Matchbox

Matchbox allows you to load a shader, either provided with Flame, or created by a third party.

To load a Matchbox, use:

• Batch, then select a node from the Node bin.
• Timeline, then use Batch FX. See Creating Batch FX.
• Timeline, then add Timeline FX from the Effects ribbon. See Adding Timeline FX.
• Tools, then select from the menu. See Accessing Tools.
• The Modular Keyer, then select the node from the Node bin.

A Matchbox usually accepts a front and a matte clip, and an arbitrary number of additional inputs. It outputs a result and usually an outmatte. Each shader has its own set of controls. The Topics in this section provides descriptions for a number of the more complex Matchbox shaders provided with Flame.
