The Flame Learning Channel episodes:

July 24, 2019 The Image Toolset - Part 9 - The Selective View & Overlays - Flame 2020.1
In this video, you'll learn about some new viewing enhancements in the Image toolset with the Flame 2020.1 Update.
This will give you more visual feedback as you segment your image with Selectives.
Firstly, you now have a dedicated Selective View that is dynamic and interactive as you work with Selectives.
Secondly, there are now coloured overlays in the Selective inputs allowing you to see the Selective in the context of the shot.
These new viewing tools are available in the Image TimelineFX and the Image node and the Action node in Batch and BatchFX.

July 24, 2019 The Image Toolset - Part 8 - 3D Selective - Adding Motion Blur - Flame 2020.1
In this video, you'll learn about the new 3D AOV capability to generate an isolation selection using a Motion Vectors Data pass.
So you can identify an object’s movement and direction and use that as the basis for a 3D Selective.
You can then feed the isolation matte into any SelectiveFX shader and be as creative as you like.
In this example, you’ll add more motion blur into a shot using the 3D Selective workflow.

July 24, 2019 Effects Environment - Part 18 - Grouping Shots in the Sequence - Flame 2020.1
In this video, you’ll learn how to group shots in the Effects Environment.
This is the ability to take a selection of shots and group them together with a custom name.
You can then call up the group at any time for any VFX, grading or finishing purposes.

July 24, 2019 Effects Environment - Part 17 - Custom Layouts - Flame 2020.1
When working with integrated VFX and grading in the timeline, the Effects Environment is a great place to tackle most of your creative requirements.
In this video, we have introduced the ability to save your layouts in order to make things a lot easier as you work.
This includes the viewers, media panel, storyboard, scopes, time-bar as well as the general behaviours of the controls.
You can set up the interface they way you like and then save it as a custom layout.

July 24, 2019 Machine Learning - Part 4 - Sky Isolation & Extraction - Flame 2020.1
In the Flame 2020.1 update, another type of machine learning has been introduced into the Flame products.
So in part 4 of the Machine Learning Series, you’ll learn how to extract the sky out of a shot.
So Flame can look at an image and using Machine Learning identify what parts of that image make up the sky.
You can then use that extraction as part of a selective or composite.
For example, you may want to grade the sky or perhaps even do a sky replacement.
We’ll run through two examples and discuss some of the finer details as the video progresses.

June 13, 2019 Rotoscoping with Masks - Offsetting an animated vertex - Flame 2020
When it comes to animated masks in the Flame products, one question that always gets asked is how do you offset a vertex that already contains animation?
For instance, the animation may have been tracked or key-framed but now you’d like to move the same vertices and keep the original animation.
This video will cover the vertex offsetting technique for both the Gmask Tracer and the older Gmask Toolset.

May 31, 2019 Action Refraction - Part 3 - Distortion with Refraction - Flame 2020
In this video, you'll learn how to use the refractive properties of a surface to distort an image.
This is different to previous examples where you have a semi-transparent object and light is refracting through it.
Instead, you’ll use refraction to create localised distortion and not see any 3D objects.
This workflow video will cover extended bicubics, refraction, masks and tracking.
Now Flame already has other tools that can perform distortions and warping and this technique is another option for you to choose from.

May 24, 2019 Action Refraction - Part 2 - Flat Surface Refraction - Flame 2020
Refraction in Action has introduced some really creative opportunities but did you know that its not just limited to 3D models?
In the new video example added to added to the Flame Learning Channel, you learn how refraction can work with a flat object such as a surface object or a flat 3d plane geometry.
You'll also see how extended bicubics can affect light refracting through a surface.
Finally we'll discuss what happens when you have multiple overlapping objects in composite and they have refraction!

May 17, 2019 Adding Custom Menu Actions - Flame 2020
This video shows you how to add custom menu actions in the context menus. This requires NO coding knowledge to enable them in Flame.
A few versions ago, the Flame products were given python scripting capabilities to automate a variety of tasks.
This can help with production pipelines as well as various functionality within the Flame products.
These tools have grown in popularity hence the new ability to easily add custom menu actions.
For those of you creating python code, you can easily share them with other Flame Artists.
And for those of you who are not Python savvy, you can use these scripts simply by copying them into a shared directory.
The ideology is very similar to the way the Flame community shares Matchbox shaders and hopefully this will also apply to Python scripts.
We’ll cover all you need to know in this video!

May 03, 2019 Expanding the User Interface - MasterGrade - Flame 2020
In this video, you’ll learn about using the expanded user interface with the MasterGrade.
This will give you more controls up front and less digging down into multiple menus.
We’ll cover some of interface options as well as the new layout of the MasterGrade when it is fully expanded.
Please note that the expanded user interface is also available for other tools within the image toolset, Gmask Tracer and the Action 3D compositor.
These can be either in the editorial or compositing contexts.
