Digital Anarchy Updates ReSizer 2.1 to Work Natively in Apple's Final Cut Pro and MotionUpscaling Tool Expands its Ability to Provide High-Quality Scaling and SD to HD Up-Conversion for Broadcast Television Industry
San Francisco — October 24, 2006 — Digital Anarchy, a leading provider of cost-effective special effects software for Adobe® and Apple® products, today announced the immediate availability of the ReSizer 2.1 update. ReSizer is a plug-in for high quality scaling of footage or up-converting Standard Definition (SD) to High Definition (HD). This gives designers and filmmakers the power to produce high quality SD to HD up-conversions while staying on time and within budget. The plugin works in Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, and now natively in Apple’s Final Cut Pro and Motion using Apple’s FxPlug plugin architecture. ReSizer 2.1 has three scaling algorithms which give users flexibility in finding the right method for specific footage. Users also have control over how much these algorithms sharpen or smooth the footage, allowing them to further tailor the options. ReSizer produces extraordinary results whether footage is being up-converted from SD to HD or zoomed in 800%, because of multiple methods available to accurately increase the resolution of the original image. This difference is particularly noticeable in ReSizer's ability to keep edges sharp and defined, with minimal aliasing (or 'stair-stepping') that is usually found in up-converted footage. For working with SD interlaced footage, ReSizer 2.1 has a Deinterlacer that makes use of motion compensation. Multiple frames of interlaced footage are analyzed and the missing scan lines are intelligently reconstructed. This process produces greater fidelity to the original image. The combination of ReSizer 2.1’s smart algorithms and de-interlacing technology makes for unsurpassed quality when increasing the resolution of video, film, or even web podcasts.
