Solid conversions, no surprises

UPDATE: App still chugging along, doing great for what we need. Couple of things: it will only make use of one core/processor — it’s not multithreaded yet, so conversions take time to perform. It’s worth the wait. Second: If you need to convert batches of files, spring for the $50 paid version. There’s a automator script floating around that makes use of the free version, but it made my Macs unstable. Buy the Batch-Enabled version. You’ll make that back with the first job you do with it.

We use this anytime there’s a Canon DSLR in the mix. The ProRes output from this little app outshines anything I’ve seen from FinalCut or AME. Our workflow was changed to accomodate the extra time needed to convert from the cameras’ h.264 to ProRes — it’s really THAT good!
