Overview

BitJazz offers three different levels of licensing for SheerVideo: SheerVideo Reader, SheerVideo Pro Demo, and SheerVideo Pro. SheerVideo Reader contains only the Sheer decoders, so it can only read SheerVideo files. SheerVideo Pro contains the Sheer encoders, decoders, and transcoders, so it can both read and write SheerVideo files. SheerVideo Pro can be used free of charge in Demo mode on 20 different days, during which time it has all the functionality of SheerVideo Pro. Once the demo has been used on 20 different days, it reverts to Reader mode, so you can still open and view any SheerVideo files you or anyone else has created, but you will no longer be able to save them. To unlock the encoding and transcoding capaibilities of SheerVideo Pro after the demo has expired, you need to purchase a license and register the product.

Reader

The SheerVideo Reader is offered free of charge to individual users, under the terms of the SheerVideo Reader License Agreement. You can download SheerVideo Reader from BitJazz's website for free.

With SheerVideo Reader, you can decode any and all SheerVideo images and movies free of charge, without restriction, whether for viewing, scrubbing, playback, analysis, editing, or re-encoding or transcoding to a different non-Sheer format.

SheerVideo Reader cannot encode SheerVideo image or movie files.

If you only need to view SheerVideo files created by other people, then SheerVideo Reader is the best choice for you.

Demo

SheerVideo Pro Demo is offered free of charge to individual users, under the terms of the SheerVideo Evaluator License Agreement. You can download SheerVideo Pro from BitJazz's website for free.

To enable you to properly evaluate SheerVideo Pro in your workflow before making a purchase decision, SheerVideo Pro has a 20-day Demo mode. In Demo mode, SheerVideo Pro is fully functional free of charge for the first 20 days of use. That means 20 days on which the product is actually used to encode SheerVideo files, so, for example, if you only use the Demo once a week, it will last 20 weeks.

During the Demo period, you can use SheerVideo Pro to both encode and decode any and all SheerVideo images and movies free of charge, without restriction, whether for capturing, saving, re-encoding or transcoding to a different Sheer format, viewing, scrubbing, playback, analysis, editing, or re-encoding or transcoding to a different non-Sheer format.

If you are uncertain whether SheerVideo Pro will meet your needs in your workflow, we encourage you to try it out in Demo mode before deciding to make the purchase.

Pro

SheerVideo Pro is available for on-line purchase and immediate download from the web, under the terms of the SheerVideo End-User License Agreement.

With SheerVideo Pro, you can both encode and decode any and all SheerVideo images and movies free of charge, without restriction, whether for capturing, saving, re-encoding or transcoding to a different Sheer format, viewing, scrubbing, playback, analysis, editing, or re-encoding or transcoding to a different non-Sheer format.

Once you have purchased a SheerVideo Pro license, you are entitled to on-line technical support and free upgrades.

If you work with professional-quality digital film, video, or still imagery, then you need SheerVideo Pro.
