About
Disguise Designer creates a digital replica of a production environment for planning, visualising, sequencing, and controlling content. It supports pitch creation, camera fly-throughs, content validation, technical setup testing, and experience design. A real-time 3D visualiser represents the production in different codecs, resolutions, and colour spaces. Designer maps content to complex surfaces, including shaped LED screens and projection canvases, with UV mapping and dynamic blends. Its playback engine supports formats such as NotchLC, ProRes, HAP, uncompressed codecs, 2D plates, image sequences, and local or remote HTML5 content. RenderStream integrates with Unreal Engine, Notch, Unity, TouchDesigner, and Volinga NeRFs. Multi-Edit allows simultaneous project editing, while Multi-Transport can run timelines in response to external cues. Control support includes DMX, SMPTE timecode, MIDI, OSC, FreeD, and named tracking systems. The free Starter plan supports learning, testing, and project development without connecting to Disguise servers. Designer Pro is listed at $159/month and adds live show programming, real-time editing, collaboration, and server connections.
