Changes in how you view
clips make it easier for you to work in Flame:
- The viewing options in the View box have
been reorganized to make it easier to scan from the options available
for your viewport selection. Note that if a hotkey exists for a
view, it is displayed beside the option in the View box. See
Displaying Clip Views and
Multiple Viewport Categories.
- When displaying views in multiple viewports
using hotkeys, you no longer have to select a viewport first. You
need only place the cursor over the applicable viewport and press
the hotkey.
- You can now use the broadcast monitor
as another viewport. See
Working with Viewports and a Broadcast Monitor.
- You can now use the Ctrl+spacebar+up arrow and Ctrl+spacebar+down arrow to zoom
in and out of the image window in modules. (Press spacebar and drag to pan the image
window).
- You
can now compare images from two video tracks simultaneously by displaying
both the Primary and Secondary tracks in the Player. See
Comparing Tracks and Layers.
- The Compact FX option has been removed
from the library and from the timeline’s Edit Mode box.
- A new Image Data Type setting in the
Preferences menu allows you to set the default image data type for
all modules.
There is also a local
Image Data Type setting now available in the View menu of the Sparks
editor (including the Desktop Sparks editor, the Batch Sparks
node editor, and the Soft FX Sparks editor) allowing for greater
control when dealing with various image types, including 16-bit
floating point support.
For information on the
image data settings, see
Image Data Type.
