In parts 1 and 2 of the Physical Defocus series, you learnt how to create depth of field blurring in an Action 3D composite as well as with CG render passes for final look development.

In both cases, the 3D depth was already provided since all the examples originated in a virtual 3D environment and the camera depth was provided in the form of Z-depth map.

In part 3, the situation is somewhat different when it comes to live action footage.

Unless the shooting camera is able to capture the depth of the scene, normally no depth information is provided.

So in order to use Physical Defocus with live action material in Flame, you can use machine learning to analyse the shot and produce the required Z-depth information.

3D Tracking with Camera Analysis - P1 - Introduction - Flame 2022 11:49

לפני 4 years11:49

11:49

In this video, you’ll start learning all about the new 3D camera tracking tools in Flame 2022. This new technology uses “simultaneous localization and mapping techniques” better known as SLAM 3D tracking, and it should help you tackle most 3D tracking challenges directly in Flame. This could be adding objects into a scene, clean-up work with projections, set extensions and more. This works in all colour spaces provided that your tracking plate is correctly tagged and colour managed. And like all 3D trackers, the camera needs to be moving in the shot and any parallax will definitely help solve the camera’s movement. This video serves as your high-level introduction into the new 3D tracking and the upcoming videos will dive deeper into the toolset and showcase various scenarios.…

In this video on 3D tracking with Camera Analysis, you’ll learn how to exclude certain parts of your image when performing a 3D track. This becomes a necessity when there is any unwanted movement in the shot. For example, moving people, animals, cars or even flowing water. So the best approach is to predict the unwanted movement before the analysis takes place. You’ll first learn the workflow of excluding areas with a mask and then you’ll learn the second workflow of excluding areas with Machine Learning. These are very power tools and both options are worth exploring.…

One common task that we do every day as compositors is image clean up. So you need to remove something whether it was intentional or not. So in this video, you’ll learn how to clean up your shots using a combination of 3D tracking and projection. Please bear in mind that these techniques can also be used to add objects into the shot. So you’ll start off with looking at the shot and creating a clean frame. Next, you’ll analyse the camera movement for the 3D track. And finally, you’ll produce the cleaned-up shot by projecting the clean frame either over a flat 3d shape or 3D geometry generated by the point cloud.…

In part 8 of the Machine Learning series, we examine a series of performance enhancements for Machine Learning and internally generated Motion Vectors in the Timeline in the Flame 2021.2 Update. When using Machine Learning Models and generated Motion Vectors Maps, Flame will now cache the frames to disk to enhanced performance. This removes the need to recalculate the data analysis each time you visit the TimelineFX. Since this type of caching is now part of the project, it can now be managed as well as archived with the Flame project! There is also a new notification when Machine Learning models are initialising to let you know what Flame is doing. And finally, as a new CentOS only feature, the machine learning models are serialised or written to your system disk in order to load faster when you need them. To be clear, this affects the loading times for the machine learning algorithm and not the computations when analysing the footage with a machine learning model.…

In parts 1 & 2 in this series, you learnt how to create, organise and apply TimelineFX via the Explorer. This is great for any VFX or grading workflows and I am sure that you’ll put it to good use! In Part 3, we are going to focus particularly on an isolation tool known as a Selective. This tool is available in the Image and Action toolsets and it creates some very interesting opportunities when it comes to TimelineFX Setups and the Explorer. For example, you can have an Image TimelineFX which contains one or multiple Selectives that builds the VFX or grade of a shot. Using the TimelineFX management workflow with the Explorer, allows you to pick specific Selectives within the Image TimelineFX and create TimelineFX setups. These setups can then be repurposed in other shots or even used to experiment with different variations of the Selective within the same or different Image TimelineFX. So this is pretty powerful functionality and I encourage you to watch how it works in this video.…

Machine Learning - Part 6 - Human Face Extraction - Flame 2021 15:02

לפני 5 years15:02

15:02

With the release of Flame 2021, the machine learning models have been enhanced yet again to give you more choice and flexibility When working on your productions. So previously, the machine learning models were able to recognise and isolate the human body and human head for various finishing tasks. With this new release of Flame, you can now segment various parts of the human face for any compositing, grading and beauty work. So you can isolate the skin, eyes, the mouth, nose, ears and much more. This is all achieved using the familiar Semantic Keyer workflow and the Human Face Segmentation is available in the timeline as well as Batch and BatchFX. We’ll run through some examples to cover the features. But as a usual reminder with Machine Learning, this is not a perfect solution. Similar to all the previous videos, the Machine Learning Models are only as good as their training And depending on certain conditions They may or may not be successful. As long as you try these tools on multiple shots, you’ll eventually understand Which situations may be successful.…

In parts 1 and 2 of the Physical Defocus series, you learnt how to create depth of field blurring in an Action 3D composite as well as with CG render passes for final look development. In both cases, the 3D depth was already provided since all the examples originated in a virtual 3D environment and the camera depth was provided in the form of Z-depth map. In part 3, the situation is somewhat different when it comes to live action footage. Unless the shooting camera is able to capture the depth of the scene, normally no depth information is provided. So in order to use Physical Defocus with live action material in Flame, you can use machine learning to analyse the shot and produce the required Z-depth information.…
