The focused set of utilities simplify timeline translation, automate repetitive checks and improve visibility during the final stages of post. Timeline Exchange translates timelines across NLEs, preserving bezier PTZR keyframes and speed ramps while correcting most issues conform editors would otherwise fix by hand. This is all processed securely and with minimal compute overhead. A timeline-aware file transfer system called i2o takes a faster and smarter approach to receiving trimmed media. And Conform Connect provides a suite of workflow tools designed to increase operator speed — from automating tedious conform tasks to automatically aligning clips to the offline reference. "These tools were built out of necessity," explains founder and post super- visor Ted Griffis. "Conform editors, colorists and finishing artists should be spending their time enhancing the creative edit, not rebuilding it." Conform.Tools is available in yearly, monthly, studio and pay-as-you-go subscriptions. PICKLE MUSIC OPENS BROOKLYN STUDIO BROOKLYN, NY — Pickle Music (picklemusicstudios.com) has opened in Brooklyn's DUMBO neighborhood, where it is now offering original music, music supervision and audio post services. The Brooklyn studio at 45 Main Street is designed with clients and collaborators in mind, and is equipped with a vocal booth, and studios for both stereo and full surround sound mix- ing. Ripple will represent the studio on the West Coast. The company also has representation in Madrid and Buenos Aires. "The space was thoughtfully designed with our clients and partners in mind, and with the understanding that while many still work in a hybrid or re- mote fashion, in-person collaborations elevate the work and the experience," shares James Zavaleta, Pickle Music's managing director/executive producer. "We want everyone who walks in to feel comfortable, at home and inspired. Inviting people into the process is what we are all about, and this studio embodies that welcoming feeling for our team and anyone who spends time with us." Pickle's credits include work for Sabrina Carpenter/Dunkin' Donuts, Miller Lite, Ikea, Doordash, Chase Bank and Verizon. WEMAKECOLOR BECOMES HYBRID COLOR FACILITY MEXICO CITY — WeMakeColor (https://wemakecolor.com), the boutique color and post production studio, with facilities in Mexico City and Bogotá, Colombia, has expanded its technical offerings with the integration of FilmLight's Baselight for MacOS, alongside a Slate control panel. The investment marks a significant step in its evolution into a hybrid facility, working across both DaVinci Resolve and Baselight platforms. WeMakeColor's growth includes the development of a larger, purpose-built facility in Mexico City, designed to support expanded post offerings. By in- tegrating Baselight into its workflow, WeMakeColor positions itself among a select group of facilities in the region capable of operating seamlessly across both grading systems. "Resolve has been a fundamental part of my journey as a colorist over the past decade," explains WeMakeColor founder and lead colorist Felipe Martínez U. "It shaped how I understand and work with images. But bringing Baselight into the studio challenges me in new ways. It invites a different way of thinking about color — one that's more intentional and precise. Together, they allow us to be more versatile and ultimately make me a more complete artist." WeMakeColor will be able to tailor its approach to the creative and technical demands of each project, particularly across long-form series and feature films.
