Better, faster, and more affordable.
FINAL CUT STUDIO — Apple’s industry-leading post-production suite now includes significant upgrades to Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Soundtrack Pro, and updated versions of Color and Compressor. You can edit faster and at higher quality across a wide variety of workflows with the new ProRes 4444 codec for compositing and digital workflows that require the highest-possible quality.

RED — Unlike alternative high-end acquisition tools, RED is the only tool that easily affords users the flexibility to choose custom finishing paths from HD tape through 4K DI. RED is the only acquisition tool that allows for independent film desktop finishing. Because R3D 4K files are QuickTime aware, RED provides the only render free offline solution for start-to-finish post production. RED's out-of-the-box thinking has hands-down created the most streamlined Digital Intermediate workflow ever experienced.

Qube! is the leading render farm management system for film and post production. Ideal for rendering and build processing alike, Qube! has demonstrated that it can improve productivity and increase content quality while optimizing hardware resources. Combining state-of-the-art techniques for batch queuing, distributed processing and render farm management, Qube! maximizes job throughput and accelerates the millions of computational tasks that occur during the graphics rendering and software build processes.
