Who is using cineX suite?

“We can just fix what we need to fix without re-sending the file through QC.”

“Historically, if there was an issue, we would restart the whole process. Now, we just drop in the change.”

“We can offer our clients a better service because we can turn around last minute changes nearly instantly”

In order to activate your license and use cineX products with the Cinedeck license, you will need to be in Admin mode. If you are not able to be in Admin mode for licensing and usage, please purchase iLok Licensing.

Purchasing more than one license

If you’d like to purchase more than one license at time, please email sales[at]cinedeck.com

Purchase iLok Licenses

iLok licenses are still supported and can be purchased with the links below:

cineXsuite – 1yr subscription
cineXplugins – 1yr subscription – Prores
cineXplugins – 1yr subscription – DNxHD/HR
cineXplugins – 1yr subscription – XDCAM
cineXplugins – 1yr subscription – XAVC/AVC
cineXmeta – 1yr subscription

What's the difference between the licenses?

We’ve created our own licensing mechanism to make trial licenses simpler, but found that many customers prefer not to use iLok to keep their overall licensing simple. While there are limitations to the new licensing mechanism, there is a huge benefit to simplicity of use.

Does the new licensing support floating licenses?
No, floating licenses are not supported
Can the new license be moved from system to system?
No, the machine key that creates the license is unique so the license stays with the system
running the license
What happens if the computer dies and the license is not available?
Cinedeck will reissue a license on a case by case basis, not to exceed one re-issue per 1yr
subscription
Can the new license be used on a VM?
This is similar to the floating license question and the answer is no. Every time a VM is spun up, the machine ID would change. So, a new license would need to be issued.
How does the licensing mechanism work?
You can review how to activate your license here: cineX Suite Knowledge Base.

Technical Specifications

Supported Codecs

ProRes – all qualities (insert requires rewrap or ProRes PAD, see FAQ)
DNxHD / HR – all qualities
XAVC, class 300 and 400
AVC-I
XDCAM
JPEG2000
H.264* (needs to be cineX created)

Resolutions

SD, HD, 2K, UHD, 4K, 8K and beyond.

cinextools is resolutions independent. If you’re using a raster independent codec like ProRes, it can be any non-standard resolution.

Wrapper

MOV, OP1A MXF, OPATOM MXF, MP4

Colorspace

cineXtools support for Colorspace and bit depth depend entirely on the codec, but generally cineXtools supports YUV 8, YUV 10, RGB10 and RGB12.

On a related, but separate note, cineXtool supports HDR files, like ProRes XQ for insert, too. Like the insert support for codecs, cineXtools does colorspace conversions when inserting from source to target. So, a 10-frame RGB12 DPX sequence can be inserted to your YUV10 ProRes HQ file. For obvious reasons, we wouldn’t recommend you go from YUV8 to RGB12.

OS Requirements

macOS or Windows, check out the tech specs

Hardware Requirements

There are no minimum hardware requirements for cineXtools. However the faster / better your hardware, the faster your inserts and rewrap processes.

One important factor in the speed of cineXtools is where the file is located and network bandwidth. If your file is located on a busy network then the speed of insert and rewrap, particularly, may be slow. It’s always best to run cineXtools as “close” to your target file as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ and Getting Started

Is it available for both Mac and PC?

Yes, cineXtools is available for both Mac and PC. Both versions support the same features and have the same interface.There are no functional differences between the Mac and PC versions. Both versions support ProRes, as well.

Why do I need to rewrap ProRes for insert edit?

ProRes is a very common codec used to encode video files. Each frame gets compressed using a different amount of data and results in every frame being a slightly different size.

To do video inserts into a target file, each frame needs to be big enough for a maximum potential data overwrite.

The rewrap is a padding process and has no effect on the video essence and is very fast, much like a file copy.

Go here to learn more about the rewrap process.

Can you export insertable ProRes from an NLE?

We partnered with various non-linear video editing software providers to develop ProRes Export Plugins, software components that make delivering ProRes files simpler.

As a result, you can export an ‘insertable’ Padded ProRes file straight from the NLE of your choice for free. You only need to purchase a license in order to insert into files from your NLE.

Does cineXtools work in virtual machine environments?

Running cineXtools under virtual machines (VMs) is neither tested extensively nor officially supported but we evaluate it on a case by case basis. If you are interested in deploying CineXtools in a VM environment, please reach out to [email protected].
