A STORM is coming. Are you ready?

The STORM open beta is now live. FREE to use until the 1st March 2011. Download your copy now!

WHAT IS STORM?

If you work on or near set with RED footage you should take a closer look at STORM.

STORM assists RED Digital Camera workflows. It's quick and easy to navigate allowing producers, directors and editors to view takes in high resolution without interruption or delay.

Anyone who has done basic colour correction and editing will feel comfortable sitting at STORM and cutting together a basic edit or exploring a look interactively with the cinematographer. STORM supports the digital technician, providing simple and intuitive metadata tagging and timeline re-conform speeding up exchange with editorial and post production.


GIVE IT A GO

Why not try it out for yourself by downloading our OPEN BETA which is FREE to use until the 1st March 2011? Just visit our STORM pages where you'll find lots more information about STORM and links to some introductory videos by Nick Shaw from Antler Post.


WHY HAVE AN OPEN BETA?

We really wanted to make our beta publically available to get feedback from as wide an audience as possible. We want to know how STORM fares in different production environments, and to hear your views. So, try it, break it, tell us what's missing and help us build a great product.

NB: This is a beta release and, therefore, not perfect. We urge all our users to be cautious and not to rely upon it during production.


QUESTIONS AND FEEDBACK

We want to hear from you and have a STORM forum on REDUSER.net for this very purpose. Our team will be monitoring and happy to help you out with questions or take your feedback and suggestions.


 

Ted Schilowitz, Leader of the Rebellion at RED, comments:
“Having seen STORM in detail, I’d describe it as REDCine-X on steroids. Well worth the time to investigate it's capabilities if you are involved in post production, working with RED footage. The Foundry have looked at RED workflow in great detail and taken logical integration with RED to a very evolved state. We’re very excited that those shooting and posting RED all over the world will soon have access to this software.”

Paul Clements, Digital Imaging Technician on 'Pulp', describes the first use of STORM on a feature length movie:
"The Foundry's STORM is bridging the digital divide and bringing camera and post production closer together. Like many others I have very high hopes for its future and genuinely believe it will become the go to application wherever digital footage is being captured." More...
