efficient dailies creation process...

omfort, a leading provider of professional
software solutions for digital media assets and
color management in motion pictures and broadcast
production, has announced the immediate availability

Silverstack Lab is claimed as the only
software that enables a simultaneous
handling of data management and
dailies creation in one tool. Footage
can be backed up securely and
organized transparently - while
at the same time dailies can be
created. With this simultaneous approach all digital
assets become accessible for review and further
processing at the end of every production day.
Confidence
With its innovative approach Silverstack Lab
gives productions greater confidence to cover
production critical tasks on target and by end of
every production day. Combining data management
and dailies creation in one integrated activity -
and consequently in one responsibility - reduces
interfaces, sources of errors, production inefficiencies and costs. This lean and compact data
management and dailies creation workflow leads to
higher productivity and ultimately gives the entire
team more space for their creative work.
Silverstack Lab serves as the content backbone for
film productions on set and enables to manage data
management and dailies creation activities based
on one central clip library. The library instantly
connects the team with all relevant digital media
assets, including image, audio and look files. It also
serves as the central source of information for all
dailies related tasks. Combined with a whole range
of powerful features, Silverstack Lab merges and
streamlines the essential production tasks data
management and dailies creation in one integrated
activity.
Wizard
Silverstack Lab comes with an incorporated
matching wizard that automatically associates

clips with appropriate digital looks and syncs
corresponding audio tracks. Complemented by a
high-speed transcoding engine, which lets users
simultaneously transcode clips to all common file
formats, including DNxHD MXF, ProRes flavours, and
H.264 clips, the dailies creation task reaches a whole
new level of productivity. With the library as hub for
managing and ensuring completeness of transcodes,
it becomes possible to provide dailies clips instantly
to the entire team for review, analysis, approval and
processing.
"I have been a Silverstack user from the very early
days, and it's great to see where the product is
heading. Based on our initial tests of the latest beta
and the use in our last commercial project, I can
say that Silverstack Lab really opens up a striking
way how data and dailies can be processed," says
Denis Spycher, who runs Dithouse.com, a company
that offers the full range of DIT services. "When you
work on set and you are responsible for securing
footage and delivering dailies, you want a tool that
helps you track the entire process, that is fast, and
that you can rely on. Silverstack Lab covers all these
requirements in a seamless and natural way and I
am fully convinced by the advantages of keeping the
entire project together on one platform."
