You
can match an element with
its source clip. If a match is found, a copy of the clip is put
in the Batch schematic.
In the Preferences menu,
the Match option in the Timeline section determines where Flame looks
for the source clip.
If the segment you are matching has head and
tail frames, these frames are included in the copy that is created
in the schematic. An in point and an out point are added to the
copy, marking the portion of the clip that is used in the original
segment. This allows you to overwrite the original segment with
the matched segment such that the overwrite conforms exactly with
the original. For example, you could apply an effect to the matched
clip, process it, and overwrite the original.
If
you are working with Batch setups, you can also match source clips
used in any BFX level. See
Matching and Copying Sources from BFX View.
NoteFlame has one
level of Match. If you process a source clip, the new clip becomes
the source clip, which can be found with the Match command. It is
therefore a good idea to always keep a copy of the un-edited original
material.
To match a clip with its source clip:
- Select the elements that you want to
match in the timeline.
TipIf you do not make
a selection, the clip
under the positioner's focus point is matched.
- Do one of the following:
- Press Shift+M to create a matching source
clip with trimmed head and tail. The matching source clip appears in
the schematic,
including all handles. If your selection included transitions, the
source clips and handles are included in the match results.
- Press Ctrl+M to create a matching source
clip with in and out points that mark the section of the source
used in the timeline.
The matching source clip appears in the schematic,
without handles. If your selection included transitions, only those
frames that are used by the transition are included in the match
results.
