Tools for filmmakers

• Avid Filmmaker's Toolkit includes:
  • Avid FilmScribe with Matchback for comprehensive cutlist generation for editing film-originated projects and creating frame-accurate cutlists, change lists, optical pull lists, and other formats for final film and DI assembly
  • Avid Log Exchange (ALE) - file format purpose-built for importing a cut list into an Avid system, so that only the selected material is digitized
  • Film Effects - mimic optically-generated film effects such as dissolves, fades, and aspect ratios
  • Dupe Detection - prevent accidentally re-using the same material
  • AutoSync - quick and easy synchronization of picture and sound via common timecode, IN points or OUT points
  • Script-Based Editing - visually link multiple shots to corresponding sections of the script, and edit directly from the script
• Widest range of pulldown support, including the industry's only live capture of NORMAL pulldown (2:3:2:3) over 1394, and pulldown in all relationships (rather than just the "A" frame relationship that others are limited to)
• Play back 23.976/24 sequences with pulldown out to NTSC over FireWire
• Widest range of film formats, including many such as VistaFilm and 65mm 15-perf (IMAX) not found in other software
• Mixed film gauges in the same timeline for maximum format flexibility
• FluidFilm, to create the look of progressive media, including 2:3 pulldown, from interlaced sources
• A variety of tools for double-system audio workflows, including native support for BWAV files with audio timecode, AutoSync, and quarter-frame slip to provide rock-solid sync aligned with perf boundaries (35mm projects)
• Integrated film metadata - no need for a separate application to track feet and frames (Xpress Pro tracks up to 7 different time codes at once), KEYCODES, Ink Numbers and Aux Ink Numbers, and other critica l information for maximum format flexibility
