HD/SD Finishing With Avid DS Nitris

If you shot your footage in HD, then look no further than the Avid DS Nitris. There is no better HD finishing system…anywhere. The Avid DS Nitris system offers multi-stream, 10-bit uncompressed HD, Avid DNxHD, and SD finishing and mastering, as well as 2K/4K file-based editing with real-time 2K playback. It combines advanced creative and finishing software with high-performance hardware for guaranteed real-time editing and effects. The Avid DS Nitris accepts industry standard project formats such as AAF, EDL, and OMF, so you can use the extremely powerful DS Toolsets on projects off-lined on other systems.  It breezes through long-form shows as well as promos.

HD/SD Finishing With Avid Symphony Nitris

If the DS is more than you need, look no further than Avid Symphony Nitris. Symphony offers a complete set of real-time creative and corrective finishing tools, a wide range of plug-ins, and multi-format HD/SD editing, mastering and versioning (including 24p, 25p, PAL, NTSC, 16:9/15:9, and 4:3). Among its tools, Symphony offers a high-quality, real-time color correction system with secondary color correction, Ultimatte keying, motion tracking and stabilization.

HD/SD Finishing With Apple Final Cut Pro

In addition, the Final Cut Studio package includes Apple Motion for easily created visual effects, and Apple Soundtrack Pro for audio creation, editing and repair.

We can finish the project you started!

If you have started a project on your own equipment, think of us as a total finishing resource. We will only get as involved with your project as you like. Bring us the project on a portable hard drive, and we can apply our experience to all or part of your show. We can create scene transitions, motion graphics pieces, 3D effects, perform complex compositing, design some sound effects into your audio, add surround audio mixing, color correction—the entire range of Henninger services. The finished additions are placed back on your hard drive and you may choose to incorporate them into your finished project yourself.
