ASSIMILATE, the industrys leading provider of DI and dailies digital workflow tools, announced today new v8 versions of its popular SCRATCH and SCRATCH Lab software, allowing users to encode Apple ProRes files on Microsoft Windows 7/8-based PCs.

SCRATCH and SCRATCH Lab v8 (including ProRes encoding for Windows 7/8) are available immediately.
Apple ProRes has become a de facto format in the industry for feature film, episodic television and documentary production, said Steve Bannerman VP of Marketing at ASSIMILATE.

ASSIMILATE now delivers best-in-class cross-platform functionality to our customers with officially licensed and certified ProRes, ensuring consistency in workflow and providing an industry-standard deliverable to both Mac and Windows users.
