Two tools, built on set.
Published by the people who depend on them.

Zerex is the software arm of Arcane & Bestiaire, a post-production house. We publish two products, and we use both of them on our own jobs before anyone else pays for them.

The two panels below are the real interfaces, replayed in the page. Not a single screenshot on this site.

What we publish

Two products. One problem, taken at both ends.

A shooting day produces two things that must not be lost: the footage itself, and the record of what was shot. One tool answers for each. They are sold separately, they share a charter, and neither one needs the other to be worth having.

macOS · Apple Silicon

Replica

Card to disk. Proven byte for byte.

Replica copies camera cards to as many disks as you need, reads the card once to feed every destination, and only gives a file its real name once the checksums match. A file you can see in the arrival folder is complete and verified — there is no third state.

  • One read of the card feeds every destination at once.
  • Resumes at the exact byte after a crash or an ejected drive.
  • Hands production a report at wrap: PDF, CSV, MHL or JSON.

Setline

Cut. Logged before the next setup.

Setline takes the camera and script report where it is actually written: on the floor, between two setups. It times the take, keeps the dailies in script order, reads the real timecode off the rush, and hands DaVinci Resolve its metadata without a single retype.

  • Two taps between “cut” and the next setup.
  • Dailies sorted the way a human counts: scene, shot, take.
  • Resolve gets its columns filled from the same rows you logged.

Commitments

What will not change, whatever else does.

A tool that holds the only copy of a shooting day is not an ordinary purchase. These are the terms we are prepared to be held to, and they are the reason the software is published by a company of its own.

Your rushes stay yours

Replica needs no account and phones nobody. Setline keeps the day on the iPad. Nothing leaves your machine unless you export it, and the cloud option on Setline is exactly that — an option, priced separately, off until you ask for it.

Open formats, no lock

Every report leaves as PDF, CSV, JSON or MHL. The checksums are standard MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256. If we disappeared tomorrow, the files we wrote would still be readable by tools that have nothing to do with us.

Priced by the project, not by the month

You pay for the ten days of a commercial or the days you actually shoot. No subscription running through prep, the edit and the months where nothing is rolling.

We ship on our own shoots first

Arcane & Bestiaire is a working post-production house. Both products go out on our jobs before a version reaches you, which is a slower way to release and the only one that catches what a test never does.

French and English, software and support

Both applications are bilingual, both reports are composed in the language of the app, and you get an answer in whichever of the two you wrote in.

Updates included for the length of the licence

A licence covers the versions published while it runs. No paid upgrade in the middle of a shoot, and no feature held back to fill a later release.

Company

Why the software left the post house.

Arcane & Bestiaire finishes films. It has done that for years, and it will keep doing it. But a post-production house that also sells software to its own competitors owes everyone an answer about where one ends and the other begins.

Zerex is that answer: a separate company, with its own roadmap, its own support and its own books. A production that hands us its rushes is buying post-production. A DIT who buys Replica is buying software. Neither one is quietly funding the other, and neither one can be held hostage to it.

Wholly owned
Zerex is a subsidiary of Arcane & Bestiaire.
Separate books
Licences are billed by the software company, never by the post house.
Same charter
Shared identity and shared engineering, deliberately.
Target first answer
TODO — set the response time you can actually hold

One address, read by the people who build the software.

Support

A shoot does not wait for a ticket queue.

Most software support is designed around office hours. A camera card is copied at two in the morning on a Sunday, and the truck leaves at six. The commitments below are written for that, not for a call centre.

Written support
By email, in French or English, from a human who knows the code.
Priority while you shoot
A licence that is running on a shooting day comes first in the queue.
Bug reports get an answer
Not a status page. A person, a version number, and what we intend to do about it.
Your data, recoverable
Transfer state and reports are plain files on your disk. We can talk you through them even if the app will not open.
