Additionally, a dedicated Settings window with tabs allows lightning-fast access to Project, User, and Location settings, while an Inspector makes viewing specific metadata simple.
Unprecedented color accuracy.
Media Composer's 32-bit floating point color pipeline and ACES color space support not only ensures compatibility with future content, but also ensures consistent color accuracy, essential for color correction and grading tasks. Support for lossless 32-bit DNxUncompressed formats ensures maximum image quality when rendering effects and color correction. OpenEXR decoding speeds up work with HDR effects, without the need to re-encode the media. Additionally, IMF packaging tools in the Symphony option facilitate delivery to streaming platforms
