Sydney – 7 April 2004: Australian
software developer PopSoft IT today announced the release of their new
Windows-based negative matching software application called Film
Fusion.
The
software is designed to drastically reduce the time needed to match
film negative for a cinema or television release. Pioneering the use
of the software, Australian post-production companies have already
seen the time required to create cut lists and EDLs (Edit Decision
Lists) reduced by more than 80%.
“Film Fusion will create a new
industry standard,” said Matthew Kane, Film Fusion’s developer
and founder of PopSoft IT. “It has been six years since there was any
significant development in the software available. Meanwhile the film
industry has changed dramatically and is racing toward the digital
realm,” he added.
Advances in Film Fusion allow Negative Matchers to seamlessly
and accurately process EDLs (Edit Decision Lists) and log film rushes
to produce frame accurate cut lists for conforming work print or
negative. The software allows for the complete management of all
phases of the conforming process.
Film Fusion’s
key features include:
-
Windows 2000, XP and XP Pro compatible.
-
Matchback capability between video and film to
create cut lists, optical lists, dupe lists and pull lists.
-
Creates frame count lists for scanning.
-
Creates grading and notching EDLs as well as
online EDLs (reverse telecine).
-
Accurate desktop logging of film using keycode
scanners.
-
Reliable telecine log importing.
-
Import and export to XML and Excel and to
industry standard file formats such as Flex, ALE, OSC/R, CMX 3400 &
CMX 3600 EDLs.
-
Compatible with 16mm and 35mm 4 perf, 3 perf and
2 perf.
-
Enhanced error detection.
-
PAL and NTSC compatible.
Film Fusion is already being
successfully used at three Sydney post production companies - Vision
Matching, Negthink and Chris Rowell Productions.
A
Film Fusion software license (PAL and NTSC) starts at AUD$7,000
with volume discounts also available.
