Abstract:
Virtual production, real-time engines and advanced VFX pipelines rely on complex, interconnected software ecosystems. Small and mid-sized studios face persistent challenges around interoperability, brittle toolchains, licensing costs and slow turnaround for bespoke tooling. This paper presents three applied case studies from Fivefold demonstrating how AI-assisted Rapid Application Development (RAD) materially changes how production software is designed, built and maintained: a browser-based LED wall configuration tool, a real-time projection mapping simulator, and a frame-accurate native 2D playback engine.

Selective multi-pass encoding for cost-effective video streaming
Tech Papers 2026: This paper presents a content-adaptive strategy, CASE, that predicts whether additional encoding passes would provide meaningful gains using a lightweight mechanism that derives spatial and temporal features from each video segment.
Scalable SSIM estimation from PSNR for per-title and context adaptive encoding workflows
Tech Papers 2026: This paper proposes ApproxSSIMate, a low-complexity method for estimating SSIM from PSNR combined with reference-sequence statistics.
Deep learning super resolution for dense dynamic point Cloud compression
Tech Papers 2026: This paper proposes Video-based Super Sampling Point Cloud Compression (VSS-PCC), a method that uses neural super-resolution to reduce the size of point cloud data before compression.
Client device discovery: An open standard for bridging the first-mile gap in cloud media workflows
Tech Papers 2026: This paper presents the architecture, protocol design, and security model of TR-12, demonstrates its contract-first approach using Smithy models, and discusses early implementation experience with the open source SDK.
Scene-adaptive camera: Dynamic imaging parameter control for localised shooting areas
Tech Papers 2026: This paper examines a scene-adaptive camera that dynamically adjusts imaging parameters across different areas of a frame to improve image quality.
