Essential Apps Every Film Editor Should OwnĮvery now and then it’s helpful to reconsider your workflow and see if there’s a better way of doing things. In writing this post I was seeking to share some apps that I make use of on a regular basis and a little of the workflow in how I do. In the process I’ve even come to discover that apps I was using by default may no longer be needed, as some of the same functionality is now found in Edit Ready. That said, I’ll still continue to use specific apps for specific parts of the workflow as they tend to do that one thing, very, very well. I hope you’ll find that some of these apps could save you a lot of time, energy and effort when put to work in your edit suite. With many of these apps, there are many other ways – often free ways – of achieving the same results. ![]() But, as so often in life, you get what you pay for and so for professional results, you often need to use a professional tool. Edit Ready 1.2Įdit Ready, from Divergent Media, is an extremely fast and effective transcoding tool that gets your footage ‘edit ready’ within a few clicks. Edit Ready is Clip Wrap (that amusing moustachioed friend), all grown up and loaded with more features. Previously one of the great benefits of Clip Wrap was that you could rewrap your footage, changing the container format without transcoding the contents in a jiffy – a much faster process than transforming your footage from one codec into another. One of the things that makes Edit Ready so fast is that it’s been rebuilt from the ground up (Clip Wrap was originally released nearly seven years ago) to take advantage of GPU processing and to handle more modern codecs like AVCHD, Pro Res, DNxHD and ubiquitous container formats such as MXF, M2T (HDV), MTS (AVCHD). You can even add 3DL and Cube LUTS to your footage, the extra work of which does of course slow the transcoding process a bit, to create one-light dailies or deliverables. You can find more details about this and all the other features in their online manual. If you want to give Edit Ready a try for yourself, you can download a trial version which is limited to the first minute of any clip. If any package is missing, one can install it manually (or better automatically, as MikTeX).īoth of these applications allow installation of packages, neither is automatic.Edit Ready costs $49.99, if you’re a Clip Wrap user you should enquire about the cheaper cross-grade price of $29.95. Both come with the LaTeX format, TeX Writer also includes a plain TeX format. TeXPad is based on KerTeX about which I know very little.īut with that taken into account - and with the knowledge that they are both in their infancy - it is now possible to compile documents directly on an iPad with no internet connection. ![]() So anything that uses the e-TeX extensions does not currently compile (nor XeTeX nor LuaTeX). TeX Writer currently uses unadulterated TeX, meaning that it doesn't have the e-TeX extensions and produces DVI (which it then converts to PDF). One of those is TeX Writer, the other is TeXPad. There are (at time of writing) two iPad applications that can compile a tex document on the iPad without needing internet connectivity. Taking the "any" at face value, the answer is "Not yet". One can produce (compile successfully) from any. I'll highlight a couple of points directly related to your question. I'm not going to reproduce my blog post (already linked in the question) as it is still relevant. Check it out and let us have your feedback via 'Contact Us' form on. In addition all the fonts plus latex and bibtex packages are downloadable using the Bundle Manager in Texpad now. If you have any further questions, email us at Tikz and beamer are now working in 1.5 and later releases. In addition to the onboard typesetter, we still provide free cloud typesetting servers with the entirety of TexLive 2012 installed. PGF drivers are underway right now and the update with local TikZ/Beamer typesetting should be ready for download in February. Most commonly used LaTeX packages are now included, and we expand the distribution with every update (9 updates in the past three months), and it is now so good that one user edits LaTeX on his Mac and typesets on his iPhone because the distribution is leaner, simpler and faster. Texpad for iOS has had a built in LaTeX typesetter, no internet connection required. The answer is yes - you can do this on the iPad with Texpad.
