Core Features

Flexible Color Format 

CLIPSTER uses a high-precision, procedural color-processing pipeline to mix and match any color format in the timeline, allowing the user to select the target color container that all clips will be converted to. 

Mix and Match Codecs

Whether working with compressed or uncompressed formats, CLIPSTER can handle them all at the same time. 

Mix and match different codecs alongside uncompressed frame sequences – CLIPSTER won’t skip a beat. 

Mix Resolutions

If you have a mix of HD, 2K, UHD and 4K, each can be combined within the same timeline and formatted to the desired output and can be switched on the fly. 

Input Any File Type or Video Signal 

CLIPSTER supports an extensive list of file formats that are supported natively in the timeline without any preprocessing, and captures material in the highest quality from SDI inputs. 

Conforming to Non-Linear Timeline 

CLIPSTER timeline works just like a non-linear editor, including a conforming tool to aid in assembly. 

Combining a non-linear timeline with the power of the resolution and format-independent processing engine behind it makes CLIPSTER a workhorse for high-end post-production workflows. 

Customizable file-based media 

CLIPSTER can output to an extensive list of file formats through a customizable generic file output setup. The finalize tool allows you to customize an output to meet a proprietary delivery specification. 

Video-Tape-Based Media 

CLIPSTER has a tried and true I/O tool to create tape deliverables in SD and HD directly from the timeline. 

Standardized File-Based Media 

CLIPSTER has highly refined output wizards to simplify the creation of standardized formats such as DCP, IMP, AS02 and AS11, so that the outputs are constrained to comply with standards and ensure interoperability.
