Supported Data
Flame allows you to import multi-track compositions from Apple Final Cut Pro (FCP) or from Adobe Premiere.
The following tables describe the data that is output from FCP and input into
Flame. Sequences from Adobe Premiere should behave the same.
General Data

Flame timeline data.

About Time Remap to Timewarp
To make sure the conform is accurate with the creative editorial decisions from Final Cut Pro 7, the conformed timewarp speed value seen in
Flame Time Warp editor can be slightly different from the one seen in FCP7. But the actual Time Warp Timeline FX will be visually similar to the expected result, and be frame and keyframe accurate. There are exceptions:
- Frame blending used with this effect is not translated.
- Negative constant timewarp speeds are not applied to the audio tracks of the segment being timewarped.
- Variable time warps are not applied to the audio tracks of the segment being timewarped.

Video Generators
The following tables describe generated effects that are translated into equivalent effects in
Flame.
Once imported into
Flame, effects created with the FCP video generator use the project's default resolution, regardless of their original resolution in FCP. This matches the behaviour of FCP: XML files with these effects that are reimported into FCP projects with different resolutions similarly inherit the project's resolution.
