Flame – How to start

[Nephilim87]

Hey all,
a few weeks ago I started to learn flame. Unfortunately the guy, who’s teaching me flame has no time because of other compositing-jobs. Could you give me some links for tutorials? I am an absolutely beginner, I don’t know anything and I really would like to learn this programm. And another question is: how can I make screenshots in order to understand my workflow?
greetings

There is a Flame 101 (entry) class in the current term at fxphd. The term is nearing the end but if you join before it ends you can still get any classes you missed.

The class description is as follows:

Many people have wanted a simple introduction to the flame. Starting at the basics Mark Vandenbergen covers how to use flame and all the main modules. Mark started with one of the first flame’s ever, and worked around the world on Flame, including a stint at the then Discreet Logic designing UI. Mark takes a straight forward approach allowing someone who perhaps is an assistant to move up to doing jobs of their own. This is a unique course as most Flame material is aimed at more senior users, and skips the fundamentals of starting out with this powerhouse visual effects product.

This class was very frequently requested when we started fxphd. No idea if it will be repeated next term.

Thank you for your quick reply. Are there other ways to get introduced into flame? I’m a student apprentice, and can’t afford this course right now… 🙁

Well you can try a get hold of green/blue screen footage and learn how to paint clean frames and remove traking markers. how to key in the keyer how to roto/mask, then try and get some bad green screen then figure ways of getting a good key and paintig the rest. once you have learnt these you can then go into action in start comping the plates together. then eventually in time enter the world of batch. what flame you working on? is it a Linux or SGI?

it would be the best 300 bucks you’ve spent if you want to learn flame fast.
