"For us, this is the perfect partnership in our bid to market our ReTimer SD/HD plugin for After Effects." said Emmanuel Javal, Executive VP Business Development, REALVIZ Corp. "Digital Anarchy has a long and solid track record, as well as an extensive knowledge and understanding of the After Effects market."

About REALVIZ ReTimer SD/HD.

With an innovative technology that enables the calculation of each pixel move, ReTimer SD/HD automatically generates new frames in between existing frames, enabling high quality slow downs or speed-ups, and all without the need for expensive slow motion cameras.

Some of the features that ReTimer SD/HD include are:

• ReTimer is able to analyze original images and create completely
  new frames based on them. Resulting in smooth slow motion.

• Work with progressive or interlaced video footage without having to interpolate your frames. ReTimer will automatically deal with fields and 3:2 pulldown.

• A high quality Motion Blur adds realism to fast moving sequences,
  delivering realistic results. ReTimer takes into account each pixel and applies blur accordingly.

• Use bezier masks to let ReTimer distinguish foreground objects from the background. This is essential to ReTiming footage. It gives you the control you need to make adjustments if things don't come out perfectly.

• The RTMotion plugin which comes with ReTimer allows you to view the actual displacement map ReTimer is using. This provides another powerful tool for making adjustments. Specifically targeted at artists working with Standard Definition resolution, ReTimer SD, enables users to process images, which are in Standard Definition Pal, or NTSC format, whereas ReTimer HD is not limited to any resolution or format (PAL/NTSC, Film and 2K images supported.)

REALVIZ ReTimer SD/HD are ideally suited to complement compositing packages, and are plugins for Adobe After Effects 5.5, or compatible products, such as Discreet's Combustion and Apple Final Cut Pro. ReTimer SD & HD are now available for purchase. For further details on both products, please go to:
