Discreet Video Editing Software & Systems

Discreet, a division of Autodesk, was established in 1999 after Autodesk acquired Discreet Logic Inc. and merged its operations with Kinetix®. Discreet develops systems & software for visual effects, 3D animation, editing and production - crucial to the creation of digital moving pictures in feature films, video, HDTV, broadcast graphics, interactive games and the web.

Discreet products are used extensively in film and video post-production, games, animation and multimedia, television programming, and news & event coverage.

Discreet Fire, a Unix-based nonlinear editing, conforming and finishing system for digital cinema and HD production.

Discreet Inferno, most commonly used for high resolution commercials and sophisticated film compositing, this Unix-based software runs on SGI's Onyx 3000.

Discreet Flame, positioned as a compositor for smaller boutiques, independent post houses and network/cable broadcasters creating effects for commercials, music videos and promos, offers a slightly reduced feature set compared with Inferno.

Discreet Smoke, Fire's little brother, runs on the SGI Octane2 platform, and works in 2K, HD or traditional standard definition formats on a single unified system. Smoke offers 24p 2K playback and an expanded 3D DVE module with real time interactivity at full RGB 4:4:4 resolution.
