About Time Remap to Timewarp
FCP Time Remap, both constant and variable, is translated into constant and variable timewarps with keyframes in Flame Premium, except for the following:
- Frame blending used with this effect is not translated.
- Negative constant timewarp speeds are not applied to the audio tracks of the segment being timewarped.
- Variable timewarps are not applied to the audio tracks of the segment being timewarped.
Video Transitions
The names of FCP transitions are preserved in Flame Premium and are visible in the timeline.

Video Generators
The following tables describe generated effects that are translated into equivalent effects in Flame Premium.
Once imported into Flame Premium, effects created with the FCP video generator use the project's default resolution, regardless of their original resolution
in FCP. This matches the behaviour of FCP: XML files with these effects that are reimported into FCP projects with different
resolutions similarly inherit the project's resolution.
