We understand that our customers need more than just leading toolsets to create sophisticated look enhancements, but more importantly our solutions need to work with multiple camera and file formats, allow collaborative workflows, and deliver finished content for different viewing platforms including stereoscopic 3D.

Tim Kelly, Senior VP at Keep Me Posted - Fotokem

“Our customers aren’t interested in how we do what we do behind the scenes. What they’re really interested in are great images, flexible schedules, affordability and the latest technologies that actually deliver what’s promised – quickly and efficiently.

The Nucoda has delivered on all of those points. When I speak with our customers about their projects and experiences here, they are very impressed with the colourists and colour grading experiences, and we owe a big piece of that success to the Nucoda technology.”

Full 64 bit native applications Make use of all available system memory and cope with the biggest images, including 4K.

Multi-layer timeline Lay out and process your material in a natural and flexible way, with multiple video and audio tracks. Timeline and shot bookmarks allow for better organisation and retrieval of information. Easily add different versions of shots to the same timeline.

Import and Conform Support for a massive number of image sequences as well as standard list formats like EDL and CUT Lists. Automatically extract metadata and conform sequences.

Library A powerful library for managing all imported and referenced material with sorting, searching and sophisticated metadata handling. Automatic library folder creation and item naming options on file import based on user configurable metadata extraction.

Interoperability World class interoperability with third-party systems supporting industry standard formats like Avid DNxHD, AAF, MXF and Apple ProRes. Read and write Avid DNxHD formats, MXF and Quicktime formats.

Layer based tools Every tool can have extremely powerful isolation and routing functionality. Isolation can be matte based, user-defined shape based or undertaken via sophisticated

keyer functionality. Layers can be selectively cached to streamline operations and greatly enhance user interactivity.

Effect save and recall Save and recall effects using notes, from single effects to complicated multi-layered effects. Create a library of notes and apply to any segment on any timeline in any project.

I2 Rendering Engine Unobtrusive background rendering ensures you always have the best results available without interruption. Any project can be rendered on any Nucoda platform.

GPU acceleration A realtime Master layer accelerates rendering on Pan & Scan and Colour Correction work. Multiple formats can be used and delivered from the same timeline. Globally apply final crops or resizes.

Core Features Overview

Nucoda Look is an entry level grading solution based on the industry leading Digital Vision image science technology and Nucoda colour tools. It is ideally suited for use as a pre-grade assist station, either in the facility or on-set. When used as a preparation station for the Nucoda Film Master, it can be used to ingest or conform video or film content directly onto the timeline ready for editing and pre-processing. It is also an excellent post grade deliverables system.

Nucoda Fuse is a low cost grading and finishing solution. It provides facilities a comprehensive toolset ideally suited to fast turn around & less complex, TV episodic type work.

Nucoda Film Master is the premium colour grading and finishing solution for feature films, commercials and broadcast applications.

It combines a creative tool set, and a very tight integration with the Avid workflow including full support for Interplay.

Setting new standards in the highest quality, Nucoda Film Master is now a fully featured ACES grading system, featuring HDR grading and and real time EXR file support. With an industry leading colour toolset used by clients such as Walden Media and Pixar Animation Studios, Nucoda Film Master creates complex looks and visual styles for animation, 2k/4k and S3D stereoscopic.

With over 20 years of image science culminating in the Digital Vision Optics (DVO) suite of enhancement tools, Nucoda ensures the highest quality imagery available.

These new formats also need to coexist and stay compatible with older formats and assets, which can result in much greater project complexity and data management headaches for the production. ACES solves this problem by delivering a single post production workflow that keeps all production assets at their maximum possible quality and providing the full benefit of High Dynamic Range (HDR) production pipelines.

Nucoda Film Master comes with ACES support and a full HDR grading capability, including a rich toolset for dealing with colour critical workflows such as HDR capture from ARRI and RED cameras.

Flexible Workflows; Easy Integration

Nucoda offers the widest range of creative tools, built into the most flexible non nonlinear workflow for digital film or video post production. From ingest, editing, picture enhancement, colour correction, compositing and visual effects, to multi-delivery for any delivery format from HD to 3D.

Ingest using an EDL, AAF or cut list, then conform data directly from a SAN, or capture from tape. Support for a wide range of file formats such as EXR, DPX, R3D, Arri, Sony F65, Quicktime and MXF means you can bypass copying and transcoding completely. Comprehensive conforming tools prepare your timeline with cuts, transitions and varispeed commands. Or use the powerful automated scene detector to quickly analyse your reels in the background.

Full support for the new ACES colour space which includes support and real time playback of the new SMPTE ACES EXR file format.

Today’s post production environment has seen an explosion in the number of cameras, file formats and distribution channels required for many jobs.

Precision Control Panel

The Precision control surface includes three ergonomic and functional control panels that can be arranged to suit the needs of any colourist. Using a combination of traditional trackballs with rings and high-quality knobs and buttons, operators can move quickly to complete the work in the shortest time possible. Full Precision Brochure

List Management

With Nucoda you can view all the events in a composition as thumbnails, as a contact sheet list view in either source or record order, giving direct access to any track, playhead, or event. From here any part of a grade or its dynamics can be copied to the current shot.

Easily-accessible Memories speed the workflow, offering different ways to store and recall, all or part of your grades and dynamics from shot to shot. Notes enable you to save unlimited numbers of these snapshots in folders so that you can assemble libraries of looks and access them in any project. A QuickNotes feature give you direct access for up to eight Notes from the control panel with a single key press.

The DI Suite

You can view, render and exchange Nucoda projects in all Digital Vision software applications, releasing the system for further client work. Add a Nucoda Look preparation workstation, sharing the same SAN, and you have a truly collaborative suite.

Add our unique Digital Vision Optics (DVO) tools to the assist stations to off-load preparation tasks such as grain management or dust busting.

Lionel Kopp, Senior Colourist at Film Factory

“It was all about the color palette and choosing visuals that we wanted in the story. If you have to worry about how the pipeline is going to work, that takes time away from what is important. Nucoda has freed us from those concerns.

That is why we started with one, and now have three.”

Expansive, High-end Colour Tools

Nucoda creative and corrective colour tools combine a traditional approach to grading with the power and flexibility of digital technology. Select the colour tool that suits the task best; from Printer Lights through Colour Curves to Brightness Regions.

With the unlimited multi-layer timeline you can combine capabilities, using different isolation layer tools including the new ‘I-Keyer’ to produce complex looks quickly. Achieve dynamic grades and Keyer animation of effects parameters, and manipulate and track individual shapes on a individual transform or per-point basis, to refine that look over the whole shot.

Jet Omeshebi, Colourist at Deluxe142

“The way that the colourist works is changing with the advanced technology that grading systems provides. Using the Nucoda Film Master we’re increasingly adding vfx such as lens flares and sky replacements as part of the grading process where previously these would have been completed in the online/fx suites. Integrating these tools as part of the grade enables us to seamlessly blend these elements into the rest of the programme.”
