An industry leader in closed captioning and video compression

 

There are quite a few choices in video compression captioning tools; so why chose solutions from PixelTools?  We have been working closely with post production clients for the past 20 years and have developed solutions in close partnerships with our clients that provide them the speed, quality, and reliability that they seek.  We also provide them timely and comprehensive technical support.  The solutions that we have come up to address video production issues for individual clients have been added to products and form a very comprehensive selection of off the shelf tools.

Many of our customers have had thousands of hours of content that they needed to be specially processed.  In most cases, the solutions that we provided proved high quality, were very reliable, and worked without human intervention.

Below is a short list of some of the solutions that we have assembled.  Let us know how we can help you optimize your workflow.  If we don’t have an off the shelf solution, we may be able to engineer a solution that will save you time and money.
