Hi all, I’ve recently got back into learning Flame, and I am immediately under the impression that compared to like every other application in the pipeline, Flame is REALLY…quirky. And I was kind of wondering: Has anyone else has experienced – even in the latest version of Flame – undocumented, fin…

What happened today was I was following a tutorial. The guy made a batch and imported some footage and dropped in a master keyer node, using the footage for just the back and matte inputs. Then he pressed F4 to view the result. He then pressed F1 to view the front. I’m not sure how he got something …

Yes, it has changed. There are now multiple matte outputs. There may be a couple of other things different that I don’t recall off the top of my head. @fredwarren can probably give you a better answer. But that aside, I can’t see how the MasterKeyer would work with only 2 inputs. Fact is I neve…
