Overall HD-VU2 is very easy to use and would be intuitive enough to navigate for even the least tech savvy producer or client. HD-VU2 gives you the ability preview over 20 different camera formats, including those that won’t play in your common media players like VLC or QuickTime player, such as: There’s obviously been a lot of thought put into the functionality of the player, especially with regards to sorting and organising media, which you can see in more detail in the tutorial above and demo below. You can also temporarily add LUTS in the viewer, not affecting the source media in anyway, to see what that might look like in post, which is a nice feature. SILVERSTACK XT TUTORIAL FOR MACHD-VU2 is a multi format media player for Mac created by Imagine Products, the capable team behind ShotPut Pro and other post production tools, to allow you to quickly view all kinds of native camera media, along with their associated metadata, in one simple to use player. SILVERSTACK XT TUTORIAL FULLPluralEyes 4 costs $299 and the full Shooter Suite costs $399. SILVERSTACK XT TUTORIAL UPDATESo to sum up PluralEyes 4 is a really great update to the fastest and most accurate synching software I’ve used, and well worth adding to your editor’s toolkit. You can even hit ‘Open in PluralEyes…’ if you want to send it out to the standalone app to work on it some more. There’s a handy tutorial over on the Red Giant site that talks you through how it works, but it’s as simple as selecting a sequence and hitting ‘Synchronise’ and then PluralEyes 4 will create a duplicate sequence of your newly synched media. The native sync abilities within Premiere have never seemed to work very well for me, or bring up a progress bar that’s too slow to bother with. SILVERSTACK XT TUTORIAL PDFOnly a few companies have taken advantage of this ability so far, ( PDF Viewer is one) and it’s great to see it happening more often. One of the other features I’m most excited about is the direct integration of PluralEyes synchronisation functionality into Premiere Pro via an extension panel. Try it for yourself for 14 days or 20 offloads for free. SILVERSTACK XT TUTORIAL MANUALThe manual is also very well written and easy to follow. If you want to know more about Silverstack it’s worth checking out the official Getting Started page here, which features lots of links to further info including a list of supported camera file formats, wherein unsurprisingly all the usual suspects are covered. But if I were a working DIT, I would snap up Silverstack XT in a heartbeat. Of course if price is a consideration then it’s worth noting that something like ShotPut Pro is 1/4 of the price, especially when combined with using DaVinci Resolve as a free dailies too. If you only need the app for a two week shoot for example you can snap up XT for only $69. An annual subscription to Silverstack is $399 and for the more full functional Silverstack XT, $599. There are two versions of Silverstack available at two different prices, operating on an annual, monthly or 14 day subscription model. The ability to see offload statistics, tag things in FCPX style smart folders, export metadata reports with thumbnails, handle CDL’s and LUTs, transcode (and add framelines at the same time) and many, many other things, make this the DIT app of choice, especially for anyone looking to do some heavy lifting on set. If I was doing more editorial prep work on-set, then I would absolutely upgrade to Silverstack XT for the far greater functionality across the board than you get in other apps. In the colour grading side of the app it’s nice to have the choice to switch back and forth between colour wheels and sliders with a click whilst working, although the wheels had a nice fine grain feel to them, whilst the slider adjustments felt a little heavy handed to me. In many ways the extra details adds a level of clarity, even to simple tasks like the offload process, because you have to think about what you’re doing, with a tiny bit more thoroughness, which helps you avoid making sloppy mistakes. If you’re used to a simple looking offload app interface, like ShotPut Pro or EditReady’s, then Silverstack’s more detailed configuration can appear a little daunting at first, but it’s actually extremely well thought out, with everything you need to see for the specific task at hand, available immediately.
