Effects Translation
 
 
 

Flame does not support Timewarp effects in OMF files. These effects are converted to a linear Timewarp. The resulting timeline will have the correct duration with the correct Source In/Out timecode, but the speed will be incorrect. You will need to manually replicate the animation Timewarp effect.

Audio EQ is not supported if you import an OMF file with EQ. The audio clip on which the EQ effect was applied will replaced with a gap. The remainder of the OMF file will be loaded correctly.

Wipes imported through OMF as effects are always animated.

Avid effects are translated as follows when importing an OMF file into Flame.
