National Association of Broadcasters 2020 Best of Show Award Winner 2020 SXSW Innovation Awards Finalist 2020 Startupfest $100K Prize Top Tier 2020 SaaS Awards Shortlist Audio Design Desk is an AI-Assisted content creation tool that reinvents the process of connecting audio to video, turning hours of frustrating work into minutes of inspired fun. It is an entirely new breed of Digital Audio Workstation that artists can play like an instrument, revolutionizing how sound for video is produced, refined and delivered. Our powerful AI engine notices users’ likes and dislikes, so over time, Audio Design Desk gets to know each user’s taste. It comes bundled with over 20,000 sounds embedded with patent-pending Sonic Intelligence™, which makes our groundbreaking technology possible. Audio Design Desk’s intuitive and innovative content creation tools empower filmmakers, sound designers, composers, and creators to produce cinema-quality compositions at the speed of thought, giving them a level of creative control that is unmatched by any other software. Here’s how it works: Every sound in the add.app library is assigned identifying characteristics and carries an embedded sync point, which means that as sounds are previewed and chosen, they automatically land on the timeline in the exact right position relative to the video. The user simply imports a video file into the app and presses keys on their keyboard—H for hits, R for rises, D for drones, or users can assign sets of sounds to their numeric keys. The user can then strike the keys to position sound elements in real-time while watching the video playback—in effect, using the QWERTY keyboard like a Smart Sampler. For users who would rather select audio manually, add.app can search, audition and place sounds right from the timeline, completely eliminating the need to parse through libraries, import sounds and then find where they sync. Once a composition is set, add.app understands where sound connects to video and, by adjusting replacement criteria such as intensity, complexity, genre or feel, Audio Design Desk can use its Sonic Intelligence™ to instantly turn a single composition into infinite alternates without losing sync. Perhaps the most mind-blowing of all, add.app uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and has built the foundation for Machine Learning (ML) to understand which sounds a user likes and which sounds they reject so, over time, add.app will learn and adjust to its user’s taste. add.app seamlessly integrates with the industry’s leading NLE software, including Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, Apple Logic, DaVinci Resolve, Avid Pro Tools, and Avid Media Composer, with frame.io integration coming soon. add.app also works with hardware controllers like the Elgato Stream Deck, which makes the process of adding sound effects via keystrokes even easier. Audio Design Desk is a SXSW Innovation Awards Finalist and winner of a 2020 NAB Show / Pro Sound News Best of Show Award. Already being used by editors at Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Originals, add.app is fueling creativity everywhere. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING Academy Award-nominated editor Matthew Cooke: “There isn't another piece of software that allows you to instantly create at this level of professionalism.” Sound Effects Editor of ZERO DARK THIRTY Jamie Hardt: “Audio Design Desk is the tool I’ve been looking for my entire career.” Mix Magazine: “Expertly designed,” “groundbreaking application that significantly speeds up the act of accurately adding sound effects and music to picture” ProAudioFiles: “A new paradigm for audio post production” Redshark News: “A breathtakingly effective idea for sound designers” Pro Video Coalition: “Represents an entirely new breed of Digital Audio Workstation—or DAW—that uses AI-assisted content creation tools to enable filmmakers, editors, sound designers and creators to produce cinema-quality sound in seconds"

Just like Minecraft enabled 70 million people to become 3D content creators, we think that there will be hundreds of millions of computer content creators and XR makes this incredibly accessible to people. Actually, StellarX is the path to fully accessible XR content creation for enterprise. Nowadays, the trend of more accessible tools continues, as does the amount of 3D data we are collecting. StellarX is making it easier than ever to leverage these assets. At OVA we have built over the past four years a world-class sandbox that helps 3D content creator to build easily virtual worlds. Further pushing this trend is the growth of mixed reality where 3D is a necessity. As we increasingly spend time in the digital world, our digital “stuff” will rival the importance of our physical “stuff”. Amazon is the destination for physical goods, but the destination for digital goods represents a substantial opportunity. This is why we think it's crucial to democratize the 3D content creation. Creating a mixed reality environment is a creative process that includes a lot of challenging steps including defining the interaction and logic, building the world with assets and animations, adding some avatars and, finally, testing the virtual world with real users. Moreover, at OVA we believe that machine learning can be used across the entire creation process. We are building the best artificial intelligence that works together with our sandbox users. It can co-create with them in the process of building virtual worlds, help creative problem solving by suggesting ideas and can take out all the non-creative work so our users can work on what’s important.
