DIGITAL INTERMEDIATE (DI) PROCESSING AND DISTRIBUTION WITH SCALABLE COMPRESSION IN THE POST-PRODUCTION OF MOTION PICTURES

摘要

Scalable image compression is exploited to facilitate the creative process in the post-production of motion pictures. Specifically, digital intermediate (DI) processing of motion pictures is enabled by dynamically rendering proxies in response to client requests. A DI application is designed to enhance the efficiency of post-processing and the quality of the work product of the editors, colorists and other creative people. The DI application also provides a method for efficiently formatting the product for film, digital cinema, DVD and other video applications.
