Wormhole®

Automated, Artifact-Free
Content Retiming

Tachyon Wormhole® precisely adjusts the run length of video and audio in a single automated process – without introducing visual artifacts or audio distortion. Unlike other solutions that rely on dropping or duplicating frames, Wormhole preserves smooth motion while maintaining frame accuracy. Audio run-length adjustment and pitch correction technology from Skywalker Sound ensures audio quality remains natural, broadcast-ready, and perfectly in sync with the video.

What It Does
  • Retime video and audio up to ±20% (300% for video-only)
  • Modify program duration without compromising creative intent or viewer experience.
  • Keeps Audio and Captions In Sync – no manual fixes required.
  • Motion-compensated processing ensures smooth pans, natural motion, and clean playback, even with aggressive retimes.
