About Compatibility

Autodesk makes every effort to ensure that the compatibility of media and resources is as complete as possible when you perform the following tasks:

Upgrade your application.
Share projects between concurrent Autodesk (Inferno^®, Flame^®, Flint^®, Smoke^®, Backdraft^® Conform) products on the Linux operating system.
Work collaboratively with compositors using Autodesk Combustion^® and with modelers using Autodesk 3ds Max^®.
You can import certain image sequence types (i.e. DPX) or access them with Lustre^® using Wiretap^®.

This release of Backdraft Conform has the same compatibility attributes as Smoke. You can restore archives and access clip libraries created in earlier versions of Autodesk products. You can also create a project in Backdraft Conform, conform EDLs and prepare source timelines, and then access the same project and clips in concurrent versions of products.

The following applications are concurrent versions and are compatible with one another and with Wiretap:

Inferno 2009
Flame 2009
Flint 2009
Smoke 2009
Backdraft Conform 2009
Autodesk Stone^® and Wire^® 2009
Burn^™ 2009
Cleaner^® XL 1.5.2
