Creating New Export Presets

Flame comes with a number of export presets that should cover most of your needs. But you can also create your own presets.

Whenever you edit an existing preset, it gets appended _custom. That new custom preset remains until you change project, exit Flame, or click Reset.

To create a new export preset:

  1. Select an Export Type.
  2. Select a Format Preset.

    Select the preset that is the closest to what you want, to minimize the amount of required configuration.

  3. Enable Show Advanced Options.
  4. Edit the settings as required.

    Notice how the Format Preset box has appended the preset you selected with the _custom suffix.

  5. Do one of the following:
    • To cancel your edits, click Reset.
    • If this is essentially a one-off customization that you will not need later, click Export to export your sequence. You can always save that preset at a later time: a customized preset remains until you exit Flame or change project.
    • To keep this new preset, click Save. You now the new preset in Project or Shared sections of the Format Preset drop-down menu, and the original preset back in the Autodesk section.
Tip: Consider creating an Export preset with padding set to 0 to export single-frame clips without any file numbering. And to avoid overwriting the media files, Flame will automatically name file sequences of more than one frame with the default padding of 8 digits.
