MetaCreator was and still is THE tool for reality-show to do this. 

As FilmPartners we have now our offering with the 4th generation of MetaCreator enriched with Metamarker. The growing need to produce also items for social, ondemand or other platforms in no-time while it happens made us develop MetaMarker. First used in BigBrother in NL and within the year also for many other shows and formats of several major production companies. 

This week we can announce that the FilmPartners development team made MetaMarker also work with Blackmagic Resolve and Grass Valley Edius.  Learn more on what it can bring you and contact the FilmPartners team
