Emergency support

We’ve all been there…

Unknown crashes, “performance like” issues on powerful machines, lost work and frustration to name a few.

I will help with throughout analysis of your system to try finding out the root cause of your issues or at least narrow down the possibilities.
From incompatible plugins thru network setup to incorrect hardware setup or drivers that are poorly performing.

That also includes big systems that use many workstations, shared storage, MAM and
audio / video playback with timecode synchronization and ATMOS.

Don’t hesitate to contact me, time is precious
