Flame includes pre-defined import options for each available file format. While these presets should answer most of your needs, there are times you might want a different debayering settings for .r3d files, or rename a clip on import.
Note: Whenever you change an import option, the new setting is saved to the project structure. This means that archiving a project archives the import options. Or this ensures that when transferring a project to another workstation, it is possible to import new media in the transferred project using the same import options settings.
To customize the import options of a selected file:
- In the MediaHub, click the Format Options tab.
- In the file browser, navigate to, and double-click the media file to import.
The Selected Format field displays the format of the selected file.
- From the Options box, select a category of options to edit.
- Edit the options as needed.
The import options are saved automatically; no need for a manual save.
Flame will import media of that format using the new options.
- Drag and drop the media file from the browser to the Media Library. A new clip is created, using the new import options.
To customize the import options at any time:
- Click the MediaHub tab.
- In the MediaHub menu, click the Format Options tab.
- Enable Show All Formats.
- From the Selected Format box, select the media format to edit.
- From the Options box, select the category of options to change.
- Edit the options as needed.
The import options are saved automatically; no need for a manual save. From now on, media of that format are imported using the options you have set.
