Why Flare?

Features

Machine learning

Human face extraction Extract mattes using machine learning with a new human-face region Semantic keyer.	Semantic keyer for sky extraction Isolate skies with a single click to remove clouds, add treatments to sky backgrounds, and more.	Human body and head extraction Isolate human bodies and heads for fast, iterative color grading and light FX treatments on shots.
AI-powered salient keyer Identify and provide a matte for the most obvious object within a bounding box using object recognition tools.	Z-depth map generator Machine learning for live-action, scene-depth reclamation. Color correct and apply effects based on camera distance.	Human face normal map generator Use machine learning to generate 3D surface-orientation bump maps for color adjustment, relighting, and retouching.

3D compositing and VFX

Next-generation automatic Camera motion MatchMove solver Enhanced Camera solver based on SFM (Structure from Motion) and Visual SLAM, with machine learning object detection.	3D selective motion vector mode Feed CG-rendered or analyzed motion vectors directly into 3D selectives to combine with masks.	3D compositing (Action) Combines the interactive speed of traditional 2D compositing and powerful 3D visual effects.
PhysicalDefocus Try the GPU-accelerated rack defocus effect for Image, Action, and Batch.	Cryptomatte render pass support Crypto object, asset, and materials are available in Flame and Flare without having to request re-rendering.

Color grading and finishing

Robust integrated finishing core toolset Apply color and effects in an integrated environment. Connects to Tangent colorist control panels.	MasterGrade: Creative color tool Provides modes optimized to grade the 3 types of color spaces: video, logarithmic, and scene-linear.	The Explorer Save and recall color grading and FX work in the Explorer, a dedicated grade bin and reference comparison area.
