FLEXXITYTM Playout

FLEXXITYTM Playout converts DPX, Quicktime and raw digital cinematography camera clips and generates a master for playout as video, DPX, and encoded file formats. It performs image and audio synchronization, timeline editing, EDL on-line conforming, and optional image processing such as color correction, and image scaling. It handles DPX, R3D, ARRIRAW and QuickTime clips natively. Stereoscopic 3D support includes stereo color matching and parallax adjustments.

Key Features

  • Fast and user-friendly transcoding software tool that natively converts DPX, QuickTime and digital cinematography raw formats (ARRIRAW, Red R3D) to various video and file output formats
  • On-line timeline editing (including real-time dissolves, wipes and varispeed effects)
  • On-line EDL conforming (including real-time dissolves, wipes and varispeed effects)
