QuickTime apps enable the viewing of Vision Research Phantom Cine movie files.
This review is centered around a set of professional VR Cine QuickTime Components, which makes working with raw data files from the Vision Research product line an absolute breeze. These components allow you to import and natively work with these files in any QuickTime-enabled application.
The Phantom Cine QuickTime Components take care of everything from importing, playback, de-bayer, white balancing, to color correction functions, making working with these files effortless. These components also make it possible for all applications that use Apple's QuickTime libraries to access all aspects of the Phantom Cine files. Applications ranging from Final Cut Pro, Adobe AfterEffects to iMovie, can import and play these files without any additional conversions or preprocessing steps.
An interesting feature of these components is that they don't require you to launch any programs or controls to use them, making them seamless to work with. QuickTime-enabled applications instantly recognize the Cine movie files as a new format to work with. Your Macintosh is also compatible with the files, just like QuickTime movies already available to the system. A simple single click on a Phantom Cine file in Finder, and you can see a thumbnail of the image.
The Phantom Cine QuickTime Toolkit currently supports several cameras, including Phantom 65, Phantom HD, v10, v9x, Miro series, and v7x cameras. However, earlier camera models are not supported. In addition, whenever the Phantom Cine QuickTime Toolkit is installed, you can do a "Get Info" on any Cine file and see which camera model created the Cine file.
As far as compatibility is concerned, the Phantom Cine QuickTime Toolkit will only open files with a ".cine" extension. Any files with ".cin" extension will be confused with the Cineon file format. If you're unable to open your Phantom Cine files, you should ensure that the extension is set correctly.
The VR Cine QuickTime Components are also smart enough to read and write 8-bit, 10-bit, 12-bit, and 14-bit Cine files, perform assorted color conversions upon request. In conclusion, the Phantom Cine QuickTime Components make it markedly easier to work with your Phantom Cine files, making your project a whole lot smoother. Enjoy!
