I think this post is usually what I like most about each new Flame release. Seeing all the implementation of specific requests from the user base.

and its the post that i know will always fail to show the most basic improvement to the timeline editor FI-01196. The option to have playback always play the top most track without having to manually select it first…like every other edit system ever created.

That would drive me crazy. Let’s hope that when they do it, it’s a preference.

They have implemented my biggest issue (I try to only harp on one at a time) so now I have to come up with something new.

agreed. It never was a good implementation.

what do you want to see?

i for my part just want to press version up and it should just auto create a pattern based on finding v### in the path then go up one number like nuke can, its soooo convenient.

oh man, so many things. Nuke Studio is eating our lunch in this category im afraid. Prob the biggest issue is speed. after a few versions in your PB clip, just scrubbing across it in the timeline brings you to a standstill while i guess flame scans every single clip in the PB directory path again… so unbearably slow, esp with lots of versions and larger resolutions.

Another big request is control the granularity of the pattern. currently if ANYTHING changes about the pb clip, timecode, fps, it breaks it and you have to go back, identify the offending render and delete it from your server to get it to pick up again. if should have some options like matching and or linking to footage in the conform tab with varying degrees of strict or loose criteria. sometimes the nuke guys will render a half res comp to test something quickly and that breaks it. its just so fragile and we need control over that. you should be able to force flame to grab onto a clip even if the file name is the same the version # updates while at the base functionality. right now it’s so strict it makes it really difficult to use reliably.

yes - agreed it should also be able to select a layer in a timeline and say check for the latest version of all pb clips on this layer.

also need a way to promote a pb clip to a plain old single version of a clip, to turn off pb on clips in essence with a click. we often have to do this to prep for color.

navigating a big server with pb turned on in the media hub is very quickly an exercise in pain… starts scanning every single file imaginable every single place you go… should be able to activate it for a certain directory and not others. that way you aren’t constantly toggling it off and on… just incredibly inefficient…

pb is such an amazing feature… we really need to drag it out of the dark ages… Flame needs to be #1 in this category if they want state relevant in the coming one timeline to rule them all wars…

forgot to mention we should be able to quickly go back and forth betw versions of a pb clip ideally with a hot key…

also forgot to mention there are times if the edit changes (lets be real the edit is ALWAYS changing) and the frame range changes on your renders flame gets confused and suddenly there are 50000 frames of no media at the head and tail of your pb clips… just so painful to fix manually… read about it here:

I agree that this is very painful but is that related to (hypothesis) timecode :thinking: @TimC

I should go and read that post :crazy_face:

yea true, dealing with openclips only is so much more nimble and works a lot better and is faster.

the amount that NukeStudio has shat its bed with this is also not much better , ive been on hiero/ns for years and there are so many inherent bugs with their “patterbrowsing” fuction with almost the same list of stuff that goes wrong

One thing I’d like, which I think is pretty important is a decent green / blue screen keyer, a’la keylight. IBK is ok, but not as good as keylight, IMO.
