The company - home to more than 100 Avid systems - has purchased numerous Final Cut Pro systems for its rental inventory, all of which are currently in-use. PostWorks has also integrated several more Final Cut Pro workstations into its own workflow. Each system is equipped with an AJA Kona 3 HD/SD video capture card.

"These new Final Cut systems have quickly grown to become indispensable additions to our facility, and are not only used in-house for format conversion and mastering, but also for complete offline system rentals for our clients' long-term editorial needs," says Rob DeMartin, COO/co-owner of PostWorks, New York. 

According to DeMartin, file I/O is a major service that PostWorks provides, in areas ranging from direct-to-disk telecine, film scanning and element preparation for optical and animation houses. 

"The integration of the Kona 3 cards in these systems makes it easier for our clients to maximize the benefits of working in HD without getting too caught up in the seemingly endless list of HD formats," he notes.

PostWorks is currently supporting editors on three independent features. The Pleasure of Your Company, Trainwreck: My Life as an Idiot and Slippery Slope are all being edited using Final Cut Pro.
