Struggling with Metadata or VFX Workflow Tasks?
Spend less time on repetitive technical tasks and more time on creative editing. Our tools can help simplify your workflow and reduce the workload.
ALE / XML / CSV Processing and Workflow Support
Depending on downstream production requirements, metadata files provided with dailies may need to be properly imported and integrated into the editorial workflow. The metadata can then be utilized in various ways, such as exporting it as part of an EDL or CSV file, or burning selected metadata into proxy images.
You can easily generate structured lists from EDL, ALE, XML, CSV, and OTIO files. You can try this workflow directly in your browser with our free EDL Table Viewer.
For more advanced workflows—such as converting between file formats, mapping or embedding metadata into different fields, or burning metadata into the image—we can provide solutions using tools such as EDLMerger and other custom utilities.
Please feel free to contact us to discuss your specific workflow requirements.
Reducing the VFX Editorial Workload
On productions without a dedicated VFX Editor, the editorial team often needs to take on a wide range of VFX-related responsibilities. These may include managing VFX shots, building and maintaining VFX timelines, assigning and entering VFX shot names, and exporting EDLs in the required format.
Our EDLMerger software provides the following features:
- Creation of VFX shot lists with thumbnails
- VFX shot naming
- Burn-in of VFX shot names into proxy files
- Generation of EDLs containing VFX shot names
EDLMerger streamlines these tasks and reduces the editorial team’s manual workload. Please contact us to discuss your workflow.
