Video watermarking for editing and collaboration workflows
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.
Video & audio watermarking for post-production and distribution workflows
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).
Standalone solution for watermarking video files in post-production
The NexGuard File Embedder inserts forensic watermarks into video at any point in a post-production workflow. Speed optimized for key mezzanine file formats (like ProRes and XDCAM) and interfaced easily with third-party workflow management or media asset management applications.
