I love the new Timewarp ML in Flame 2025, but my only issue is having to wait for it to render, am I missing something, or can you render it somehow in the background as previously, so I can carry on working? ---

Yep, but doesn’t answer my question!!! I have been working on a very long shot, and need a better solution. ---

Can the new ML timewarps be sent to Linux burn from a Mac Flame? ---

So this won’t be the case on a Mac then, as these options aren’t available, is that right? The background reactor? ---

Its just on the link above to Autodesk, on the Autodesk site it says Linux Only? ---

Background reactor is now a feature on MacOS as of flame 2025.2. ---

Thanks Andy, I will give it a go. ---

The compromise to keep in mind is that while Background Reactor is supported on Mac, a dual-GPU configuration is not supported on Mac, meaning you will need to allocate a certain % of your resources on your single GPU toward the Background Reactor and away from general Flame processes (as opposed to the Linux-only Dual-GPU workflow of allocating one full GPU for Background Reactor and the other full GPU for Flame processing tasks). The question (and maybe benchmark) you will want to test is: is it better to limit your Flame resources for the sake of rendering your TWML in the background, or is that a net loss since the TWML render is slower AND your general Flame processing tasks are slower. Just food for thought! ---

I’m kinda a fan of telling producers “This is gonna take 20 mins to render, I’m gonna get a coffee, bye!”
