NUCODA INTEGRATED WITH AUTOMATIC DUCK'S PRO EXPORT FCP

The Automatic Duck and Nucoda workflow adds the ability to export edit information from FCP in AAFs, linking to the original MOV files or to rendered-out MXF files. The files can then be imported directly into Digital Vision’s Nucoda or Phoenix line of products for grading or restoration. In an integrated workflow, the editor finalizes the edit in the background, as the colorist grades. Updated edits come from FCP, which can be merged by the colorist, allowing the edit to remain unlocked, nearly until delivery.

Once finishing is complete, the project is exported from Nucoda or Phoenix, and opened in FCP with Automatic Duck’s Pro Import FCP.  At that point, titles and final effects can be rendered for the final mixdown delivery. Automatic Duck's project interchange from FCP to AAF, and vice versa, allows Digital Vision's customers to use the editing tools best suited to their current project and budget, with best-of-class grading, finishing, and restoration tools.
