Tapping the cost efficiencies of SKYPE, which allows users to make free calls over the Internet, SyncVue combines a frame accurate media player with realtime collaboration capabilities to create a seamless workflow environment for editors, animators, directors, producers and advertising agencies. The application delivers a synchronized, shared media viewing experience, with no geographical limitations, to any desktop – Mac OSX or Windows XP – with an Internet connection.
SyncVue allows users to play any media file supported by QuickTime, as well as Windows Media and MXF files (via a plug-in from Telestream). Audio and video chat is also possible.
A virtual laser pointer allows session participants to point to any visual element of the movie in realtime during playback. Timecode-based text annotations can also be added during a session or offline.
Upon completion, markers can be exported to Final Cut Pro.
SyncVue for Macintosh and Windows is available immediately and is priced at $189 per license, with volume discounts available.
