Mastering and Localization Workflow

Mastering Meets Speed, Savings, and Flawless Precision

Mastering and localization aren’t the end of production, it's the moment of truth, where artistry meets precision, and the creative vision is elevated into an experience that resonates across languages, and screens worldwide.

Rendering and packaging errors can inject costly artifacts, stemming from software, hardware or network limits. Proactive detection protects quality, safeguards compliance and prevents expensive network transport.

DeweyVision visually inspects every approved master against each target language and package options, ensuring flawless rendering. This comparison process takes a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods. DeweyVision saves time, eliminates costly errors and maintains the creative integrity across all releases.

DeweyVision acts as a companion to the operators, eliminating tedious manual checks and pinpointing issues instantly. Instead of searching for problems, the operator gets straight to fixing them, saving massive time and cost.

A reference master becomes the benchmark, instantly verifying derivatives, for exact matches and flagging any discrepancies, whether intentional or not.

DeweyVision streamlines mastering by ensuring two mixed-format media files (final master & final formats) are visually identical—matching editorial structure, timing and effects, preserving continuity.  A detailed report, paired with DeweyMatch’s visualization tool, guides operators directly to the problem areas. With configurable automation in the UI, the entire packaging process becomes faster, smarter and more reliable.

Even skilled operators face error risks, demanding multiple reviews to protect the integrity of premium content.

Annotations are inserted at exact time codes to highlight issues. These notes are exported as EDL smart-notes or Excel ready for editorial tools to review seamlessly and efficiently.

Remastering Workflow

From tedious manual media wrangling to precise, automated feature restoration

Challenges in Remastering

Remastering episodic TV shows, for example, from film to streaming platforms involves numerous complex workflow challenges:

  • Frame rate (fps) mismatches (23.98, 24, 29.97, drop-frame, non-drop-frame, 3:2 pull-down).
  • Lack of metadata making shot-matching of the source to reference footage extremely time consuming.
  • Unsorted, uncatalogued footage adding enormous manual work to locate and organize relevant content.
  • Missing footage (MIA shots) caught late in the process resulting in stalling workflows or compromising feature integrity.
  • Complex editorial effects such as speed ramps, optical effects (zoom, pan, tilt, flip, split, mirror), and multi-plate effects, complicating precise manual remastering and conforming.

The DeweyVision Solution

DeweyVision’s Unscripted Lineup automates, streamlines, and eliminates these pain points by:

  • Automated Reference Matching, for example utilizing 4k dailies scans (ProRes, DPX, etc.) against a low-res master reference.
  • Automatically and frame-accurately find reference shots among thousands of source shots, eliminating the need for manual matching and assembly.
  • Early automatic detection of missing (MIA) shots, significantly reducing time and stalls.
  • Generating standardized deliverables, enabling fast, simple, and automated conformation of each episode.
  • Minimal Manual Intervention – Reducing manual media assembly tasks to only the most complex corner-cases, significantly cutting specialist labor.

Annotations are inserted at exact time codes to highlight issues. These notes are exported as EDL smart-notes or Excel ready for editorial tools to review seamlessly and efficiently.
