ViewScreen Studio and Scout: A Closer Look
ViewScreen Studio
Comprehensive Asset Access: Provides filmmakers with a repository of assets, characters, and virtual environments accessible anywhere, enabling real-time viewing and positioning across various filming setups.
Enhanced Real-time Tracking: Allows camera crews to track and position shots in sync across multiple setups, optimizing the integration of digital elements into physical environments.
Device Compatibility: Functions seamlessly on Apple iOS Sonoma, macOS, and Windows 11 or higher devices, ensuring widespread compatibility and flexibility.

Now, you can see VFX elements, in real time, as you’re shooting. It’s a true advantage for every facet of filmmaking because it accelerates everything we do. It allows for faster decision-making, quicker visualizations, and provides a clear framework for post-production to ensure the director’s vision is accurately achieved.
ViewScreen Scout
Scene Pre-visualization: Offers a detailed preview of filming scenes, encompassing set walkthroughs, lighting variations, and other crucial filming assets for meticulous planning.
