Produce & Present
WATCHOUT is by far the easiest, fastest and most reliable way to create spectacular presentations. From the smallest conference gig all the way to mapping the most famous buildings in the world, WATCHOUT’s got you covered with over 15 years of unrivaled performance and reliability.
Complex Simplicity
With WATCHOUT we wanted to make it truly simple to produce multi-display presentations. And that’s remained our guiding principle over the years as we’ve added all the cool, new, often rather complex, capabilities our customers need to stay ahead.
Interface
Totally Approachable
You’ll get it in no time. WATCHOUT is similar to many video editing and compositing programs. Drag stills, audio and video clips onto the timeline. Fly content across any number of displays. Apply effects and transitions.
Possibilites
Infinitely Expandable
Use any number of displays, edge-blended projectors or LED walls, arranged at any angle and in any shape or size. It’s all orchestrated by WATCHOUT so there’s no thinking about individual computers or juggling files. Ultimate creative freedom.
3D Projection
The new 3D Projector feature literally adds a whole new dimension. While WATCHOUT traditionally manages flat or curved image surfaces, 3D Projector enables pixel-accurate projection onto complex 3D geometry.
