Marquis Broadcast, specialist in content workflows and media integration software, has launched X2Pro LE and X2Pro Professional, its conversion application for delivering Final Cut Pro X projects to Avid Pro Tools for audio finishing. “X2Pro uses Marquis’ Media Highway, the core technology employed by Marquis’ media integration products to integrate Final Cut Pro X into professional audio workflows, delivering seamless integration between the two applications,” said Chris Steele, product manager, Marquis Broadcast. “The new version of X2Pro Professional includes a number of enhancements designed to improve functionality and increase ease of use. We also introduced a lightweight version, X2Pro LE, that makes powerful audio conversion even more affordable.” “When Electric Entertainment transitioned to Final Cut Pro X, we re-engineered our workflow,” said Brian Gonosey, editor on Electric Entertainment’s one-hour drama, LEVERAGE. “X2Pro became the missing piece that allowed us to work with Final Cut Pro X and maintain the highest quality production standard. With Version 2’s ability to work with referenced media, X2Pro will greatly increase our efficiency in moving from Final Cut Pro X to Pro Tools.” X2Pro LE is the new option for those who do not need the professional features of media referencing, trimming or detailed control over the conversion of Final Cut Pro X roles. It has the same feature set as X2Pro v1. X2Pro LE and can be upgraded to the Professional edition through In-App Purchase. “At Marquis our mission is to help customers achieve maximum efficiencies from their digital processes,” confirms Steele. “X2Pro Professional now provides a smooth workflow between Final Cut Pro X and Avid Pro Tools. And now with the additional tools and enhanced ease-of-use, users can take full advantage of the functionality of these two world-class products.”www.marquisbroadcast.com
