• Expected results: Faster template editing, more parameter controls, stable playback.
  • Metrics: Responsiveness, compatibility with older templates.
  • One of the biggest headaches for editors mixing footage from different cameras—some Log, some HDR, some SDR—is now gone. Automatic Tone Mapping intelligently maps colors and luminance across clips with different color spaces.

  • Metrics: Time to perform common grade, GPU/CPU usage, frame playback smoothness.
  • Notes: Check compatibility with existing LUTs and Look presets.
