EDITING

We have a state of the art Avid Xpress Pro HD and Final Cut Studio edit suites. These are industry standard editing suites ideally suited to corporate and medium to low cost broadcast production. Both have a full range of video transitions and filters including 3D effects, wipes, mixes, chroma key and a sophisticated titling tools. The systems can be used for both PAL (UK) and NTSC (USA/Japan) productions as well as High Definition. Projects can be exported from our Avid to other Avid systems or to one of our DVD authoring packages. We can import to our suites from XDCAM, HDCAM, DVCPRO HD, HDV, Digibeta, BetaSP, DVCAM and DVCPRO via SDi.

The main edit suite is complimented by a full suite of CD and DVD authoring software. A second standalone computer is networked to the edit suite for additional rendering and encoding capabilities.

LOCATION EDITING

We also have a fully configured Mac laptop computer with both Avid andFinal Cut Studio software that can be used to edit programmes to broadcast quality (including HD) on location. The laptop system is fully compatible with our main edit suite so projects and files can be easily transferred from one system to the other. Modern laptops are very powerful these days and ours is almost as powerful as our main system. It can be used to edit a programme, author a DVD and produce the master disk with it's built in DVD writer. Our crew vehicle has a built in mains electricity supply so we can run the editing equipment even in the remotest of locations for extended periods. We have 12v field recorders to compliment the laptop as well as add-on storage for larger projects.

Combine our laptop with our DVCAM camcorder and you have a great combination for news gathering and conferences. Broadcast quality, records for up to 3 hours, portable and efficient. You can even use it to encode your finished item and send it over the internet.

Editing is £450.00 per day, HD or SD
