Clipster is now the heart of our DI workflow, replacing the need for multiple products. The system offers online editing of film data, conversion to multiple output formats, color correction and film restoration. Clipster is also capable of handling any resolution, including 4K. Since the system functions in real time, the normal delays in a DI workflow no longer hold up a project.

We’re the only facility with a DI workflow and now we’re one of very few in the world with Clipster. This technology pushes our DI worklow to a whole new level. The performance is astounding. It is, without question, the most powerful DI workflow tool available today. The integration with RED marks a spectacular improvement in our RED workflow. Clipster provides decoding and debayering of 4K REDCODE in real time. The speed of the Clipster system with RED data will allow us to offer clients dailies in one step in full quality. Additionally, Clipster provides DCI mastering and conversion of stereoscopic film data to DCPs in one easy step. This savings in time provides both us and our clients a marked improvement in project timelines.

Clipster gives us time. Now we don’t have to take multiple steps in our workflow to move a project along - this saves the client time and money and allows our creative team to utilize their time doing what they do best as opposed to waiting on the technology to catch up.
