Conforming and Re-Purposing Your Video
In today’s world video editing utilizes many different workflows. Many of these workflows take your video content on a journey across a variety of editing platforms when dealing with any of the factors below:
· Multiple Formats
· Multiple Frame Rates
· Differing Compression Standards
· Multilingual Versions
· High Resolution & Low resolution
You need a proven method to conform your video content. Editboost is the perfect tool for a quicker and more exact conformation process.
How Does it Work?
Here is just one example of a potential Conform nightmare.
Imagine the following workflow scenario. You film using high resolution RED equipment but want to use your familiar Avid setup for editing.
Your workflow might look something like this:
· Film in hi-res
· Low-res proxy
· Edit in low-res, say on your Avid station
· Render/apply your changes to the original high-res version
Sounds easy, but if you’ve been there, then you know how tough it is to get it all right: time-codes, syncs, shot mismatches, shot speeds, frame-rates, pull-downs, re-scales, footage formats, durations, heads/tails incompatibilities and many other issues.
One way to handle all of this, is to use manual eye-match in a time consuming and error prone process. But now there is Editboost! EditBoost can save hours, days, and weeks of your precious time, and provide higher quality results.
How Does EditBoost Help?
For any video segment you want to locate in any format (hi-res or low-res) you simply allow EditBoost to generate indexes for the files involved and then select the clip you need to find. EditBoost will output an EDL file with a list of the clips that contain your Master and the corresponding in/out frame numbers.
Applicable to Any Video Conforming Scenario
The success of your video Conforming is vital no matter what your workflow.
You face the challenge regardless of the tool or environment you work in, whether Final Cut Pro or Avid, Standard Definition or High Definition.
Here’s just one more example: consider the challenges of a feature film returning for completion of the Digital Intermediate (DI). EditBoost offers an easy way to generate offline EDL to support trace-back to the original RAW content.
EditBoost can help you identify the exact segments you need in each step in your workflow.
With EditBoost, the sky is the limit on the scenarios you can improve by using EditBoost.
