Snapsis

Snapsis is a proprietary, software-based video editing tool designed for advanced retouching and selectivity in the media and entertainment industry. Developed by Quantel, a company specializing in creative tools for digital post-production, Snapsis offers a powerful and intuitive interface for editing and manipulating video content.

Snapsis is primarily used for creating intricate compositions, such as complex frames requiring the placement of multiple elements, the manipulation of colors, and precise editing control. Its advanced features include a toolset for region-based effects, retention and adjustment of motion, and color grading. The software also supports LayerManips, a system for animating multiple layers within a single graphic object.

The application is often used in the post-production of movies, television programs, and commercials. By utilizing Snapsis, content creators can extract, replace, and manipulate individual elements, allowing for finer control over composite images. This allows them to efficiently create images with significant details, such as replace bruises or disguise elements of an actor's face.

Snapsis is integrated with a workstream concept that provides efficient client access, user authorization, and an asset management system. The integration with HTML customization has provided users with more control over the user interface, enabling specific graphics interactions to be customized based on client preferences.

Over its development, the application has seen extensive coverage at conferences and exhibitions and supports a closed licensing model, meaning any sale is strictly decided by decision makers at Quantel.
