Flame-Claude via MCP

Funnily enough, I’m coming at this from the backwards angle. I’ve been stuck in Gemini and GCP world on a related, but unrelated project and so just now getting caught up with Claude.

I do have an open claw working successfully as a front end to Logik Projekt. It’s successfully creates folder structures on lucid link, matching Slack channels, matching massive portals, including download automations, frame Io projects, and even S3 buckets. All ordered in plain English via a producer friendly Slack app.

This is bonkers.

What’s on your hit list?

I’m working on a role based pipeline with full dependency tracking against Postgres. The bridge sits in the middle. Mcp’s hook up to it via bridge as do the DCC’s. Flame, Nuke to start. Rewriting publishing at the moment…

and yeah, it’s fucking batshit.

…I’ll add that publishing done right has been, involved.

ok I THINK I’m tracking what’s happening here and it’s pretty bonkers. Those slates populated with all the relevant info @randy ? Is Claude creating, appending the sequences with the slates as well as putting info on them via text tool or some other means?

The slates were on the desktop. dont worry, I’ll teach it how to restore from an archive. Each slate was setup with dummy data, flame-mcp learned how to add each aspect ratio’s corresponding slate to the head of each clip, and it wouldn’t be hard to get it to fill the data in for me as well.

Add me to the unofficial team here. My clawbot has tons of python running but I’m just now getting into the world of MCP. Absolutely bonkers.

It’s all fun and games until the Flame artist isn’t needed anymore.

Hi all, I’m going crazy trying to make a sort of collect files (as done in after effect) of all the png and psd use in a two year project and it would be interesting if Claude would be able to search in the project and at least provide the path of the files. I know that there is a collect tool project @kyleobley all files but it didn’t search within batchFX and could not be filetype specific. Do you guys think it would be achievable?

You could definitely tweak collect_media to only look for certain file types, that’d be quite straight forward. What you can not do is look into BFXs. That’s a limitation of the API.

If those BFXs are iterated, however, then you should have a “Batch FX Iterations” library. Anything in there would be scaned.

yep, i did a bit of research and as you said, api don’t allow that option. the only thing interesting i found is to export from the Conform tab, a table of content in .txt with all the file used in the timeline. from there clean up the txt with a script and than run a rsync of the files with another script. unfortunately i can’t find a way to iterate the process without going manually and open each timeline. man… this sucks. such an easy task in other sw.

This is certainly something that is on our radar, so please do not hesitate to submit Flame Feedback requests for the ones you need.

Why an “official” bridge would be better than what you are using right now?

@fredwarren So the community can rally around a single API instead of everyone designing their own.

Perhaps use Copy Filepath to Clipboard. Put ALL of the timelines on a Desktop reel, select them all, right click > Copy… > Filepath to Clipboard. It will copy anything that has a import path available and skip the generated media. Then paste ALL of that into a text editor and go from there.

Im familiar with vim, you can use :%sort u to sort & remove duplicates in one swoop and then :g!/png/d to delete lines that do not contain png.

I cant think of anything clever for BFX (cue endless debate about BFX). You will have to enter the BFX, copy/paste the source clips out to a Desktop reel one by one (hey… its a living right?), then do the above.

Hey friends. I’m putting together our NAB events, and I’d like to spend 1/2 day on Sunday, April 19th doing a version of a Vibe Code/Hack-a-thon. I’ll provide the pizza and beer, and let’s hang out and show off all the ways we are using this stuff. It’s the most exciting thing happening in Flameland right now!

What do you think? Interested? If you can make it to NAB, please let me know, either here or via email at andy@logik.tv

I love this idea, and would come for just this, but I’ll be on my way up a big mountain.
