About

Alchemist converts SAS Base programs, Enterprise Guide projects, and DI jobs into PySpark for Databricks, Snowflake, or Microsoft Fabric. Its analyzers inventory SAS assets, estimate migration size in Alchemist tokens, and map dependencies among jobs, datasets, and macros. The Code Converter parses source into a syntax tree and applies patterns and templates to produce deterministic output; Enterprise Guide projects and DI jobs can also be converted from metadata. Teams can use the interface or API, hosted service, or private-network deployment, including air-gapped Docker environments. Alchemist converts code and pipeline logic but does not move data. The free trial provides a dashboard for any number of SAS assets with no time limit; it excludes conversion and full Analyzer detail. Paid kits use a one-time license per kit; conversion is charged pay-as-you-go by Alchemist token, with no subscription.

About

Alchemist X is a cloud-native video frame rate conversion platform developed by Grass Valley for professional broadcasting, live production, and global media distribution. The software uses eighth-generation motion-compensated processing technology to convert video between different broadcast standards while preserving image quality and smooth motion. It supports standard definition, HD, 1080p, and UHD 2160p formats, along with HDR and SDR conversion using HLG, PQ, and custom lookup tables. Its real-time processing capabilities enable broadcasters to convert live video feeds for simultaneous distribution across international markets and streaming platforms. Alchemist X also provides color space conversion, video enhancement, closed caption handling, and 16-channel audio processing with configurable gain, delay, and channel mapping.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Quality conversion from European videos to North American broadcast formats without speeding or slowing the source. Keeps the included closed captions in sync. You can also do the reverse. Change of speed is applied also to the sound (25 to 23,976, 24 to 25fps...), absolutely great. It can also upscale your content, but no AI to improve the picture. It is not the strength of this software. But for regular broadcast works, it keeps the quality of the picture when your source is film content. Also very good results when video sources (interlaced) are used.

Cons

  • It takes some times to find the correct parameters. Render process is quite slow (90 minutes movie may take 4 to 5 hours, depending on your hardware). Created for broadcast users. Pricey.
