Conform.Tools today announces the release of its groundbreaking post-production platform designed to help colorists, conform artists, and editors reduce errors, eliminate manual processes, and keep projects on track when it matters most.
Developed by post-production veterans, Conform.Tools comprises a focused set of utilities that simplify timeline translation, automate repetitive checks, and improve visibility during the final stages of post-production. It promotes workflow efficiency by systematizing the most common, time-consuming and error-prone tasks performed by colorists, assistant editors, editors, conform artists and post producers.
Post-production teams have long relied on a patchwork of processes to move projects between systems, validate timelines, and prepare deliverables. These challenges tend to surface late in the schedule, turning delivery week into a high-pressure scramble where even small issues can cause significant delays.
“We built Conform.Tools to take the stress out of the final stretch,” said Brandon Thomas, Founder of Conform.Tools and Senior Colorist at TBD Post. “Delivery shouldn’t be where things fall apart. If we can remove the friction there, we give teams the time and clarity they need to focus on the creative work that matters.”
Comform.Tools offers three powerful utilities:
Timeline Exchange translates timelines across NLEs – Premiere to Resolve, Avid to Resolve, Resolve to Flame, and more – preserving bezier PTZR keyframes and speed ramps while correcting most issues conform editors would otherwise fix by hand, all processed securely and with minimal compute overhead. “These tools were built out of necessity,” said Founder and Post Supervisor Ted Griffis. “Conform editors, colorists and finishing artists should be spending their time enhancing the creative edit, not rebuilding it.”
i2o, a timeline-aware file transfer system, takes a faster and smarter approach to receiving trimmed media. “Every colorist has been burned by a bad media handoff,” said Founder and Finishing Artist Stefan Allen. “i2o was built so you never have to wrangle terabytes of media for a 30-second commercial again.”
Conform Connect provides a suite of workflow tools to increase operator speed – from automating tedious conform tasks to automatically aligning clips to the offline reference – helping teams drive their timelines more efficiently.
Early adopters across film and television are already using Conform.Tools to reduce turnaround time and minimize errors during handoff and delivery. By closing the gaps between editorial and finishing, Conform.Tools is emerging as a practical solution for teams navigating complex workflows – in an industry where deadlines are tightening and post schedules continue to shrink.
Conform.Tools is available via yearly, monthly, studio and pay-as-you-go subscriptions tailored to production environments of varying size and application.
Conform.Tools, based in Austin, TX, builds the tools post professionals wish existed. Convert timelines between any NLE, ship only the frames your edit touches, and wire workflow shortcuts directly into your editor. For more information, contact info@conform.tools.
