The award-winning NexGuard plugin enables content owners and post-production houses to seamlessly apply forensic watermarks directly from their non-linear editing software, allowing the secure exchange of pre-release assets with creative agencies or editing departments. Integrated with  Avid Media Composer,  DaVinci Resolve and soon Adobe Premiere.

The NexGuard plugin embeds forensic audio and/or video watermarks to a wide range of transcoders used within post-production and distribution workflows. It supports any input/output format as well as multi-layer watermarking. This solution, running on-prem or in the cloud, is used to seamlessly watermark short form content (like dailies, trailers, clips) as well as long form content (like full features and TV series).
