Cineon/DPX Pro for Final Cut Studio 3.0.17

Cineon/DPX Pro for Final Cut Studio 3.0.17 is designed to let Final Cut Studio 3 (as well as FCS 2) and jused with the components, as well. Apple's Color 3DLUT files, Pandora 3D LUTs, as well as LUTher 3D LUT files are supported.

Rock-solid playback is now available for any applications. Everything fro 1K and 720p to HD and 2K playback is possible. Final Cut Pro editors can now edit directly, with their footage, eliminating the need to convert all of the frames to an intermediate QuickTime movie.

For those that own AJA's Kona 3 hardware, you can now preview your Cineon or DPX footage, real time using Compressor 3. You can even take advantage of a Qmaster render farm, to speed up your exporting process.

Major Features:

1. Full Integration into Final Cut Pro
   • With the Glue Tools Pro for Final Cut Studio package, productions can import and export Cineon or DPX sequences right into Final Cut Pro. No additional processing is required. Metadata from the Cineon and DPX files also goes directly into Final Cut Pro, along with the Time Code and Imagery.
2. Playback
   
   • On capable systems with high speed storage, the Cineon/DPX Components can deliver rock-solid playback speeds. On slower machines, including laptops, the ability to “scrub” through a shot, is now possible. Regardless of the system’s capability, the Cineon/DPX Components enable any QuickTime application to have a Cineon or DPX frame flipper “built-in.”
3. 3D LUTs
   • 3D LUT files can be used.
4. Time Code
   • Time Code is loaded right into any QuickTime application that supports Time Code tracks. Reel Names (Time Code track labels) can also be added for Application such as Final Cut Pro. During export, Time Code can be baked into the DPX header, as well.
5. Metadata
   • Many hardware and software vendors offer the ability to embed Metadata information into the Cineon or DPX frames. A feature of these components is to retrieve these bits of information and make them available to your tools or applications.
6. Anamorphic Un-squeeze
   • Controls are now provided to have QuickTime un-sequeeze frames that have been shot with different aspect ratios. The supported ratios include: 1.33, 1.778, 1.85, 2.35, and 2.37.
7. Frame Rate
   • The Components now offer the ability to Override Preset Frame Rates. This makes the Cineon/DPX QuickTime components the ideal way to re-time shots from 24FPS to 23.98.
8. Export
   • Independent filmmakers will find this to be the ideal solution, when exporting their HD projects out to film. With QuickTime and these Components, Indy Filmmakers can convert their entire project into Cineon or DPX sequences, so that they can have them color corrected at a DI facility, and then printed to film.
9. Work with the raw files in their uncompressed native bit depth (10-bit RGB or 10-bit Log, for example). These files are not the compressed or transcoded movies that are generated from hardware capture cards.

    Enhancements:

    • Compressor now exports proper timecode
    • Fixed issues with 29.97 drop frame timecode in Compressor
    • Added new code to export 23.976 drop frame timecode (on demand - this isn't supposed to be possible).
    • Updated UTI info in spotlight to fix compatibility with Snow Leopard and potentially with Pomfort's Silver Stack.
    • Fixed code in the 8-bit 422 YCbCr code for 8-bit video DPX frames.
