We’re excited to announce that ScopeBox 3.1 is now available. This update adds a variety of new features and enhancements to existing features.
One of the most requested features in ScopeBox has been the ability to apply LUTs to sources. ScopeBox 3.1 adds support for 3dl and Cube (1d and 3d) LUTs. Now you can easily apply a Log to Linear conversion, colorspace transform, or visual style to your source.

We’ve recently released ClipWrap 2.5.8, which includes some enhancements for workflows that involve Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.
If your workflow involves using rewrapped files inside Premiere Pro CS6, there’s a tweak you can make to ClipWrap which will enhance performance even further.
Open Terminal (in the Utilities folder, inside Applications) and run this command:
defaults write -app clipwrap iMovieAVCHD YES
After executing that, files rewrapped by ClipWrap will have much faster thumbnail indexing in Premiere, and much more fluid timeline skimming.
If you ever need to disable this feature (it can cause glitches when using files in versions of Final Cut Pro X prior to 10.0.5) run this command:
defaults write -app clipwrap iMovieAVCHD NO
After a busy week ironing out issues for the Mac App Store, we’re releasing our first update targeting both App Store and direct customers. Check out what’s new, and how we plan to deploy updates to App Store and direct customers going forward.
ClipWrap 2.5.8 changes the way we format rewrapped AVCHD files
We’ve been hard at work over the past few months readying ClipWrap for sale in Apple’s Mac App Store, and as a current customer, we wanted to let you know that it’s now available. To celebrate, we’re offering a deal for current customers.
If you’ve upgraded to OS X 10.8 (“Mountain Lion”), you’ve probably noticed that AVCHD content is handled a bit differently than in previous versions of OS X. Depending on your workflow, this may require that you change your process a bit when working with ClipWrap. This post will walk you through those changes.
Until recently, audio in the digital video world was about as simple as can be. Whether you were shooting DV or DigiBeta, DVCProHD or Digital8, you were recording your audio as something called Linear PCM. As with everything else in this mixed up, modern world, things have gotten a bit more complicated. This blog post will introduce you to the exciting world of digital audio.
A few weeks ago I made shout-out to the Humanæ Project (http://humanae.tumblr.com) on our podcast. In the artist Angelica Dass’ own words: “The project development is based on a series of portraits whose background is dyed
with the exact Pantone® tone extracted from a sample of 11×11 pixels of the portrayed’s face. The project’s objective is to record and catalog all possible human skin tones.”
I decided to dig into these images in ScopeBox… and was surprised by what I found.
Today we released ScopeBox 3.0.2. In addition to support for Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and the new retina Macbook Pro, we’ve rolled in some major performance increases and tweaks across the board. We’ve got many more exciting updates in the pipeline, so stay tuned!
If you’ve already got ScopeBox on your system, select “check for updates” under the ScopeBox menu. Or just download a fresh copy.
Features
We’ve just release ClipWrap 2.5.3. The full release notes are available below.
ClipWrap 2.5.3 only runs on Intel Macs running Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8. We’ve made made this switch in order to support the Gatekeeper function within Mac OS X 10.8 (“Mountain Lion”). Without making this change, users on the newest release of Mac OS X would be unable to run ClipWrap with the default security policy.
In spite of this change, we still fully support our PowerPC and Mac OS X 10.5 users. The previous release of ClipWrap, 2.5.2, remains available for download from our trial page and support will be more than happy to assist with any questions.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
ClipWrap v2.5.3 is a maintenance release, primarily intended to provide support for Mac OS X 10.8 (“Mountain Lion”)
