VIRTUAL KATY VK PREMIUM: Virtual Katy gives Pro Tools users massive workflow gains. Spend 80 percent less time synching picture edit changes. Automate painful, time-consuming update and conform sessions. New to the market, Virtual Katy is already the “go-to” technology for sound editors such as Mike Hopkins of The Lord of the Rings and Lee Herrick of Bridget Jones’ Diary. The Virtual Katy software compares the differences between two or more versions of a picture edit and creates a ChangeList EDL to represent the changes between these versions. Using the VK AutoConformer, Virtual Katy then re-confroms your Pro Tools session and updates your data from the ChangeList EDL in a fraction of the time it would take to do a manual conform.
