CineWave 4 enhances post-production process

UNITED STATES -- Pinnacle Systems recently began shipping CinéWave 4, delivering new advanced, real-time, offline, online, film and audio capability for the award-winning Apple Final Cut Pro 4. CinéWave 4 enhances the power and feature set of Final Cut Pro 4, and enables the workflow required by most demanding film, broadcast and video post-production projects at a price that is accessible to the entire professional broadcast and post industry.

The shipping version of CinéWave 4 includes features not announced at the product's debut during the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) convention. These include real-time support for DV50, Apple LiveType titling, the high-quality animation codec, video out with Apple Soundtrack, and support for upto five uncompressed real-time tracks (three video and two graphics with alpha channels).

Andrew Baum, senior product manager, Pinnacle, said: "CineWave 4 leverages the advanced design of Final Cut Pro 4 to unleash more power and dozens of new features from the TARGA Cine Engine. Having five real-time tracks is just the beginning. CinéWave 4 users can capture into DV50 and apply real-time effects to DV50 alone or in any combination with PhotoJPEG, DV25, 8, 10 and 16-bit uncompressed sources, Apple Live Type, animation and RGBA sources - all real-time in the same timeline."
