sounds great just unsure how this is done.

Thanks

I don’t recommend trying to use the same project for different flames but YMMV.
Here’s the Wiretap API for flame 2024.
Why don’t you upgrade?
The software will be 2026 before you know it…

Thanks Phil. I’m a developer only just started looking at Flame and it’s how they work at the company I’m at. Will speak to the boss about upgrading this week. Looking at this vid 2025 would be what we’d need to have shared project settings.

Thanks

Steve

We’ve been doing this for more than a decade without issue. Just specify the same base location for Setups in the Project Creation dialogue box. Watch my video on Centralized S+W.
