Draft Quality Vub
Draft Quality Vubs have the following characteristics:
- Up to 1920x1080 resolution
- 8-bit color depth
- Refine as much as you need
- Flawless watermark cannot be removed
- Cost $10
A Draft vub is used for creative decision-making and allows filmmakers to experiment with different storytelling options. They are designed to fit into the offline editing stage.
Draft vub outputs are watermarked proxy MP4 files, kept at the native frame rate, aspect ratio, and colour space of your source (within the limits of the MP4 container). Given that they are designed for the offline iterative stage in the edit, the focus is less on image quality and more on a faster turnaround, so you may encounter image artifacts around the teeth and tongue.
The question you should be asking at the draft phase is, has the vub worked? i.e. has it solved the problem or enhanced the narrative?
Once you're happy with the Draft vub, you can upgrade to Standard, Professional, or Theatrical quality.
Standard Quality Vub
Standard Quality vubs have the following characteristics:
- Up to 1920x1080 resolution
- 10-bit color depth
- Precision compositing
- Refine as much as you need
- Flawless watermark removable (rights holder consent required)
- Cost $200
A Standard Quality vub is still designed for the offline stage, but two key characteristics distinguish Standard from Draft:
1) The watermark can be removed once you get consent
2) The codec of the vub will match your offline codec (DNxHR SQ, for example)
As a result, even though you are still dealing with offline resolution media, the likelihood of encountering image artifacts is reduced.
Standard vubs are a great choice for use in screeners and internal viewings when you want to show that the vub is working and you want the director and producers to view it without the watermark.
Professional Quality Vub
Professional Quality vubs have the following characteristics:- Up to 4096x2304 resolution
- 10-bit color depth
- Precision compositing
- Refine as much as you need
- Flawless watermark removable (rights holder consent required)
- Cost $1,000
A Professional Quality vub is one of two tiers of online quality media DeepEditor can create. Professional vubs are suited for broadcast and commercial projects. Supported codecs include DNxHR (up to HQ 10-bit) and ProRes (up to 422 HQ 10-bit).
Theatrical Quality Vub
- Up to 8192x4608 resolution
- 16-bit color depth
- Precision compositing
- Refine as much as you need
- Support for ACES .exr
- Downloadable VFX turnover package
- Flawless watermark removable (rights holder consent required)
- Cost $3,000
A Theatrical vub is designed for theatrical films, streaming platforms, and premium TV.
If your raw camera media is 12-bit or 16-bit, you will be able to use ACES .exr image sequences as your Source and Training Data.
When working at Theatrical quality, DeepEditor is able to train and render at a 16-bit color depth, so your vub will maintain maximum image fidelity and detail.
