 At
right is the SetActiveMetadata control panel located in the CineForm --> Tools directory under
Windows Start Menu.
Global
Overrides: The upper panel labeled "Global Overrides" (color
added for emphasis), globally controls whether Active Metadata
is applied after the CineForm RAW file is decoded, and before it
is presented to the calling application. Each Active Metadata
parameter can be enabled or disabled individually. The Active
Metadata control is independent of the calling application.
Debayer for
8-bit Playback: Offers choice of DeBayer algorithm when the
CineForm decoder is requested to playback at full resolution
8-bit RGB. This includes most applications such as Sony
Vegas, Virtual Dub, and others. Automatic = Bilinear Demosaic.
Note: Playback in Windows Media Player will always
use the Bilinear Demosaic algorithm independent of the Debayer
algorithm choice.
Debayer for
16-bit Playback: Offers choice of DeBayer algorithm when the
CineForm decoder is requested to render CineForm RAW files as
16-bit RGB or greater. This includes Adobe After Effects
and Autodesk Combustion. Automatic = CineForm Advanced Detail
1.
Color Database:
The lower panel
labeled "Color Database" (color added for emphasis) manages the
color database on a "Project" basis. This means you can
use multiple instances of the same clip in different "projects",
each with a different set of applied color data.
Note1:
Currently the only way to to change active metadata
assigned to a file (for instance - to attach a different 3D LUT)
is to use the CineForm RAW File Metadata controls within
Premiere Pro. In a later release the changing of Active Metadata
will be added to the SetActiveMetadata utility.
Note2: In
many projects you will not need to use the selector controls
underneath Color Database. If you are editing a project in
Premiere Pro for instance, the CineForm RAW File Metadata
controls should suffice.
Additional Color Database
features:
Save:
Saves any color changes performed on one of more clips into the
current project's color database
Export: Will export the
current Project database into a new .CDB file so the color
database can be moved to a different PC. Currently you can
move the .CDB file only between Windows PCs. In the future
you will be able to move it to Mac. When moving the .CDB
file you must also move associated .Look files and register them
on the new system. (In the future the "Export" feature
will also gather all .Look files for easier movement between
machines).
Delete:
Deletes the current Project, but leaves the current color for
all clips as is. Use Reset to clear color data from all your
clips
Reset:
Removes any color customization, restores the while balances and
LOOK back to the camera's default
Branch:
Creates a new Project which inherits the settings from the
previously active Project.
Merge Projects (check box):
When selecting a previously stored Project, all Color settings
from the Current Project will be appended (additive) to the
newly selected Project. |
