‌Setting up the shot on SynthEyes

You’ll need to have run the ‘Script/Flame/Integrate with Flame’ script at some point, even though you don’t have Flame on your machine, to set up the folder to hold your Flame projects, including this new one.

Create a folder for this project (preferably with the project name from the Flame user) and put the Clip folder and JSON file in it. If you just have the sequence, for consistency you can put it in a folder named Clip in the project folder, or wherever your configuration dictates, though that’s not essential.

If you have a JSON file, you can run SynthEyes’s ‘Script/Flame/Load shot setup from Flame’ script and select the JSON file. That will set up the shot, so you can File/Save and move on to the next step.

With no JSON file, you can open the clip manually on your machine. You’ll need to set the exact frame rate and image aspect ratio to the values from the Flame artist. Turn on ‘Match Frame Numbers’ on the Shot Settings panel as you do this. Change to Y-Up axes on Edit/Edit Scene Settings, and set the lens model to Std Radial-4 th.

You should then File/Save As the SynthEyes file to the project’s folder, using the project name as the file name.
