Features

Supports Sony embedded LUTs and Cine EI workflow

The plugin supports linking footage in the video sub-sampling formats 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 at 8 and 10 bits. AAC and PCM audio are supported. The plugin reads the time code and interprets most of the important metadata when this is encapsulated in the media. Furthermore, it detects BT.2020, HLG, and other HDR capture gamma formats in HEVC shots so that Media Composer can automatically assign a color transformation that matches the project color space.

Once purchased

After the plugin has been unlocked with a license key, you can continue to use the clips that were previously linked in demo mode. You do not need to re-link them. The logo will disappear after the key has been validated by the plugin. However, transcodings and video mixdowns have to be redone since they have been encoded with the logo in the source image.
