San Francisco, CA, USA (July 28, 2005) -- When is getting your video done quickly as important as getting your video done at all? When you only have 10 hours to write, film, edit and print your video so it can be screened in the 11th hour; in other words, you’ve just signed up for a Cinemasports event. Earlier this month, in San Francisco, nNovia’s QuickCapture (TM) came to the rescue for many Cinemasports participants. In its first local, grassroots sponsorship program nNovia found Cinemasports to be a great way to show the video community how easy it is to use the Quick Capture to streamline your workflow by eliminating the entire log and capture process from the editing workflow. nNovia’s QuickCapture (TM) was created with just these types of time restrictions in mind because most professional videographers are all too familiar with the pressure to deliver projects yesterday. Cinemasports participants received loaner Quick Captures for the day, learned to use them in a matter of minutes, and saved themselves hours.

Simultaneously spread across the city, Cinemasports videographers strapped on their Quick Captures, attached to their cameras and started shooting. By functioning as a portable deck, media converter, and hard drive all at once, nNovia’s Quick Capture and Quick Capture A2Ds record the video stream straight from a camera’s digital or analog outputs onto its internal hard drive. Once their shoots were over, a simple drag-and-drop downloaded the edit-ready files to a computer’s local hard drive. So while the rest of the competition was still logging and setting in and out points, Quick Capture users were already in their timelines, slicing and dicing. By facilitating a capture-free editing workflow, the QuickCapture and the QuickCapture A2D helped several Cinemasports participants disregard their tapes and skip ahead to complete their projects on time. In the end, it was a Quick Capture user who won the grand prize – a free 40gig Quick Capture. In a world where time is money, nNovia’s QuickCapture and QuickCapture A2D are designed to make any videographer’s life easier. Luckily for the Cinemasports participants, money was not on the line. But it seems blood, sweat, tears, and pride is on the line every time. And nNovia’s Quick Captures proved that getting it done quickly is always better then just getting it done.
