Batch Improvements

Improvements have been made to reduce the number of steps you must perform to ensure the basic attributes of your Batch Group are properly set.

• The Batch Group duration is automatically set to match the duration of the first clip added to your Batch Schematic, removing the need to manually set the duration.

• The Render and Write File nodes Render Range now follow the start and end value of the Batch Group by default, removing the need to manually adjust them.

• The Add to Workspace option available in the Write File node can be used to add the exported clips to your Workspace. The Smart Replace option is available making it possible to propagate the new renders to their corresponding Timeline segments..

Multichannel Clips Advancements

New preferences and options are available to further customize the usage of multichannel clips.

• Setting the default visibility status of channels can be used to hide channels you do not need in a Batch Clip node.

• Rules about channels visibility and type assignment can be performed inside the application so that you do not need to edit a file on disk to set your preferred behaviours.

• Media from hidden channels are no longer cached, saving important space on a framestore.

• Multiple enhancements have been made to the Clip node object in a Batch to make sure it is easier to identify channels, manage them, and create connections to other nodes.

• Channels can be renamed in Render and Write File nodes.

Python Enhancements

Additional options have been added to the Python components.

• Custom actions can now be organized and structured in a contextual menu making it easier for you to group some custom actions together and show them in a meaningful way.

• The entire content of a folder/directory can be imported using the flame.import_clips() function.

• Other specific attributes and functions requested by customers have been added to the API.
