Titles
The latest FORscene upgrade supports graphics overlays
for use with logos and titles. Images generated on third
party applications are treated as foreground, translucent
and transparent colours. The transparency
level can be faded in and out using the same simple
interface as the video and audio fades. The system gives
full broadcast quality anti-aliasing.

Stereo audio
FORscene and Clesh have long been able to edit up to four audio tracks.
Where a source has multiple synchronised audio tracks (such as stereo on DV),
the default behaviour is now to trim these tracks together, simplifying editing.

Clesh upgrade
Clesh
has been upgraded to use the latest Blackbird 5 video compression.
Web uploaded videos and images are now clearer with better texture,
and the most active videos take less data when published using Clesh's
integrated web publishing.

Blackbird codec
Forbidden Technologies uses its own Java codecs to meet the
specific demands of web based video post-production. The latest
codec, Blackbird 5, offers significant improvements
in video quality whilst cutting the data rate the most complex
videos by up to 15%. Blackbird 5 goes into test today.

FORscene DV upgrade
FORscene DV enables editing of browse quality video from a central location
and then uploads and conforms only the DV frames which are used in the
final edit, making FORscene DV the most efficient way to make broadcast
quality videos from material shot in the field. News journalists now have a
choice
of uploading their source video from either Windows PCs or Macs.

Account management
The biggest broadcasters using FORscene use it for multiple programmes at the same time - and these can be in different departments.
The latest upgrade to the account management allows the highest level people access to all programmes, whilst still giving different
departments simple access to their own programmes.
