Nucleus

A Department of Post platform

Nucleus

All services

The foundation for reliable metadata in modern film production.

Built to sit at the centre of your workflow, Nucleus streamlines, corrects and distributes metadata so every department works from a single source of truth. From acquisition through delivery, it automatically normalises inconsistent data, resolves errors, and turns metadata into a dependable asset rather than a constant risk. Available as a secure web platform or on-premises – worldwide, 24/7.

Step 01

Capture

Metadata is ingested from camera, sound and on-set systems the moment it’s created – nothing is left to manual re-entry.

Step 02

Normalise & correct

Inconsistent or broken metadata is automatically normalised and resolved, so every tool downstream reads the same truth.

Step 03

Distribute

Clean metadata flows between departments, tools and vendors worldwide – editorial, VFX, colour, sound and delivery.

Nucleus VFX

Production metadata, baked into the pull.

Nucleus VFX embeds production-critical metadata directly into EXR headers during a VFX pull – camera data, lens info, colour settings, frame ranges and production IDs – turning VFX pulls into a scalable, automated workflow.
