Some words about Nablast origin

Why I started to build CrossFlow

I built CrossFlow because the Premiere-to-Resolve trip (or Premiere-to-Resolve-to-Premiere) is a problem many editors are facing, and the existing options (generic interchange formats, manual relinking) weren’t good enough for real editorial work.

For me, as an independent small Premiere Pro editor, I always wanted to discover the Blackmagic world and try Resolve, especially for its Grading capabilities but I also did not want to leave Premiere. So building CrossFlow was the perfect tool for that and I can now grade all my existing projects within Resolve, and even finish them in Premiere after that.

My experience at Autokroma

With the Autokroma Team (Marion and Antoine), I built 2 plugins which also faced real editors problem in Premiere Pro, and we continue together to improve those plugins, answering to our user needs.

About the name “Nablast”

Nabla (∇) is the mathematical operator that describes how something changes: direction, gradient, flow. Blast is force and speed. Nablast is both: transformation done with precision, and the momentum to push it through. Test

Nablast is a name for everything I do. Here plugins but also my other personal projects (music, video, ..). The combination between mathematics, logic, movement, and passion.

Nicolas profil

Nablast is Nicolas Favre

I’m Nico. Software is my day job. I build tools for the video editing world, but it’s not the only thing I do. I’m co-president of Aya Atma, an association behind events around Toulouse, and under the name Nablast, I also produce electronic music.

That name isn’t new, actually: I was Nablast the producer (check soundcloud or spotify) long before I was Nablast the software brand.

On the more official side: an engineering degree in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics from ENSEEIHT, a few years in the industry, then Autokroma in 2019, where I co-designed BRAW Studio and, in 2021, PlumePack. 2026 is the year I go also independent. This site, and CrossFlow, are the result.
