wetpixel 0 Posted August 12, 2011 Rarevision has released an update to their 5DtoRGB transcoding engine. The app transcodes files in the AVC/H.264 file format to either uncompressed DPX or Apple ProRes. Version 1.5 offers: Technicolor CineStyle LUT support, full support for Canon EOS series/Panasonic SLR support, higher quality output than Canon's E1 plugin, higher quality output than QuickTime Player or FCP, output at different frame rates, command line / shell scripting support, DPX, ProRes and DNxHD output (DPX & ProRes Mac only, DNxHD Windows only), complete control over gamma correction / flagging, raw YCbCr output option for unprocessed luma channel extractionand timecode support. Version 1.5 also offers OpenGL and 64 bit support. It is free to download for Mac or Windows. View the full article Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drew 0 Posted August 12, 2011 For a while, I'd been using it to transcode. Switching to native editing Adobe CS5, the transcoding software do need to differentiate themselves to stay relevant, since it's basically extending the workflow time by a lot. What's nice about 5DtoRGB is the ability to change frame rates (FCS 3's Cinema Tools does it faster), getting REC709/601 profiles and of course time code support. Will be interesting to see if 5DtoRGB uses multicores. That was always a problem with many of the encoders. But since I went native, I haven't been paying too much attention to improvements.
