GoPro Studio 2.5 User Manual
Using its Active Metadata™ architecture CineForm extends traditional codec-only capability into a full-featured image development subsystem,
including:
• Combining “active” processing of decoded images with metadata based on user-established rules. Active processing allows non-
destructive image development including color (White Balance, color matrix, 3D LUTs, etc.), 3D editorial and playback, stream-specific
information and framing controls
• Metadata storage is inside the video essence within user data fields compatible with AVI/MOV files
• Active Metadata is compatible with all CineForm file types: 10-bit YUV, 12-bit RGB, 12-bit RAW and stereo (3D)
• Cross-platform (Win/Mac) and cross-applications compatibility. Active Metadata is transparent to a calling application because all Active
Metadata processing occurs within the CineForm Image Development Subsystem, prior to presenting the images to the calling application.
When a CineForm AVI or MOV file is created, active and/or passive metadata may be inserted into the file. In all cases a Globally Unique Identifier
(GUID) is inserted into the file, plus the encoder curve used when the file was created. If available, Timecode is written into a Passive Metadata
field.
The GUID provides a lookup address into the CineForm Active Metadata Database file used during playback.
The encoder curve is included to establish the inverse curve necessary to return to linear light upon decode.
