Sparks
Important: Sparks were software plug-ins created by Autodesk or third-party developers. As part of the continuous modernization of Autodesk Flame Family products, Sparks support was dropped in Flame Family 2024. For more details see the Sparks Deprecation FAQ.
Sparks effects can no longer be created in Batch, Timeline, and Effects or accessed from the Tools tab.
Sparks in older Batch setups or on a Timeline segment can't be edited but can still be rendered, except for computers equipped with Apple silicon. On Apple silicon, Sparks can't be rendered so you have to either contact the Spark vendor and ask them if it can be converted to an OpenFX or start the application using the Rosetta option.
