<p>cleaner 6 for Mac(r)-Essential Complement to Non-linear Editing Tools Takes<br />
Video to the Web, DVD, CD, PDAs and Cell Phones</p>
<p>San Francisco, Calif.-October 16, 2002-Discreet, a division of Autodesk<br />
Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSK), today announced it is shipping Discreet cleaner(tm) 6<br />
for Apple(r) Macintosh(r) video encoding software. Already recognized as<br />
the industry standard for professional video encoding, cleaner 6 further<br />
develops the power of cleaner software as the indispensable complement to<br />
non-linear editing tools such as Apple Final Cut Pro(r), Adobe(r)<br />
Premiere(r) and Avid(r) Xpress(r) DV. The availability of cleaner 6 comes<br />
at a time of increasing industry adoption, illustrating Discreet's<br />
unwavering commitment to the desktop market. In fact, according to<br />
AccuStream iMedia Research, in the first six months of 2002, online<br />
audiences accessed video streams across multiple mediums at a growth of 65<br />
percent when compared to the same timeframe in 2001.</p>
<p>"Discreet cleaner 6 has proved to be an invaluable tool that has helped us<br />
produce the highest quality final product, no matter what format we need to<br />
encode to," said Christopher Blandy, Director of Broadband Applications,<br />
FOXSports.com. "Coupled with Final Cut Pro, cleaner 6 for Mac is an<br />
essential part of our video encoding processes providing an extremely<br />
productive environment for our editors and producers."</p>
<p>Building upon the benchmark feature sets of Discreet's cleaner product<br />
line, cleaner 6 software sets the standard for creating high-quality<br />
encoding for new and popular digital formats including Apple's<br />
QuickTime(r), RealMedia(tm), Windows Media(tm), and Kinoma(tm), the latest<br />
downloadable video format for handheld PDAs. 150 high-quality presets<br />
enable editors to encode video with a single step, and more than 50<br />
professional filters and correction tools provide the power to fine-tune<br />
digital video to the highest possible quality.</p>
<p>"We are committed to helping our desktop customers maintain the quality of<br />
their video productions whether encoded for the Web, DVD or even for a<br />
PDA," said<br />
Joe Klingler, Senior Director, Software Development, Discreet. "The release<br />
of Discreet cleaner 6 for Apple Macintosh, reaffirms our commitment with<br />
significant improvements in quality, speed and workflow."</p>
<p>New Features<br />
Recognized as Macworld's "Best of Show" at its recent unveiling, cleaner 6<br />
software includes the following new and improved features: support for<br />
MPEG-4 and Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) audio compression through Apple's<br />
QuickTime 6; new 2-pass variable bit rate (VBR) encoding for MPEG-2 lets<br />
users create high-quality video for DVD; new Watch Folders provide editors<br />
the option to encode work directly from their non-linear editing tool from<br />
their desktop or across a network; optimization for the G4 Velocity Engine<br />
and improved dual processor support and drag-and-drop encoding allow<br />
editors to get work done quickly and efficiently.</p>
