"We designed every clip to be easily keyed, tiled and colorized painlessly, we've also rendered many of these clips to play at a slower speed, as most media servers do a better job speeding clips up," says Michael Zinman.
"Everything about In Your back Pocket will make sense to programmers. To our knowledge, this is the only collection of royalty-free loops that have been designed specifically for media servers, and the programmers who operate them."
All loops are categorized into 14 file folders, sorted by colour; making it efficient to scroll through content by following along with the lighting designers colour schemes.
In Your Back Pocket has pre-rendered the clips in either MAC or PC format so they just have to be ingested into a media server, saving hours of work, says the company.
The original source files created in Adobe AfterEffects are provided for users that want to customize their loops, easily adding their own design styles. Users can modify or re-render any of these projects.
A companion iPhone/iPod touch viewer application is available free on the iTunes App Store. "As a designer in the truck or a programmer looking for a great clip, In Your Back Pocket Viewer is a very efficient way to browse this library, or collaborate with the rest of the design team." says Michael Zinman.
Media programmers and vendors interested in In Your Back Pocket can download fully rendered sample files from www.loopsformediaservers.com to test with their systems before ordering.
