Posted by: amigo

 Date: Tue Sep 24 2002
Now this is good, another application available for Linux, coming from RealViz and Interactive Effects, who have announced Piranha ReTimer Technology availablility for both Linux and SGI (IRIX) today. Perhaps someday I'll be able to fully move away from that M$ virus on my computer. HEY ADOBE, WAKE UP !

San Francisco � September 24, 2002 � REALVIZ, a leading developer of image processing software solutions, and Interactive Effects, developer of high-end software for film and video, today announced the availability of REALVIZ� ReTimer� for Piranha. Piranha, available for both SGI and Linux operating systems, is a high-speed, resolution-independent, compositing, paint, editing and effects system. ReTimer enables users to smoothly speed up or slow down any video, film, or image sequence, with the flexibility to manually or automatically carry out individual pixel tracking correction. This technology will be available beginning in September, 2002.

The specialized technology, which was developed based on REALVIZ ReTimer 2.5, allows Piranha users to adjust the frame rate of imported film and video footage without the need to export image files into a separate program. ReTimer can change the pacing of any sequence by up to 1000%. The application can speed up, slow down or create variable speed clips from standard speed filmed sequences by automatically generating highly accurate in-between frames, all without the need for expensive slow motion cameras.

�In the field of video and film composting and editing, the ability to slow down clips is essential. ReTimer for Piranha gives our users the ability to get the cleanest results with the unparalleled image quality that their projects demand,� commented Tom Benoist, president of Interactive Effects.

�Interactive Effects develops very powerful high-end compositing solutions, and we are very excited to bring ReTimer to their broad user base,� said Emmanuel Javal, president of REALVIZ Corp. and co-founder of REALVIZ. �We�ve recently optimized ReTimer with faster rendering, powerful memory management and overall improved performance and are very pleased to bring these two best-of-breed applications together.�

Availability
The REALVIZ ReTimer technology for Piranha will be available beginning in September, 2002 for Linux and SGI. The product can be purchased through the Interactive Effects authorized reseller channel worldwide.
