More detail on these options is available in: Project-Based Colour Settings.

Project

Working Colour Space option

Select the default colour space for the project. This is available as the "From Project" option in various colour space menus. This is configured from the "scene_linear" role in the config.

Action Colour Space option

Select the default colour space to be used in Action, GMask Tracer, and the Effects tab. This is configured from the "rendering" role in the config.

Displays

Video Preview Display option

Select the display from your OCIO config file that best describes your Video Preview Device.

Graphics Display option

Select the display from your OCIO config file that best describes your Graphics Monitor. To use high dynamic range mode, you may enable the use of HDR displays in the Flame Setup application. That will lock this menu to "ST2084-P3-D65 - Display".

Sync with OS

Available only on macOS. Automatically use the ICC monitor profile specified in your macOS System Preferences for the Graphics Monitor. If your OCIO config file has a virtual display defined, those views will be used with the new display. Note that ICC profiles only enable standard dynamic range (SDR) output. To use high dynamic range, you may enable the use of HDR displays in the Flame Setup application.

Scopes Display option

Select the display from your OCIO config file to be used for waveform monitors and vectorscopes. If the views available for this display differ from your Graphics Monitor or Video Preview Device, you may want to switch to "Do not Sync" in your View settings and Scopes Settings Preferences.

Transform Settings

Default CDL Style option

Set the type of clamping to use by default. Select "No Clamping" or "ASC v1.2", where the latter clamps the output to a normalized [0,1] range.

3D-LUT Interpolation option

Set the type of interpolation to use for 3D-LUTs by default (on both CPU and GPU). Tetrahedral is somewhat higher quality and Trilinear is somewhat faster. Note that if the OCIO config file or a Colour Transform File (CTF or CLF) specifies a specific interpolation to be used, that will take precedence.

Menu Settings

Menu Filtering option

Select "Filter Menus by Category" to use the category attribute of colour spaces in the OCIO config file to filter the list of colour spaces shown in application menus. Select "Show All Items" to turn off the filtering. Note that roles, alias names, and inactive colour spaces are never shown in menus.

Media-Relative Look Search Path

Media-Relative Look Search Path field

Populate with a path (or multiple colon separated paths) to a .cc, .ccc or .cdl file, for it to be automatically imported by the Look Timeline FX. The application first searches for a name pattern match between the timeline segment and the file. If no file of the same name is found, the first .cc, .ccc or .cdl file available in the path is used.

OCIO Config Export

Name field

Enter the name for your exported config, then click Export.

Export

Export an OpenColorIO config that contains the modifications you have made. This includes the Working and Action Colour Space, Input Rules, Views, and global Context Variables, along with any user-defined Project Custom Colour Spaces or View Transforms. In addition, this will contain the core colour spaces and aliases Flame needs to add to your source config. Select "Generate OCIOZ" to export the config and LUTs as a compressed OCIOZ archive file. Note that if your source config is already an OCIOZ archive file, the export is not possible.

OCIO Paths

OCIO Config Path field

This shows the path to the OpenColorIO config file used for this project. This may be modified from the Project Management panel.

Reload Config button

If you make any changes to the OCIO config file or the LUT files it references, you must reload in order to pull in those updates. A dialog box will give you the option to either preserve or clear any modifications or overrides you have made to the config via the application user interface.

Project Custom Colour Spaces field

This is where any colour spaces or view transforms that are overrides to your OCIO source config are stored. If you export a config, this will be a merger of your source config, the Project Custom Colour Spaces config, and the Flame core colour spaces config.

OCIO Config Shared Path field

This shows the path where exported OCIO configs are saved. Configs at this location may easily be used when creating new projects.

The shared directory may be moved to a different path by editing the shared_folders entry in the /opt/Autodesk/cfg/<VERSION>/sysconfig.cfg file.

Input Rules

Input File Rules table

The Input Rules (also known as File Rules in OCIO) allow you to assign a colour space to media based on its filename. The Extension field applies to the file extension (do not include the dot) and is not case-sensitive. The Pattern field applies to the entire path (except the file extension) and is case-sensitive. The Extension and Pattern fields use Unix "Glob" style pattern matching. A "*" matches any characters. Brackets "[ ]" may be used to match groups of characters or override case-sensitivity. Alternatively, you may specify a Regular Expression (Regex) instead of the Pattern and Extension. You may create a rule named "ColorSpaceNamePathSearch" to search for colour space names or aliases in the file path. The Default rule must always be present. The Input Rules are lower in priority than information in the file metadata, for example, digital cinema camera native formats generally won't use the Input Rules.

Viewing Rules

Views Editor table

The Views editor allows you to define how viewports show media and how thumbnails are displayed. The rows of this table are taken from the Shared Views in your OCIO config. The "View Transform" menu allows you to select a View Transform, Colour Space, or Named Transform from the OCIO config to use for that view. The Allowed Colour Spaces allows you to use viewing rules to control which views are available based on the tagged colour space of the media. The highest view in the table for a given Allowed Colour Space will be the default view that is used by viewports and for creating thumbnails. The Allowed Displays column allows you to control which displays have access to a selected view. The initial values in this column are controlled by the display/view mapping in your OCIO config (a value of "Mixed" indicates the view is used by a mix of SDR and HDR displays). Toggling the icon in the left-most column allows you to bypass or mute a given view. The Looks column indicates if a Shared View has any Look Transforms assigned to it.

Create

Create a new view/rule. Once any rules are created or edited, all rules will be taken from your Project Custom Config rather than from your original config file.

Duplicate

Duplicate the selected view/rule.

Delete

Delete the selected view/rule.

Priority Up

Raise the priority of a view/rule. Views/Rules higher in the table take precedence over lower ones.

Priority Down

Lower the priority of a view/rule. Views/Rules higher in the table take precedence over lower ones.

Reset Rules

Reset the views/rules to what is present in your OCIO config file.

Diagnostics

Diagnostic Shortcuts table

Use this table to create shortcuts that will set specific Exposure, Contrast, and Gamma settings in a viewport.

Reset All

Reset all of the values set in the Diagnostics shortcuts table.

Context Variables

Project Context Variables

This table allows you to override the context variables defined in your OCIO config file. These values are automatically shared with external services such as Burn. Your config must contain an environment section which declares all context variables used in the config, otherwise this table will be empty.

Reset Context Variables

Restore the context variables to the values specified in the environment section of the OCIO config file. Note that after the project is created, any changes to the values in the environment section of the config files are not pulled in without doing a reset.
