Welcome to xSTUDIO - v1.3.0

xSTUDIO is a media playback and review application designed for professionals working in the film and TV post production industries, particularly the Visual Effects and Feature Animation sectors. xSTUDIO is focused on providing an intuitive, easy to use interface with a high performance playback engine at its core and C++ and Python APIs for pipeline integration and customisation for total flexibility.

Documentation Note

Note that the xSTUDIO user guide is built with Sphinx using the Read-The-Docs theme. The package dependencies for building the docs can be challenging to install so we instead include the fully built docs as part of xSTUDIO's repo, as well as the source for building the docs. Our build set-up by default disables the building of the docs to make life easy!
