Pomfort has launched Reeltime Pro, a new application for professional video playback in film production settings. Available for a free beta download, Reeltime Pro is tailored for on-set usage, offering dynamic video playback capabilities.
This software stands out by providing immediate video feedback for various creative professionals on film sets. Utilizing the advanced Apple silicon architecture, Reeltime Pro ensures swift interactions across common use cases with a variety of configuration and routing options.
Advanced Routing and Compositing Capabilities
The application boasts a robust routing and compositing engine, complemented by a range of window layout options. Users can benefit from auto-record configurations for both individual camera feeds and grouped inputs, inclusive of synchronized audio. This allows for the creation of customized output views with numerous live feeds, playback options, and video filters, addressing the diverse requirements of different roles on set.
Slot-Based User Interface
A key feature of Reeltime Pro is its slot-based user interface, an evolved concept from Pomfort’s Livegrade. This design caters specifically to the challenges of video playback, enabling efficient management and routing of live and playback signals. The software offers a variety of slot types and modes, allowing the presentation of single or multiple signals, signal comparisons with different layouts, and the application of filters or composites for audience-specific customization.
Group Recording and Playback Functionality
Reeltime Pro enhances efficiency with smart clip control and automation features. Its auto-record function is activated by SDI signal-embedded record flags. For multi-camera setups, the application supports synchronized group recordings. Users can mark specific sections during recording for targeted playback, with the additional capability of setting multiple ranges within a single take.
Versatile UI Layout Options
The software offers a range of window layouts to suit different monitoring needs. For instance, users working on smaller displays, such as a MacBook Pro, can opt for a multi-view layout during recording and playback. This flexibility extends to the library and output slots, allowing for the efficient comparison of clips and monitoring of outgoing signals.
Comprehensive Clip Library
Pomfort’s clip library feature in Reeltime Pro allows for customized table layouts, facilitating quick retrieval of clips. Users can search the library using text, clip ratings, or flags, and manage shot metadata for individual or multiple clips. The software also includes a Smart Groups feature for organizing clips based on metadata, along with a skimming feature for quick review of specific actions within clips.
Integration with External Devices and Controls
Reeltime Pro is designed for compatibility with external control devices like the Stream Deck and supports AJA and Blackmagic Video I/O devices as well as SDI Video routers. Its router control panel simplifies video signal management, allowing the creation of multiple video routing configurations that can be managed through the Stream Deck or automated based on specific events.
