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.
Feasibility and deployment strategies for cloud-based AOIP audio consoles
Tech Papers 2026: This paper investigates the feasibility of cloud-based audio-mixing systems by re-examining existing assumptions about network conditions, multicast transport and synchronisation.
