Smart. Simple. Beautiful. Like nothing else.
Ramma is post production support software designed to take the pain out of finding problems when working with image sequences of animation or video.
- See bad frames at a glance. Supports all common formats.
- Sequence auto-update. Detect “0-byte” / bad headers.
- Scan nested folders.
Ramma easily finds bad or missing frames in images and particle sequences.
Render problems can happen for many reasons, often due to hardware or software failure, or human error but hunting down these problems in sequences can be a nightmare.
This is why Ramma exists. Whether they be missing or dropped frames, corrupted or even non-contiguous frames that are given an incorrect numerical padding in the filename, Ramma quickly and automatically detects these common problems.
Intended for post production professionals—large facilities as well as smaller or indie shops—producing motion graphics, visual effects, colour grading or other video and animation work, working with Autodesk, Adobe, Foundry, Blackmagic Design, Maxon or any products that render to image sequences.
It is designed to be fast, smart, and simple, to find problems at a glance. To mitigate problems that may arise before export and delivery, saving you time and grief.
Features
CLEAN & CLEAR
Ramma is designed to be simple to understand and easy to use. Every frame of a sequence is represented as a block in the user interface, making it easy to see problems at a glance.
NESTING INSTINCT
Ramma automatically adds nested folders that contain sequences, making it easy to work with versions and render passes in separate sub-folders.
STAY UPDATED
Ramma updates on the fly when changes to sequences are detected. With this you can effectively use Ramma as a render output monitor. Ramma will also display notifications if problems are found.
SEQUENCE VALIDATION
Ramma inspects each frame and checks it for incorrect file headers, file size divergence or other factors that would cause a sequence to become invalidated.
DESIGNED TO BE FAST
Ramma is engineered to populate sequences and report any potential problems fast, without user intervention.
ALL IN THE DETAILS
Ramma provides contextual information about frames, their file name on disk and what— if any— problem there may be.
SUPPORT FOR ALL COMMON FORMATS
Ramma supports all common production render file formats such as .exr, .dpx, .sgi, .tif and .tga.
WORKS OVER A NETWORK*
Whether working locally or within an infrastructure, Ramma can access sequences wherever folder access is granted.
* recommended 100MB wired network
