Peek the workflow

Highlights

Why teams run DEGA

Built for creators who demand speed, quality, and reliability in their proxy workflows.

Proxy workflow

Auto proxies built on FFmpeg + zscale with VideoToolbox acceleration and safe fallbacks.

Clean structure

Opinionated folder builds and parity maps so editors and colorists get plug-and-play projects.

Speed everywhere

Atomic file ops, locking, and doctor checks keep teams moving without corrupting masters.

Outcomes

What it unlocks

Built for creators and production teams who want to stay in flow while DEGA handles the operational grind.

Capture-to-edit turnaround measured in minutes, not hours.

Shared folder logic that keeps post teams aligned across drives.

Parity guardrails that catch missing or orphaned proxies before delivery.

Workflow

From card dump to delivery receipts

DEGA keeps each stage deterministic so editors, colorists, and producers stay synced no matter who is holding the timeline.

Explore architecture

Boot the project

Spin up DEGA manifests, watcher configuration, and asset folders in seconds with `dega new-project`.

Ingest smarter

Alias camera cards, normalize naming schemes, and prep parity maps before a single proxy renders.

Proxy without fear

Hardware-accelerated FFmpeg runs with automatic color policy enforcement and safe fallbacks for every platform.

Ship with receipts

Parity checks catch drifts, export CSV receipts, and push Slack-ready summaries to collaborators on the fly.

Stack

Batteries-included for media teams

Blend the proven proxy pipeline with a production-ready Next.js front-end so the docs and GUI stay in lockstep with the CLI.

FFmpeg

Rock-solid proxies with color-accurate filters and tuned hardware acceleration.

VideoToolbox

Harness Apple silicon encoders while gracefully falling back for other platforms.

Typer CLI

Human-friendly command surface with progress feedback, rich help, and dry runs.

Next.js marketing

App Router pages, Lenis smoothing, and GSAP interactions ready for Vercel-scale launches.
