The closest I got was CatDV, but without the DAM capabilities and associated levels of support and complexity. EditReady can be automated through its command-line interface as well.Īll the while I was trying out EditReady’s features, I was comparing this new app with the others I have previously (and currently) been reviewing.

EDITREADY 2 TRANSCODE HOW TO

One unique feature of EditReady that I couldn’t try out is its ability to show you on a map where a clip has been shot - provided your camera has a built-in GPS that was working when shooting the clip.įinally, you can customise metadata keys if you know how to work with JSON. Whatever method you prefer, you don’t have to wait for the transcoding job to finish before starting on a new job! You can also transcode only flagged clips, or one-by-one. In the main window, you load the LUT you want to effectively apply.ĮditReady supports batch processing, so you can transcode all loaded files with the same settings together. While previewing the clip, you can change LUTs without actually applying them to the end-result.

The icon lets you access the LUTs stored on your system. That window has a sort of rosette like icon in the top right corner. This is done in the separate, but built-in player window. Here you can first preview the clip with a LUT applied before committing to one. I initially missed that one completely, but it’s there and it couldn’t be easier.įor colour grading EditReady supports 3D LUTs. Renaming files dynamically is done by dragging metadata fields - the label icons next to the metadata - to the renaming ‘well’. I could be wrong, but I think everyone’s needs are covered well in this department. You can add as many metadata fields as you wish from a pre-defined bunch of categories. Adding metadata is done in a separate window. There is, however, a tutorial guide on Vimeo that explains how it works. Renaming files is easy with EditReady, as is adding metadata, but it’s a bit a hidden feature that’s not well explained in the user guide.

EDITREADY 2 TRANSCODE INSTALL

You can install Avid’s codecs for free, independent of any other Avid products, by downloading it from. That’s - as Divergent Media’s Colin McFadden told me - because Divergent Media doesn’t ship a built in DNxHD codec, but rather rely on the Avid provided codec. If you don’t have Avid products installed on your system, you’ll see the DNxHD codecs greyed out. You would use pass-through ‘transcoding’ if you wanted to add metadata, colour grade (more on that later), or change framerate, for example. There’s also the ability to pass-through video as well as audio formats. EditReady supports all ProRes and DNxHD flavours and H.264.

EDITREADY 2 TRANSCODE UPDATE

Now that the app is out in the world, our next update towards the end of the summer will be to add in more natively supported camera formats.” The export formats support is fine even in this first version. I asked the developers about future import formats and their response was promising: “In version 1.0 we focused in on QuickTime to QuickTime conversions. As expected, RED clips were not recognised.

On the other hand, a GoPro file first converted in GoPro Studio Pro to the intermediate Cineform format was recognised without a problem, even if it did not play in the QuickTime player. For example, I tried dropping an AVCHD file - the bundle OS X makes of it - and EditReady didn’t recognise it, although it did play in the QuickTime player. This first version of the app supports only those formats that you can play in the QuickTime player but that’s not an accurate claim. Let me start with its support for clip formats. As far as the other features are concerned, EditReady is nice too. If you have a lot of ProRes files, you’ll want EditReady - if not for anything else, then surely for its speed. Even when I had Episode running with two extra nodes, EditReady was faster. I compared it to Red Giant’s BulletProof, Squeeze 9 and Episode Engine and it’s a whole lot faster than any of those. It’s transcoding process to ProRes is fast. EditReady looks simple but is pretty powerful - but that’s not why you will want to have a copy.ĮditReady has one huge major appeal. It supports metadata and custom file naming. EditReady transcodes media from any QuickTime compatible format to one of the ProRes or DNxHD formats, as well as to H.264. Divergent Media recently released its EditReady tool, a fast transcoding utility for video production pros.
