Overview of Cinedeck Resolve cineXplugin

It is designed to simplify the post-production process, especially when fixing and adjusting your video files. With this software, you can effortlessly insert-edit fixes, re-wrap a QuickTime file with a new audio layout, or even create blank insert-edit-ready media. The beauty of the software is that it eliminates the need for time-consuming re-wrapping or re-exporting of your video files.

One of the standout features of the tool is its ability to mix codecs during insertion. Whether you have a ProRes HQ master with a DNxHD fix or any other codec combination, it can handle it effortlessly. This flexibility is a game-changer for post-production professionals working with various codecs in their projects.

Supported Codecs

It boasts broad codec support, making it a versatile tool for video editors. Here are some of the codecs it supports:

ProRes – all qualities

DNxHD / HR – all qualities/HD

XAVC, class 300 and 400

AVC-I

XDCAM

JPEG2000

H.264* (needs to be cineX created)

This extensive codec support ensures it can handle various video formats, making it suitable for post-production workflows.

Resolutions

It is resolution-independent, which means it can work with video files of different resolutions seamlessly. Whether you're dealing with standard definition (SD), high definition (HD), 2K, ultra-high definition (UHD), 4K, 8K, or even beyond, it has you covered. If you're using a raster-independent codec like ProRes, you can work with non-standard resolutions without any issues.

Wrapper

The software supports multiple wrapper formats, ensuring editing and playback systems compatibility. These include:

MOV

OP1A MXF

OPATOM MXF

MP4

Support for these wrapper formats allows you to work with various file types without hassle.

Colorspace

The color space and bit depth support in CineXtools depends on the codec you're working with. Generally, it supports YUV 8, YUV 10, RGB 10, and RGB 12. This flexibility ensures you can maintain your video files' quality and color accuracy during editing.

The software supports inserting HDR (High Dynamic Range) files like ProRes XQ. It handles colorspace conversions seamlessly when inserting from source to target. For example, insert a 10-frame RGB12 DPX sequence into your YUV10 ProRes HQ file. However, choosing appropriate color space conversions is essential to ensure the best results.
