2D/3D Animation Software
Nucoda Ltd., a developer of advanced digital media solutions for film and video, is demonstrating new features for its award-winning Film Master film and video finishing solution, at SIGGRAPH 2004. The new features are designed to enhance productivity and optimize workflow for DI and VFX houses.
Features include Virtual Film Outs for previewing frames in native
2K resolution with accurate 3D LUTs; a new easy to use timeline with versioning, job/shuttle controls and monitor tools; real-time full-screen grading options with the ability to export meta data to other packages; an Open FX API for image effects and color management; and fully scriptable operation allowing render farm integration.
For the video market, Nucoda is debuting a new video batch capture capability and a range of options for VTR emulation to provide users with a more efficient workflow.
Also at SIGGRAPH 2004, Nucoda is holding technology demonstrations of a new integrated quality control tool-set for Film Master. This new capability, which will begin shipping in upcoming versions, includes The Foundry's Furnace 2 plug-ins (available Q3 2004) and powerful dust-busting and dirt removal with Nucoda Paint (available Q1 2005).
The new quality control tool-set fits tightly into Film Master's end-to-end film finishing workflow which enables artists and editors to conform an entire motion picture, edit, perform digital grading, create visual effects and output to multiple formats. Users will also benefit from a new keyer which has been redesigned to bring greater accuracy and improved productivity to the core grading process. The new keyer is faster and easier to use, providing a sophisticated interface to Film Master's comprehensive color correction tools.
Nucoda Film Master also includes:
* Unlimited layers of color correction with: 1, 2, 4 and multipoint
tracking, Rotoscoping, Keying, Blur and erode, Matte Boolean and math operators
* Real-time saturation, brightness and contrast
* Histograms and CC graphs.
* Soft clip for blacks and whites
* RGBA compositing for elements and titles
* Do & Trim behaviour on the Control Surface
* Integrated HD I/O
* Multi-threaded rendering and optimisations
* Enhanced key-bar and animation controls
* Optional Tinder and Furnace plug-in sets from The Foundry
Nucoda Film Master including new features for DI and VFX houses is available immediately from Nucoda and Nucoda's international reseller network. The new quality control tool-set will become available during Q3 2004 and Q1
2005 also direct from Nucoda and from Nucoda's international reseller network.
