Phantom Cine QuickTime Toolkit 2.0.7

You will be able to view any Vision Research Phantom Cine movie file with QuickTime apps.
This is a set of professional VR Cine QuickTime Components that will let you work with the raw data files from the Vision Research product line. These components allow you to import and work with these files, natively, in any QuickTime enabled application.

The Phantom Cine QuickTime Components will perform all of the importing, playback, de-bayer, white balancing, and color correction functions to the movie. All applications that use Apple's QuickTime libraries can access all aspects of the Phantom Cine files. Applications ranging from Final Cut Pro, Adobe AfterEffects right down to iMovie, can import and play these files without any sort of conversion or preprocessing steps.

There are no direct "controls" or programs to launch in order to use these components. Your QuickTime enabled applications will simply "recognize" the Cine movie files as another movie format that can be used. Your Macintosh will also be "aware" of the files, much the same way QuickTime movies are already available to the system. Simply single-clicking on a Phantom Cine file in Finder, allows you to see a thumbnail of the image, for instance.

The Phantom Cine QuickTime Toolkit currently supports the following cameras: Phantom 65, Phantom HD, v10, v9x, Miro series, and v7x cameras. Earlier camera models are not supported. When the Phantom Cine QuickTime Toolkit is installed, you can do a "Get Info" on Cine file, and see which camera model created the Cine file.

The Phantom Cine QuickTime Toolkit will only open files with a ".cine" extension. Files with a ".cin" extension will be confused with the Cineon file format. If you can't open your Phantom Cine files, check to see that the extension is set properly.

The components are currently able to read and write 8-bit, 10-bit, 12-bit, and 14-bit Cine files. The software can perform assorted color conversions if desired. Enjoy!
