Prestige

 

Casablanca Prestige is the new, smart production solution for digital video editing. Make your video the finest - without external, additional equipment and totally without a PC or PC experience. Casablanca Prestige is the hottest selling Non Linear Editor/DVD Authoring unit on the market today, with tens of thousands sold worldwide. Prestige adds an 160 gig removable hard drive for more video storage and DV in/out! Prestige adds scrub audio, the Scene function, 10 projects, more audio tracks, more record options, the ability to download CD music samples in seconds and much more.

Casablanca Prestige accelerates the creation of render-intensive effects and titles. Many 2D effects are created in real-time and are available for playback immediately after you have added them to the storyboard.

Actor, Director, Editor Joe Zimmerman adds Prestige to Hollywood productions. As a member of the Screen Actors Guild, and participant of "NYPD Blues," "Jurassic Park" and "The Addams Family," Joe has high standards and his colleagues expect professional work. When he's not working as a photo-double and/or stand-in for NBC's top-rated "ER" drama series at Warner Bros., he directs and produces award-winning feature films like "Crossfire," all entirely edited by Casablanca systems. And now with capabilities like DVD burning, high-quality titling, complete sound mixing and broadcast-quality output, all in one box, "the new Casablanca Prestige is a filmmakers dream come true," Joe says. "No wonder they call it THE DREAM MACHINE."
