Yamdu – AI Script Breakdown and Management Add-On

Yamdu moves pre-production to the cloud. Yamdu fosters interoperability by offering an API supporting MovieLabs’ OMC. Narrative elements are distinguished from production elements. This enables Yamdu to process complex correlations using unique identifiers for all objects.

From script to scheduling, filmmakers collect data. For most departments (e.g. costume, props, …) this means manual script-tagging across many script versions. Which requires hours of reading, comparing, and tagging for dozens of crew members each time a new script is being published.

Yamdu has already proven in recent case studies, that it can reduce pre-production time by 30% and more due to intelligent automation (e.g. for ARD Germany). Now, this process gets enhanced by AI with the goal to cut prep time in half. Yamdu has integrated AI into key processes like automated script breakdown across all departments incl. customizable breakdown categories and prompts. Auto-generated script changes provide a scene-by-scene overview on all changes between two script versions. Plus, there is an auto-generate synopsis feature.

The real innovation is how Yamdu integrates AI into existing production workflows in a meaningful and respectful way: Creative departments, UPMs, LPs, 1st ADs, etc. stay in full control while AI is helping them to eliminate redundant reading time or manual script breakdowns. Yamdu offers an intuitive interface that clearly distinguishes between AI-based suggestions and human-based decisions.

Yamdu’s AI tools have been activated for paying Yamdu customers in summer 2025 and the feature is publicly available since fall. The feedback so far: Yamdu AI is a game-changer!

American Society of Cinematographers – Media Hash List

ASC Media Hash List (ASC MHL)

The ASC Media Hash List (ASC MHL) defines the industry’s first open, verifiable chain-of-custody for production media, ensuring every copy of every file is complete, correct, and accountable from camera through post to archive.

Built by the ASC Motion Imaging Technology Council (MITC), ASC MHL replaces ad-hoc checksum reports with a structured XML-based manifest and linked history that record each copy and verification event. This portable, append-only audit trail travels with the media, enabling any compliant tool to reproduce or extend another’s verification without ambiguity.

Already deployed on hundreds of productions, ASC MHL has dramatically reduced time lost to data-integrity investigations. Major studios such as Netflix and HBO have adopted it as their checksum manifest standard, while leading vendors—including RED, ARRI, Pomfort, YoYotta, OffShoot, and Imagine Products—have implemented native support.

Its open-source reference implementation guarantees consistent behavior across systems and provides an accessible foundation for continued innovation. ASC MHL supports multiple hash algorithms, scales from on-set to cloud to archive, and preserves end-to-end traceability—even across hybrid workflows.

The result is a transparent, interoperable framework that transforms checksum verification from fragmented “plumbing” into a trusted production-infrastructure layer. By uniting camera manufacturers, software developers, and studios around a common integrity model, ASC MHL establishes a new global standard for trustworthy media movement—one that replaces uncertainty with proof, manual re-verification with automation, and isolated reports with an enduring, auditable history of every file’s journey.

Méduse Inc. – Safe Guns Phase Synced Flash-Gun System

Safe Guns are specialized non-firing prop guns that mimic intense muzzle flashes with embedded precision timed LED strobes, triggered by the actors wielding them.

The flashes overcome “tearing/banding” artifacts of traditional flashes hitting rolling shutters. All the guns are wirelessly connected into a controlbox that alters the timings of the flashes in milliseconds to be phase adjusted into alignment with the rolling shutters of multiple cinema cameras, mimicking timecode synced genlock.

Additional features include support for 8 channels, haptic recoil action, rapid automatic fire, digital sound effects sent to the sound department, and slaved triggering to off-camera strobe lighting (also phase synced).

First used on the HBO series THE PENGUIN, they allowed us to shoot dozens of action scenes filled with simulated muzzle flashes with no tearing artifacts, even across multiple cameras. Directors were delighted by the realistic reactions of the actors flinching from the intense lighting. DOP’s loved the added visual cues, not having to imagine what the scene would look like after VFX. AD’s were able to instantly inspect the devices for safety. Props, being responsible for their handling and distribution, integrated them easily into their workflows.

In post, editors were enabled to creatively edit with visible flashes, and VFX teams were enthralled by the robust footage, now being able to comp-in muzzle flashes on plates already filled with rich interactive light, achieving high quality results with substantial reductions in cost and time.

The system is now currently being used in other productions such as Marvel’s DAREDEVIL.

Foundry – Nuke Stage

Nuke Stage redefines virtual production by unifying in-camera VFX with post-production compositing. It enables VFX artists to drive LED volumes and real-time environments using the same tools and color pipelines they rely on in post, eliminating translation errors and duplicated workflows across departments.

Unlike traditional virtual production systems adapted from gaming or broadcast, Nuke Stage was engineered specifically for filmmaking. It leverages established industry standards (OpenUSD, OpenEXR, and OpenColorIO) to maintain full data fidelity from pre-production through final pixel. Its node-based compositing environment provides granular control of 2.5D image-based environments, depth, and parallax in real time, allowing artists to light, composite, and adjust shots interactively on set.

The system records every frame of camera and scene metadata through the Metadata Vault, ensuring accurate reconstruction of shots downstream and seamless iteration between set and post. This eliminates one of the largest inefficiencies in virtual production: the disconnect between what is captured on stage and what is delivered in VFX.
By merging real-time and offline workflows into a single creative pipeline, Nuke Stage reduces setup complexity, increases predictability, and lowers cost barriers for production. It gives VFX teams direct creative control on set and enables filmmakers to visualize, capture, and deliver final-quality imagery within a unified, standards-based environment.

Adobe – Generative Extend in Adobe Premiere

Generative Extend in Adobe Premiere Pro is the first generative AI feature built directly into a non-linear editor (NLE), designed to solve one of editing’s most common pain points: needing just a few more frames or extra audio to make a cut feel natural. Powered by Adobe Firefly, Generative Extend lets editors seamlessly add new frames or ambient audio to the beginning or end of a clip without leaving the timeline. Instead of duplicating frames, freezing shots, or relying on awkward workarounds that take them out of their creative flow, editors can now simply drag a clip’s edge to generate realistic motion and sound that blend perfectly with the surrounding content. The generated portion is clearly labeled, supports up to two seconds of visual extension and ten seconds of audio. Generative Extend uses Firefly’s responsibly trained models with embedded Content Credentials to ensure transparency and authenticity. Because the generation happens in the background, editors can keep working without interruption. This innovation marks a breakthrough moment for professional video editing: bringing generative AI natively into the NLE for the first time and eliminating a long-standing creative friction point, so editors can stay focused on pacing, emotion, and storytelling instead of technical limitations.

Flawless – TrueSync

TrueSync is Flawless’ proprietary facial performance editing system that enables visual dubbing, the ability to translate on-screen dialogue into new languages while maintaining the actor’s original performance, emotion, and timing.
