Pomfort Releases LiveGrade Pro Version 4 - Published on 04/18/18

Munich based Pomfort today releases LiveGrade Pro, a major upgrade to its industry leading software. LiveGrade Pro allows users to automatically capture and edit camera metadata live during the shoot. All camera metadata combined with the creative look information can be stored automatically in LiveGrade Pro's Shot Library. Version 4 of LiveGrade Pro makes live camera metadata available directly in the software and gives the production team even greater control over the live image on set.

Munich, Germany - Pomfort, a leading provider of professional software solutions for digital media assets and color management in motion picture and broadcast production, today released a major upgrade to its industry leading software LiveGrade Pro. The new version 4 of LiveGrade Pro for the first time makes live camera metadata available directly in the software and gives the production team even greater control over the live image on set.

LiveGrade Pro is the standard software for look management on set and beyond. With version 4 the software introduces an innovative and automated way for logging and organizing camera metadata.

LiveGrade Pro allows users to automatically capture and edit camera metadata live during the shoot. LiveGrade Pro extracts the extensive camera metadata information that is embedded in the HD-SDI outputs of professional cameras, such as the ARRI Alexa, Sony CineAlta, and Panasonic Varicam cameras, and displays it directly in the software. This allows DPs and DITs to always maintain consistency and stay in control, even in complex multi-camera setups.

All camera metadata combined with the creative look information can be stored automatically in LiveGrade Pro's Shot Library. The Shot Library contains all essential look and camera metadata organized by individual shots, including image references, color information and camera settings. This way a convenient and comprehensive documentation of the shooting day is created.

In addition, the ability to export all data from the Shot Library as shot reports and share them with the team makes it easy for DITs, DPs and second units to keep track of a all shot-related information throughout the shooting day.

LiveGrade Pro v4 furthermore adds a remarkable extension of live color grading controls, as native video scopes are now available. Users can now use different kinds of video scopes such as waveform, vectorscope, and histogram to judge image characteristics and determine any adjustments to camera settings that need to be made.

"Information exchange and communication on the film set are becoming increasingly important, as the complexity of film shoots constantly increases", says Patrick Renner, Product Manager at Pomfort. "Version 4 of LiveGrade Pro really puts the communicative aspect into focus, by integrating and consolidating data on the live image from various sources, and making it easily sharable amongst the team. Having one single source of information for all data related to the live image simplifies the maintaining of consistency across different units, and facilitates collaboration in the overall production process."

Features in LiveGrade Pro v4:
* Capturing and editing of live camera metadata from one or multiple cameras, that facilitates consistency and helps users stay in control of multi-camera setups.
* A comprehensive Shot Library that automatically stores all shot-related information combined with the creative look information.
* Shot reports that enable DPs, DITs and Second Units to easily keep track of all shot-related information throughout the shooting day.
* Native video scopes that assist users with judging image attributes such as exposure and white balance, and help controlling and adjusting a broad range of camera settings.

System Requirements:
* Intel Mac with Mac OS X 10.10 or higher (OS X 10.12 or higher recommended)

Pricing and Availability:
LiveGrade Pro v4 is available as a yearly subscription for USD 599 / EUR 529, or as a project license starting from USD 129 / EUR 109.
LiveGrade Pro can be purchased at Pomfort's web store or through Pomfort's authorized resellers worldwide. A 14-day free trial version is available for download.

ChronoSync Now Supports Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage - Published on 04/18/18

Florida based Econ Technologies today announced that ChronoSync owners can now use the highly desirable Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage service as another option for cloud backup. ChronoSync is the multipurpose app for local and cloud backup, bootable clones, and folder synchronizing. ChronoSync can synchronize or backup to most anything you can connect to your Mac, including folders on your Mac, other Macs, PC's, and external drives.

Casselberry, Florida - ChronoSync, the first choice for reliable Mac Backup, Bootable Backup and Folder Synchronization, now offers direct connections to the cost efficient B2 Cloud Storage service offered by Backblaze. So, in addition to Amazon S3, Google Cloud, and SFTP-based services, ChronoSync owners can now use the highly desirable Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage service as another option for cloud backup.

Duilio Proni, President of Econ Technologies, Inc. said "We wanted to make our B2 support robust and flexible. We make sure ChronoSync fully preserves all file attributes and metadata, including resource forks! Since ChronoSync is placing files up in B2 in a non-proprietary format, files can be accessed by any B2 Cloud Storage client."

"We are thrilled to have B2 supported as a storage destination by ChronoSync." said Backblaze Vice President of Marketing Ahin Thomas. "We've already heard from customers that are excited to benefit from ChronoSync's robust service while taking advantage of B2's performance and pricing. B2 Cloud Storage is 1/4 of the price of Amazon's S3 - customers using B2 as their storage destination are empowered to do more with their data without worrying about breaking the budget."

Besides new cloud service support, ChronoSync 4.8.6 sports additional backup efficiency, a new Dock Menu for quick access to frequently used windows and numerous tweaks along with a few bug fixes. The recently released macOS 10.13.4 update changed the way APFS volumes are initialized and mounted, resulting in additional tweaks to the ChronoSync Bootable Backup logic to continue our reliable APFS support.

Owners of ChronoSync can start using B2 Cloud Storage support free, with a simple download and update! If you don't already own ChronoSync, download today and start the 15-day free trial. Learn what it's like to receive significant new features free with each update by purchasing ChronoSync.

ChronoSync, the multipurpose app for local and cloud backup, bootable backup, and folder synchronizing, is designed to work on macOS version 10.10 and newer. Full working trial licenses are available or purchase ChronoSync for $49.99 (USD). ChronoSync's companion app, ChronoAgent, allows any Mac to accept direct, secure connections from any ChronoSync Mac or any InterConneX iOS device to access or transfer data! Full working trial licenses are available or purchase ChronoAgent for $14.99. ChronoMonitor is an iPhone app that monitorsMacs running ChronoSync or ChronoAgent. ChronoMonitor is available in the Apple App Store for $3.99.
