Amsterdam, The
Netherlands - Digital Vision, supplier of picture enhancement systems
for film and television postproduction, announces the development of
Film Master and Phoenix product line 2009 Update 1, its color grading
and remastering solutions.
The company’s image scientists are developing upgrades to Film Master and Phoenix product line 2009, which was launched at NAB. These new tools, which will ship by year's end, will introduce new features that simplify the creative process and support third-party applications, enhancing the grading experience for colorists.
As part of these developments, the company is announcing its support for Interplay, Avid’s popular production asset management system. This feature will enable editors to share entire timelines with colorists. This workflow provides an extra level of automation and streamlines the grading process by enabling metadata transfer and versioning management.
Digital Vision’s new color isolation tool, which provides fast, accurate, and precise color isolation, will benefit users. The new six vector color correction application allows manipulation of multiple colors in a single process. It allows six simultaneous color corrections without creating keys. The tool was designed with the goal of ease-of-use and setup speed.
Another new tool in the Film Master 2009 Update 1 arsenal is variable softness on the mask or secondaries. This allows colorists to carry out a pure vortex radius on both sides of a shape, softening the inside and the outside independently for each point.
