Nine-V Post Pte Ltd

Offline / Online Editing / HD

Nine-V has five online suites available on three separate floors - all running Final Cut Pro. Full offline and online editing, professional colour grading and transmission-ready mastering is available, inclusive of editor and technical QC check in either HD, PAL or NTSC. The in-house creative team consists of experienced editors and motion graphic designers capable of handling a full range of projects - from basic corporate videos to full broadcast HD. Our full-time staff, spacious editing rooms and wide range of VTRs means your television or corporate video projects can be seamlessly completed under one roof.

We also provide basic digitizing and mastering (file-to-tape) services for production companies / post houses needing access to specific types of VTRs or formats. Your portable external hard drives can be brought in for this type of service.

An extensive music and sound effects library is available for use by all clients. Rates for music are quoted based on usage type or destination, but most corporate projects enjoy complimentary use of the library.

Prices are generally quoted by the hour for single projects, or as a package for long-form documentaries, feature films, or multi-episode series.

Tape Transfer & Duplication

All formats listed below are in-house, and can be used for digitizing, editing, duplication or mastering from hard disk. Transfer jobs (inclusive of HD frame-rate or NTSC-PAL conversions) are usually turned around within the same day, and we can combine multiple VTRs for simultaneous tape duplication.

Prices are normally quoted on a half-hour block for VTR-VTR transfers, and on an hourly block for disk-VTR mastering, Frame-rate, aspect or standards (NTSC-PAL) conversions are subject to an additional charge in addition to the tape transfer fee. Discounts are available for large volume duplication jobs.

Mass duplication of DVD media is quoted on an individual basis, as prices can vary with quantity and printing options. DVD authoring and design is charged at an hourly rate, and all discs can be produced in either PAL or NTSC.
