What People Are Saying About Echo Fire

More Than Just Previews
|
If you're working with 16:9 anamorphic footage, you're probably tired of looking at the "squished" images on your computer monitor. Echo Fire can not only display your work on your video monitor, but it can also adjust the aspect ratio for proper display of 16:9 images, both cropped and letterboxed. It also supports the 14:9 format favored by many producers.
Echo Fire does more than just preview your projects on a video monitor. It can also overlay test and diagnostic information on your preview, including a waveform monitor, vectorscope, safe action and title areas, and a variety of color bar test patterns. Evaluate your video signal, verify title placement, and calibrate your monitor, all with Echo Fire.

Video Color Picker for Photoshop
 |
Echo Fire provides a special Video Color Picker for use in Photoshop. The Video Color Picker previews your color choice on your video monitor, showing you exactly what the color will look like. It also displays waveform and vectorscope displays to let you see just what color you're specifying. And the Color Picker lets you know if you've chosen an "illegal" color and will "legalize" it at the touch of a button.

ScreenWriter Outputs Computer Desktop to Video
Using Echo Fire's ScreenWriter utility, output a copy of your computer desktop to your video monitor. This provides a video preview capability for all your design applications, even if they don't support video previews themselves.
