Silverstack Lab 8.8
Silverstack Lab is set-to-production software that can be used for mission-critical data management and daily creation tasks for film productions. Used by the camera department, post-production facilities and nearby sets, its core lies in the clip library, where media files are recorded and their metadata is collected, structured and tracked.
The system allows for creating custom journals, an accurate and up-to-date metadata library, an automated lookup, an audio matching feature, and more. Now, with the release of Silverstack Lab 8.8, these are the new features added:
