POSTPRODUCTION EQUIPEMENT

At Spira, a range of postproduction equipment is at your disposal so you can attain professional results at lower costs. Many rental options are offered to meet your needs.

POSTPRODUCTION SUITE RENTAL

Come edit your film in our suite to use the most efficient postproduction devices. You can choose between a Windows-based workstation set up without compromise to ensure the best performances, and our Mac-based workstation that still handles demanding projects even though it is older.
You can benefit from unlimited use at a flat rate based on your film length or rent the postproduction suite at an hourly rate for your one-time needs.

A PROFESSIONAL POSTPRODUCTION FACILITY TO GO!

Our Mac editing station is available for you to rent and take home. For an additional cost, you can also rent and take home the required equipment for grading. A proof of insurance is required to rent the editing and grading equipment. If you do not have proper insurance coverage, Spira offers an accessible insurance program.
