Baselight works fine. Nuke doesn’t.
I wanted to get the nuke system working because the tk ops are getting busy. And grumpy doing these little exports for me. If only flame didn’t strip the metadata.

Hi, bumping this thread up to see if there have been any developments. We’d really love to see the preservation of any metadata possible in EXR exports. For one, so that TC, tape name, etc. can be preserved for pipeline reasons, and two, so that artists can see the camera, resolution, etc. for a given shot in both Flame and Nuke without having to track down the camera RAW source clip. @Slabrie are there any developments on this front yet or a planned feature update? Thank you!
Hello Lee!
Preserving OpenEXR metadata is high on our list of requests and we will let you know when this capability is added to our products.
Which version of Flame do you use?
For timecode and reel/tape name, it is already possible to export content with this data in OpenEXR for the following workflows (using 2023 release and previous)
-Media Export (File sequence): exporting single source clips will preserve source timecode and reel/tape name in both Forground and Background.
-Media Export (Publish): if you are jot using Flatten Track option, you are able to export segments of your sequence as OpenEXR with source timecode and reelname
-Bach (Write File) make sure to use T-click to propagate the data (timecode and reelname) from your back plate to the Write File node set to OpenEXF format.
As far as viewing the OpenEXR metadata, we provide the ability to view the metadata of the first frame in various ara of Flame Family products:
-MediaHub (Preview / Metadata and if you expand the Attributes section you will see the various information part of the header)
-Batch (Clip Node / Extended / Metadata)
-Timeline / Format Options / Metadata / Attibutes
being able to display the metadata on a frame basis is on our todo list.
As you have seen, we sadly do not preserve nor export this data when exporting OpenEXR and we fully understand the various workflows that would enable.
