This release introduces the following new or enhanced tools to help you create complex effects more easily:

• Matte Edge (formerly Edge): Multiple enhancements are introduced, including controls over the Width and Softness of the Inner and Outer edges, a Matte Luminance Curve, and settings to add Noise to the edges. See Matte Edge.
• Glow: Enhancements include new Directional and Radial types (with the possibility to track the Radial Centre), fixes to the Auto Matte behaviour, two definable Glow colours, and extensive Blending options. A number of Glow presets are available to help you get started. See Glow.
• Blur (formerly RGB Blur): Enhancements include the possibility to track the Radial Centre, and Chroma and Luma blur. See Blur.
• Gradient: A new Gradient tool featuring user-definable colour and alpha ramps with animation support. You can select from four types of keyframeable gradient objects: Directional, Radial, Spline, and Multi-Point. See Gradient.
• 3D Blur: The 3D Blur Batch node had been updated to include Gaussian and Defocus blurs, as well as overall performance improvements. The 3D Blur menu has also been updated to improve its usability. See 3D Blur Node.
• Motion Convert (formerly Vector Viewer): This updated Batch node now allows you to convert normalized 2D vectors from a 3D application into absolute vectors that you can work with in Flame. See Motion Convert Node.
• Motion Blur: The Motion Blur Batch node now allows you to blur using past and future frames, or the current frame only.
• The Combine and Mono tools now allow YUV and HLS colour space inputs in addition to RGB.
