What is Flame Assist 2018 and How to Use It for Video Editing

Flame Assist 2018 is a software application that helps you manage and organize your video editing projects. It is designed to work with Autodesk Flame, a powerful and creative tool for visual effects, finishing, and color grading. Flame Assist 2018 allows you to perform tasks such as importing media, creating timelines, editing clips, adding transitions, applying effects, and exporting deliverables. It also lets you collaborate with other Flame users by sharing projects and media across a network.

In this article, we will give you an overview of the Flame Assist 2018 interface and show you how to use it for video editing. We will cover the following topics:

The Workspace: where you accomplish all of your project tasks

The Media panel: where you access and manage your media sources

The Viewing panel: where you preview and adjust your clips

The Editing panel: where you create and edit your timelines

The Export panel: where you export your final output

Let's get started!

The Workspace

The Workspace is where you accomplish all of your project tasks. It consists of three panels: The Media panel, The Viewing panel, and The Editing panel. You can switch between these panels by clicking on their tabs at the top of the screen. You can also resize and rearrange them according to your preference.

The Workspace also has a menu bar at the top, where you can access various commands and options. You can also use keyboard shortcuts to perform common actions. For example, you can press Ctrl+O to open a project, Ctrl+S to save a project, or Ctrl+Z to undo an action.

The Media Panel

The Media panel is where you access and manage your media sources. It displays a list of folders and files that are available for your project. You can import media from various sources, such as local drives, network drives, cameras, or tape decks. You can also create new folders and subfolders to organize your media.

To import media, you can either drag and drop files from your file explorer into the Media panel, or use the Import command from the File menu. You can also use the Scan command to scan a folder or a device for new media. Once you import media, you can view its properties, such as name, format, resolution, duration, frame rate, and audio channels. You can also rename, delete, or move media files as needed.

The Viewing Panel

The Viewing panel is where you preview and adjust your clips. It has two modes: Source mode and Timeline mode. You can switch between these modes by clicking on their buttons at the bottom of the panel.

In Source mode, you can view the selected clip from the Media panel. You can use the playback controls to play, pause, stop, rewind, or fast-forward the clip. You can also use the jog wheel or the keyboard arrows to scrub through the clip frame by frame. You can also mark in and out points to define the portion of the clip that you want to use in your timeline.

In Timeline mode, you can view the active timeline from the Editing panel. You can use the same playback controls as in Source mode to preview your timeline. You can also zoom in or out of your timeline using the slider at the bottom of the panel. You can also enable or disable audio or video tracks by clicking on their icons at the left side of the panel.

The Editing Panel

The Editing panel is where you create and edit your timelines. A timeline is a sequence of clips that form your video output. You can create multiple timelines for different versions or segments of your project.

To create a new timeline, you can either drag and drop clips from the Media panel into the Editing panel, or use the New Timeline command from the File menu. You can also use the Insert or Overwrite commands from the Edit menu to add clips to your timeline at specific points.

To edit your timeline, you can use various tools and commands to trim, cut, copy, paste, move, or delete clips. You can also use keyboard shortcuts to perform these actions faster. For example, you can press B to activate the Blade
