The Graphics Plugin integrates Vizrt’s graphics workflow into the Non-Linear Editing (NLE) workflow.

Using the Graphics Plugin, NLE system users can continue to follow their normal workflow by accessing Vizrt’s control applications within the preferred NLE system, and easily add real-time rendered Vizrt graphics while editing video clips.

The Graphics Plugin integrates with a variety of Supported NLE Systems; Adobe’s Premiere, Apple’s Final Cut Pro, Avid’s Media Composer and NewsCutter, and Quantel’s QEffects. Though the Graphics Plugin versions are tailored to the specific platforms, the overall setup and user interface is the same.

Viz Trio, Viz Pilot, and the Graphics Plugin Editor are all graphical user interfaces that allow the NLE user to interact with the Vizrt graphics workflow and edit graphics elements. The Graphics Plugin supports NLE systems on both Windows and Apple platforms. Viz Trio and Viz Pilot are both available for Windows-based NLE Systems, whereas the Graphics Plugin Editor is also available for the Mac-based NLE Systems.
