Welcome to my personal dump.
Hi, I'm Bob. I've finally created a central place to post all the random bits of crap I produce... and as luck would have it, this is that place.
SmartScope Duo 4K controller for Autodesk Flame
Newly updated for Flame 2023.2!
SmartScope-Flame is a Python script for Autodesk Flame which gives you control over a Blackmagic Design SmartScope Duo 4K from right inside Flame. This minor update supports Flame 2023.2 and puts the menu entries back in the same order they used to be instead of alphabetical.
Download and instructions can be found on my SmartScope-Flame GitHub.
CompTrans - A new Matchbox Transition shader
CompTrans is a simple Matchbox Transition shader for Autodesk Flame, Flame Assist, Flare and Smoke that simply comps the incoming shot with its alpha over the outgoing shot – useful for things like custom wipes.

SRT to CSV Converter for Nuendo
Have an .srt subtitle file and want to convert it to a .csv file for import into Steinberg Nuendo as markers for ADR? Look no further! This is a simple purpose-built web-based tool I created to help someone out on the Nuendo forums. Click here to use it.
flameslater
I've released the first public version of flameslater, a script for Autodesk Flame that takes .csv files and turns them into .ttg Text setup files for batch creation of slates. Never re-type long spot titles or complicated spot codes again. Check it out it on my GitHub.
Illegal - A new Matchbox shader
Illegal is a utility Matchbox shader for Autodesk Flame, Flame Assist, Flare and Smoke that highlights pixels that are potentially illegal when converted into YUV colorspace.

Updated 23-Aug-2017: You can now optionally switch off RGB->YUV conversion to analyze the original RGB channels for highlighting under/over values.
Guidance - A new(ish) Matchbox shader
Guidance is a Matchbox shader for Autodesk Flame, Flame Assist, Flare and Smoke, that draws adjustable horizontal and vertical guides that can be used as a quick and easy visual alignment reference, or for measuring.
Grab Guidance from the Logik Matchbook site.
SMPTE 2046-2 Overlays for Flame
Download overlay guides for SMPTE 2046-2 Safe Action and Safe Title areas, in HD and UHD, for Autodesk Flame, Smoke, etc. Includes 4x3 raster cutoff reference and center-cut safe guides.
Premultiply - Matchbox shader
Premultiply is a utility Matchbox shader for Autodesk Flame/Smoke/etc. that does pretty much what its name suggests: Premultiplies fills by their mattes – it can unpremultiply too. Now with user-selectable background color for both premultiply and unpremultiply.
Croptastic - Matchbox shader
Ever needed to quickly crop a tagline off a logo or do a quick split-screen and felt irritation having to do it with a GMask when all you wanted was a perfectly straight line? Well, irritate no more and get Croptastic, a matchbox shader for Autodesk Flame, Flare, Smoke, etc.
Asterisk Primer
Looking to start playing with Asterisk but daunted by the number of configuration files and don't know where to start? Check out my Asterisk Primer and learn how to set up a system from scratch.
(NOTE: This primer is pretty long in the tooth, I will update it at some point..)
PinnedDown 2.1
Hurray, it's a new version of PinnedDown! Since Avid finally completed the demise of Avid DS after a 15 year slow-murder since acquiring it, I've switched to Autodesk Flame and added support for it in this new version of PinnedDown.
PinnedDown is a plugin for Lightwave 3D which takes up to 4 objects (usually NULLs) and exports their 2D screen position keyframes into Autodesk Flame, Flame Assist, etc. .ascii files, suitable for import into Action bilinear surfaces, or to Avid DS .fraw files for import into the Tracker effect.
For more info and download links, hit up the PinnedDown page.
