FCP plug-in for digital releases
In yet another example of the democratization of tools, indie filmmakers can now make Digital Cinema Packages (DCP's) using a $700 plug-in to Apple's Final Cut Pro editing software.
Available at Qube Cinema's web store, the DCP mastering plug-in lets post houses and content creators output DCI-compliant DCP masters directly from the Final Cut Compressor.
The system, called QubeMaster Xport, it is available in four versions. QubeMaster Xport 2K retails for $799. QubeMaster Xport 3D and QubeMaster Xport 4K are available for $1,798 each. Users who need both stereo 3D and 4K mastering, can opt for QubeMaster Xport 4K and 3D at $2,797.
Individual modules can be added after the initial purchase for $999 each. A fully functioning watermarked demo is available for download, allowing users to test out the software.
