A big day for us has arrived - we want to put First Light in the hands of a few Alpha testers later today! For now it's Windows only. The Mac version isn't too far behind.
A screen capture is shown. For those of you familiar with Lightroom you'll notice some similarities. But the difference is that the metadata in CineForm files stays with the file whereas in Lightroom you have to export the "flattened" images before they're usable elsewhere.
The requirements for Alpha testers are relatively simple:
1. You have some working knowledge of or desire to learn about Active Metadata
2. You have a few hours to invest in playing with First Light this weekend and are willing to give us written feedback.
3. You don't mind playing with Alpha software
Despite the latter requirement First Light is in pretty good shape, but customers always find some things that we haven't found internally.
You can read more about Active Metadata here: Active Metadata Overview (http://www.cineform.com/products/TechNotes/ActiveMetadata.htm).
If you're interested please send an email to tbucklin at cineform dot com. He'll be coordinating the Alpha testers and will also be sending out the software and instructions later today.
