About Flame

Autodesk Flame is a finishing and visual effects (VFX) software for film and TV production. It integrates 3D compositing, color grading, and timeline editing into a single environment, accelerated by AI-powered tools for tasks like object isolation.

Autodesk Flame is a high-end software solution for visual effects (VFX), 3D compositing, and finishing in film and television production. It provides an integrated environment where artists can perform timeline editing, color correction, and complex 3D scene creation without switching between different applications. Flame incorporates artificial intelligence to accelerate workflows, offering features like semantic keyers for isolating human features, skies, and other objects, as well as machine learning-based tools for timewarping and upscaling footage. The software supports node-based compositing, next-generation camera tracking, and a robust color grading toolset compatible with HDR workflows and Dolby Vision. Deployment is available for Linux workstations and on the AWS cloud, facilitating collaborative projects. While detailed pricing requires contacting a reseller, a 30-day free trial is available. Support is provided through Autodesk's comprehensive online portal, which includes documentation, community forums, and an AI assistant.
