We threw some XAVC footage at this new beta version, adjusted the exposure to different values and rendered out DPX files. We did the same with Sony RAW Viewer (same exposure levels). Then we compared the DPX files. Everything was spot on and exact. No variation on the scopes. This is wonderful! Thanks for adding this feature!
Additionally, we imported a clip that we knew had different exposure settings than normal. Cortex interpreted the exposure change in the metadata and automatically applied the correct exposure change. Again, this is awesome!
Two items that need addressed before final release:
- the decimals need removed from the exposure and kelvin fields. For example, the exposure might read 1250.0000 or the kelvin might be 5500.0000. Simply 1250 or 5500 should suffice.
- With these changes, I’d suggest you add six columns in the bin. Three for exposure, kelvin, tint as it was shot and three for applied exposure, kelvin, tint (as applied by Cortex). Of course these columns could be turned off by the user. This kinda goes hand-in-hand with the request to show all metadata columns.
