Announcing ScopeBox 4
Today we released ScopeBox 4, a huge update years in the making. There are too many changes to list them all, but the highlights include an overhaul of the user interface to bring the look and feel up to date, a number of new scopes, support for HDR and wide color gamuts, and many new features to make color matching and look creation faster and more fluid.

ScopeBox 4 missing features
When we first shipped ScopeBox over 10 years ago, the market was drastically different - FireWire cameras, PowerPC macs, and color correction suites outside of the price range of most creators. At the time, we were mostly targeting shooters, working in the field with a laptop and a DV camera. Over the years the industry has changed, and we have found a niche as creative scopes to help visual artists craft an image. With the introduction of ScopeBox 4 we've doubled down on that vision for the application.

Using a 4K or 5K display with your Mac

We'd like to help break down the options a bit.

Buggy Hardware
Over the last decade, there’s been a quiet revolution in the world of video hardware.

Platforms like Kickstarter mean independent inventors with an idea can track down a small but devoted audience. Whereas it used to take a massive, integrated manufacturer to build a camera or a capture device, it can now be done by a small team.

Forget Flash, Skip GIF, Control iOS
A few months ago, Apple announced the new iPhone5. To us though, the most interesting part wasn't the new hardware, but some subtle animation on the “Design” page. Obviously Apple wouldn’t use Flash to do animation on their site. And the HTML5 video tag doesn’t really allow video to be used as a design element the way it was used on these pages. The type of motion didn’t look like something that could be easily achieved with CSS. Find out how this grew into our newest product, Phosphor...

Using HDV with Final Cut Pro X
Final Cut Pro X has been making huge waves in the Mac non-linear editing space for the last six months - some positive, some negative. As with any massive, ground up rethink of an application, there are bound to be issues. Luckily, we've got solutions!

InDepth: Choosing a Post Production Codec
One of the most common questions we receive from ClipWrap users is “Which format should I use?” ClipWrap provides users a variety of choices beyond rewrapping. You can choose Apple Intermediate, DV, DVCProHD, HDV, along with a pile of variations on ProRes and Avid DNxHD. So which one is right? Well, that all depends.

In Depth: H.264 Decoding on the Mac
“It works for me.” These are the words that strike fear into the hearts of developers and users alike. Months of testing and still a file that opens or plays fine on one computer gives a frustrating error on another. More often than not, in the world of ClipWrap, these issues come down to H.264, the video codec behind AVCHD. In this post, we're going to look at the current state of H.264 decoding on the Mac.

ClipWrap 2.0.3 update
I just posted the second update to ClipWrap in as many days. Now problems with simpler codec implementations (mostly still cams and AVCLite)/ transcoding to AIC & ProRes/ corrupt video frames should all be a thing of the past. I want to thank everyone for their patience - an application like ClipWrap covers a lot of permutations of cameras and computers, far more than we can afford to test with, and far more than we get exposed to even during the months and months of beta testing we did.

ClipWrap 2.0!
Today is a big day. When we started this upgrade to ClipWrap almost a year ago, no one knew if it was even possible. Today I'm happy to say, ClipWrap 2.0 is rewrapping mts/m2ts files from nearly every AVCHD camera on the market.

NAB 2009 wrapup (and coupon code!)
I'm a bit late in posting this, but I wanted to followup NAB 2009 with a brief wrap up. We decided not to exhibit this year, instead choosing to save the money for more directed advertising and customer outreach this coming year. This seems to be the stance of many companies as of late.
