Framecurve is supported in many applications through scripts and workflows that we provide. We took care to implement sane tools for as many packages as we could. We hope that throughout the development of the standard vendors will also adopt Framecurve as a standard and will provide out-of-the-box solutions for theur products.
| Application | Export from the application | Import into the application |
|---|---|---|
| Final Cut Pro 7.+ (not FCPX) | Yes, via XML and the framecurve ruby gem | - |
| Autodesk Flame, Smoke, Backdraft and Flare | Yes, via the flame_channel_parser ruby gem | Yes, via the flame_channel_parser ruby gem |
| The Foundry Nuke | Yes, via the built-in "export value + ASCII" function | Yes, via the framecurve python script |
| Sidefx Houdini | - | Yes, via the provided Houdini OTL |
| Autodesk Maya | - | Yes, via the provided MEL script |
| Adobe AfterEffects | Yes, via the provided .jsx scripts | Yes, via the provided .jsx scripts |
We hope to be able to expand the number of supporting applications in the future. If you implement framecurve support for a specific application, please contact us so that we can include it into the offered packages here.
For the benefit of R&D professionals who would like to implement Framecurve in their workflows, we provide the following libraries:
| Language | Functions | Where to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Ruby | Parsing, validation, serialization, XML file extraction | framecurve gem on Github, or gem install framecurve |
| Python | Parsing, validation, serialization | framecurve_python on Github |
