Today I learned…

[johnt]

It makes sense to me. The way I think of it is the sources sequence is like the TK roll. And the shots are the conformed rushes in the flame. Don’t know if this is useful to you but thinking like this helps me stop worrying and love the bomb.

[leovfx]

no, I’m still worried.

[hildebrandtbernd]

Not sure if it’s legal, but even when greyed out, you can still rename an existing project in the modify menu. That will change the projectname in flame, but not the folder structure.

[randy]

dont do this. It’s bad and breaks things.

[fredwarren]

This is no longer possible to do so in Flame 2024 btw.

Same in Shotgrid. It’s possible and ducks it up.

Holding alt and clicking a keyframe parameter deletes all the keyframes but keeps the value .

[johnag]

While watching a tutorial recently I learned that if you hold shift and click into a numeric box that all the keyframes for that channel load into the timebar.

[fredwarren]

Additionally, holding Shift and Double-Clicking in a numeric field opens the Animation Editor with that channel framed inside it.

@leovfx

Today I learned that if you use “duplicate connected segment” and then lock the layer you duplicated from, you can actually unlink the new shots on the new layer without unlinking the original layer.

This has been fixed in Flame 2024.

This has been fixed in Flame 2024.

Interesting. What’s the new behaviour? I considered this a good thing as it’s the only way to unlink in order to reconform into the new duplicated segments without unlinking the old segments.

[fredwarren]

Sorry, I copied/ pasted the wrong item. This is the one that is fixed:

@leovfx

Today I learned that the colour of segments is connected between your edits and the sources sequence UNTIL you create a shots sequence. After that segment colour changes in your edits suddenly don’t affect the sources sequence anymore but affect the shots sequence instead. I have no idea why.

Yes! When someone showed me that holding “C” to draw a compass and then letting go after drawing immediately switched back to move, life changing in terms of compasses.

Wait…WHAT??? How did I not know about this???

[fredwarren]

This is true for all these tools. You can hold down D for Delete, A for Add, etc.

[andymilkis]

OK…we are def doing a “Today I Learned” Logik Live this summer!!

[ssweik]

Space + V for the Smoke folks!

[ytf]

I’ll be there

Been using the hold-C function ever since reading this. On this “Today I Learned” episode, I wonder what other easter eggs are hiding in plain view? I need to start a running list of – “What does this thing do?” Nodes and modes I never use, but I am sure are useful. e.g. PunchBack, Convolve, Substance Splatter

[PlaceYourBetts]

Today I learned that you can change your overall shape of your spline even if you have added lots of keyframes.

Gmask tracer - Go to Vertices and click “Edit Tracking Keyframes” under the Animation setting. Your mask will turn blue while it’s on.

Thanks @greg

I learned this in the last year and what a big deal I somehow had missed.
