Hello Logik friends! Flame Family 2027 has been released and is being rolled out to your [Autodesk accounts](https://manage.autodesk.com/). As usual, it may take a few more hours (and maybe even days) before the builds appear in your account since they are not being rolled out to everyone in one go. Highlights include: - The frame-based metadata of imported clips is now preserved and can be written to the OpenEXR file header of exported file sequences and published content. It can also be edited in different places, including the new Metadata node/timeline fx. - Burn can be installed on macOS. - Two machine learning models can be used to generate Depth from an image. The depth can be used to create a matte in the Selective object or standalone ML Depth nodes. - Annotations can be added in the form of strokes, rectangles, circles, lines, arrows, or text to clips in the Player or in a Viewport. - Markers can be added to nodes in Batch and on timeline segments in the Effects environment. Markers can also be managed from more areas as the markers list is now accessible in the Explorer. - Improvements have been made to the Atomize object in Action. - OpenTimelineIO files can be imported to be conformed. - Custom tokens can be created. The output of a token returning a string can be sliced to isolate a part of it. - The flame\_backup command-line tool can be used to make the backup process more efficient. - Autodesk Assistant, an AI-powered assistant, can understand your questions and provide helpful responses. - The ARRIRAW, Blackmagic RAW, R3D, Sony RAW, and OpenEXR SDKs have been updated.

I could not see anything on first glance - has anything been done to the project structures/ project server / NFS stuff ? like are we getting closer to habing the whole project in the postgres db or is this the same structure etc as 2026? ---

Uninstalling now. ☹ Most of my joy in this forum is being a human AI Assistant. Without that I’m just posting run-on sentences about wrestling. (I am sincerely excited about Atomize.) ---

Several drama free installations this morning. OS upgrades are clean. Fresh OS installs are clean. Virtual machine templates are cooking. Burn is being installed right now. No drama. Great upgrade. Well worth it. Lots for people to dig into. Once again, bravo flame team. You make it easy. ---

> [@fredwarren](#): > > Let us know what you think about it and what else is missing! I’m very curious about the changes to Atomize, but I don’t see a mention in the release notes? I’m hoping it means atoms have sizes related to camera position and not all the same size regardless of z-position..
