Procedural Compositing with Batch and Batch FX

Batch provides a flow graph environment for procedural compositing with integrated access to almost all Flame effects and image-processing commands. Click the Batch tab to enter the Batch view. Switch between tabs such as Timeline and Tools without losing any current work in Batch.

A Batch FX is a setup applied directly to one or more segments on the timeline. Creating a Batch FX takes a selection of timeline segments into a Batch flow graph environment for procedural compositing. A Batch FX node can be edited and reordered without affecting anything else in the pipeline.

Use the Batch processing environment to assemble a process tree of clips and nodes, where the result of each operation serves as the source for the next one. A Batch pipeline is never fixed, giving the flexibility to reorder and edit nodes as necessary to achieve an effect.

Use the bottom tabs to switch between the Desktop, Timeline, and Batch without losing work. Add clips to Batch from the Media panel or use the Read File node within Batch to bring in clips from anywhere on the network. Clips containing stereo tracks can be brought in as well as clips of any resolution and bit depth. Note that some nodes require all source clips to be of the same resolution and bit depth. Clip settings can be accessed directly from Batch.
