Interoperability with third-party systems supporting industry standard formats like Avid DNxHR, MXF and Apple ProRes - including metadata. Read and write Avid DNxHR, MXF and Apple Prores.
Layer based tools
Each Nucoda colour layer contains twelve tools to manipulate the colour of your image, these include tools that are designed manipulate in a very intuitive fashion Tools include Balance, Brighness Regions, RGB Curves Printer Lights, Hue Curves, Luma-Sat, Sat-Sat. Advanced layer routing functionality combined with isolation tools that can be matte based, user-defined shape based or undertaken via sophisticated keyer functionality.
Nucoda interface
Multiple monitor support
Save and recall effects using notes, from single effects to complicated multi-layered effects.
Nucoda Look
Create a library of notes and apply to any segment on any timeline in any project.
Nucoda Look is an entry level grading solution based on the industry leading Digital Vision image science technology and Nucoda colour tools. It is ideally suited for use as a pre-grade assist station, either in the facility or on-set. When used as a preparation station for the Nucoda, it can be used to ingest or conform video or film content directly onto the timeline ready for editing and pre-processing. It is also an excellent post grade deliverables system.
Access to plugin effect
Support for Digital Vision DVO Image enhancement tools and OFX support including Sapphire and Re:Vision effects.
Nucoda is the premium colour grading and finishing solution for feature films, commercials and broadcast applications. It combines a creative tool set, and a very tight integration with the Avid workflow including full support for Interplay.
Fully automated background caching
Unobtrusive background rendering ensures you always have the best results available without interruption. Any project can be rendered on any Nucoda platform.
GPU acceleration
A realtime Master layer accelerates rendering on Pan & Scan and Colour Correction work. Multiple formats can be used and delivered from the same timeline. Globally apply final crops or resizes.
Nucoda
Setting new standards in the highest quality, Nucoda supports ACES colour managed workflows, HDR and Dolby Vision. With an industry leading colour toolset, used by clients such as The Farm, Picture Shop and Pixar Animation Studios, Nucoda creates complex looks and visual styles for animation.

Nucoda- Project setup
Today’s post production environment has seen an explosion in the number of cameras, file formats and distribution channels required for many jobs. These new formats also need to coexist and stay compatible with older formats and assets, which can result in much greater project complexity and data management headaches for the production. ACES solves this problem by delivering a single post production workflow that keeps all production assets at their maximum possible quality and providing the full benefit of High Dynamic Range (HDR) production pipelines.
Precision Control Panel The Precision control surface includes three ergonomic and functional control panels that can be arranged to suit the needs of any colourist. Using a combination of traditional trackballs with rings and high-quality knobs and buttons, operators can move quickly to complete the work in the shortest time possible. Full Precision Brochure

ACES Output Transform Selection
Nucoda comes with ACES support and a full HDR grading capability, including a rich toolset for dealing with colour critical workflows such as HDR capture from ARRI and RED cameras.
Tangent Element Support Full mappable support for the Element Panel from Tangent.
Flexible Workflows; Easy Integration Nucoda offers the widest range of creative tools, built into the most flexible non nonlinear workflow for digital film or video post production. From ingest, editing, picture enhancement, colour correction, compositing and visual effects, to multi-delivery for any delivery format from HD to 3D. Ingest using an EDL, AAF, XML or Cut list, then conform data directly from a SAN, or capture from tape. Support for a wide range of file formats such as EXR, DPX, R3D, ARRI RAW, Sony RAW, ProRes and MXF means you can bypass copying and transcoding completely. Comprehensive conforming tools prepare your timeline with cuts, transitions and varispeed commands. Or use the powerful automated scene detector to quickly analyse your reels in the background. Full support for the new ACES colour space which includes support and real time playback of the new SMPTE ACES EXR file format.
Timeline overview
Expansive, High-end Colour Tools Lionel Kopp, Senior Colourist at Film Factory “It was all about the color palette and choosing visuals that we wanted in the story. If you have to worry about how the pipeline is going to work, that takes time away from what is important. Nucoda has freed us from those concerns. That is why we started with one, and now have three.”
Nucoda creative and corrective colour tools combine a traditional approach to grading with the power and flexibility of digital technology. Select the colour tool that suits the task best; from Printer Lights through Colour Curves to Brightness Regions. With the unlimited multi-layer timeline you can combine capabilities, using different isolation layer tools including the new ‘I-Keyer’ to produce complex looks quickly. Achieve dynamic grades and Keyer animation of effects parameters, and manipulate and track individual shapes on a individual transform or per-point basis, to refine that look over the whole shot.
List Management With Nucoda you can view all the events in a composition as thumbnails, as a contact sheet list view in either source or record order, giving direct access to any track, playhead, or event. From here any part of a grade or its dynamics can be copied to the current shot. Easily-accessible Memories speed the workflow, offering different ways to store and recall, all or part of your grades and dynamics from shot to shot. Notes enable you to save unlimited numbers of these snapshots in folders so that you can assemble libraries of looks and access them in any project. A QuickNotes feature give you direct access for up to eight Notes from the control panel with a single key press.
The DI Suite
Known for presenting the best image manipulation tools for restoration, enhancement and format conversion, they are only available on the Nucoda and Phoenix platforms. DVO Classic is included as standard with Nucoda. DVO Tools
You can view, render and exchange Nucoda projects in all Digital Vision software applications, releasing the system for further client work. Add a Nucoda Look preparation workstation, sharing the same SAN, and you have a truly collaborative suite. Add our unique Digital Vision Optics (DVO) tools to the assist stations to off-load preparation tasks such as grain management or dust busting.

S3D Colour & Align Tool
Jet Omeshebi, Colourist at Encore London “The way that the colourist works is changing with the advanced technology that grading systems provides. Using the Nucoda we’re increasingly adding vfx such as lens flares and sky replacements as part of the grading process where previously these would have been completed in the online/fx suites. Integrating these tools as part of the grade enables us to seamlessly blend these elements into the rest of the programme.”
