About Scenarist
We are the world's leading developer of professional authoring technology. Scenarist products enable major motion picture companies, high-end authoring facilities, producers, and independent content holders to release titles on DVD-Video, Blu-ray Disc and Ultra HD Blu-ray.
Scenarist brand authoring systems have been the Hollywood-standard since 1996 because they provide unparalleled access to format parameters and enable the ultimate level of authoring creativity for Hollywood's most demanding titles.
Our Philosophy
Integrity in design. We approach each development project with the keen understanding that content owners, producers, authoring artists, and business owners rely on our products for their daily livelihood. We are only successful if you are.
Full Spec Support
We work with standards bodies such as the DVD Forum and Blu-ray Disc Association to help define, test, and implement every aspect of the spec.
No Abstraction
Our systems grant full access to format controls so you can program creative titles without clogging your projects with useless commands that slow players down.
User Inspired
Our product development is done with user input. We pioneered the concept of early user engagement to perfect the authoring workflow prior to the launch of a format.
On-going Development
We've been perfecting our authoring engines for 30 years, starting with DVD-Video. New features, bug fixes, workflow enhancements — we're in it with you for the duration.
The Best Partners
Our partners build life-enriching technologies that enhance our products, and our resellers have long-standing client relationships built on integrity and trust.
Critical Care
We back up our systems with expert technical support, staffed by courteous and patient people who have vast front-line authoring experience. They speak your language.
