Before and after shots from "The Passing" with color FX from Magic Bullet Editors V2.0 applied.

Lance Bachelder, Freelance Editor/ Colorist selected the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 by PNY Technologies to speed up post production and save money on his latest indie project "The Passing". Tests conducted by Lance, using the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 graphic board produced exciting results: Rendering was up to 30 times faster!

Speeds up production - no longer waiting for renders
Lance tested the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 with Magic Bullet Editors V2.0 from Red Giant Software and the results were astounding. "On a 30 second NTSC clip, with color effects and grading applied, the render time without the new GPU utilization was 32 minutes and 2 seconds. The same clip using the GPU power of the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 by PNY rendered in just 1 minute and 8 seconds! Almost 30 times faster! " said Lance.

"The biggest benefit of the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 by PNY Technologies is time saved - massive time. Meaning we get more done during the workday and are not staying late waiting for renders like we had to in the past," enthused Lance Bachelder.

Film's signature look created in house
Lance used the power of the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 by PNY Technologies and Magic Bullet Editors V2.0 to produce all the color timing in 24p HD using Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 in " The Passing" ( www.thepassingmovie.com).

"We used the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 by PNY to power Red Giant's Magic Bullet for Editors ver.2.0 for near realtime performance in creating a signature look for "The Passing". We could not have achieved the quality look we wanted in house without this latest graphics board in our suite, " concluded Bachelder.
