If you’re using Steinberg’s Nuendo Media Production System, you’ll be happy to hear that the company has announced the availability of a free update to registered users. Version 3.1, available for both Mac and PC platforms, includes several advanced features that are specifically targeted for post production in film and television.
Among the important new features is Audio Pull Up/Down, making Nuendo 3.1 an irreplaceable tool for audio whenever a telecine process or transfer from NTSC to PAL has been involved during production, which can cause audio to go out-of-sync with on-screen images. Frame rate support has been extended to include those required by the new HDTV standard.
The unique Network Collaboration features in Nuendo may well be the most advanced of any audio production application available today and includes support for Marker Tracks, as well as a new Transfer Status window, which is crucial for accurate monitoring of data transfer around the network. If you need to quickly merge selected tracks between local projects and available network projects without having to fully join a network session, there’s a new Online-Merge function.
