DrasticPreview SDK
Overview
With the DrasticPreview SDK, your application can:
- Open common production media file formats
- Play and display their video and automatically attached audio content
- Access metadata information embedded in the files
- Control playback, positioning, speed and active area
- Optionally access AJA, Bluefish444 and other video boards for output
The DrasticPreview SDK will automatically search out sidebar audio and metadata files, allowing your application to access them as a cohesive unit.
