Assimilate SCRATCH is the flagship post-production suite from Assimilate, built for Mac and Windows workstations. It brings the whole finishing chain into one application: on-set and near-set dailies, playback and review, conform, colour grading, compositing, versioning and mastering. DITs, colourists and finishing artists use it on feature films, episodic television, commercials and music videos where footage arrives in many camera formats and needs to be turned around quickly.

  • End-to-end workflow covering dailies, conform, grading, compositing and finishing
  • Real-time playback and review of high-resolution camera originals in many formats
  • Advanced primary and secondary colour grading with versioning for shots and timelines
  • Strong metadata and media management to organise large productions
  • Mastering and output to a wide range of delivery formats

System Requirements

FAQs

Is SCRATCH only for colour grading?

No. Grading is a big part of it, but SCRATCH also handles dailies creation, conform, compositing, review and mastering, so a production can stay in one tool for much of post.

Can I try SCRATCH before paying?

Assimilate has traditionally offered trial access and subscription licensing through its official site. Check the current trial and pricing terms there, as offers change over time.
