Continuous snapshots

Every cut on every connected bus, with a snapshot of every connected timecode source.

Overview

While Pixelrush is connected to your gear, it captures continuously in the background. Every source change on a connected video bus is recorded the moment it happens, and at every cut Pixelrush snapshots the current value from every connected timecode source.

What's captured

For every cut, Pixelrush stores:

  • The bus the change happened on.
  • The input that became the new source on the bus, by name as the device reports it.
  • A snapshot of the current value from every connected timecode source at the instant of the cut.
  • The wall-clock timestamp of the cut.

Every snapshot lives on disk persistently; capture starts the moment a connection is made.

What this enables

Other Pixelrush features build on this:

  • A recording session can be built from any past time window, by timecode or wall-clock range. The session works even if nothing was open at the time of the cuts.
  • A session's video bus or timecode source can be changed after capture; the cut list rebuilds from the existing snapshots.
  • A timeline export can be stamped with the snapshot from any timecode source that was connected at the moment of each cut.
