AutoMov
Picture, ready for the session. AutoMov converts video to ProRes or DNxHR for Pro Tools and can put it straight onto a new video track. When the work goes out for approval, it makes the share copy.
What it does
Picture in. Copies out.
Picture in, at stage 01
AutoMov takes the video that arrives with the job: .mov, .mp4, .m4v, .mxf, .avi, .mkv, .mts and .m2ts. It converts it to ProRes or DNxHR, formats Pro Tools is happy with, and can import the result straight onto a new video track in the session.
Copies out, at stage 05
When the work goes to the client for approval, AutoMov makes a share copy: a smaller H.264 MP4 that plays on a Mac or a PC, at 1080p, 720p or the source size.
The highest quality at the smallest size.
