Everything Is A Subscription ๐Ÿ‘น Now, Including My Services As An Editor. I'm Looking At You Sony.

 Everything is a subscription ๐Ÿ‘น  now, not only do we pay a hefty price for cameras, Sony's in particular, but now Sony wants more money from us ๐Ÿฅ€๐ŸŒธCREATORS๐ŸŒท to use all the camera's features in post. And of course it is a subscription ๐Ÿ‘น, what else!

I present to you ๐Ÿ™ŒCatalyst Prepare Plug-in๐Ÿ™Œ, a free crippled plug-in for (crippled) Sony cameras - I kid you not. Or if you fork additional extortion money, a (semi) full (semi) featured (kind of) plug-in on a subscription ๐Ÿ‘น plan for $99/year (at the moment, I'll bet you it will increase way faster than inflation):

The price for the rip-off annual plan is determined by the rabbit in the hat, and by the way, we can cripple the software any time you won't see your money back. So long suck3r! Err, we meant to say: ๐ŸฆŒDear ๐Ÿฅ€๐ŸŒธCREATOR๐ŸŒท!

Brought to you by Sony ๐Ÿ’ชuber functional๐Ÿ˜ต ๐Ÿ™ŒImagine Edge Software Division๐Ÿ™Œ . I would not touch this ๐Ÿ’ฉ with a yard long stick. But we Sony offer you this gift, oh revered ๐Ÿฅ€๐ŸŒธCREATOR๐ŸŒท.

The Free features of this ๐Ÿ™Œamazing๐Ÿ™Œ plug-in are as follow:

1) Color Adjustment (Exposure Index, LUT, ISO.)

2) Importing Shots Marks

3) Importing OK/NG/KEEP Flags.

The give me rent money or go ๐Ÿ‘† yourself SUBSCRIPTION ๐Ÿ‘น ONLY features are:

1) Image stabilization and Lens Breathing Compensation. (Not supported by any cameras at the moment.)

You see there is a WATERMARK HERE if you wish not to pay for the subscription ๐Ÿ‘น. Really, really we do care.

Whoa! I'm floored! Wonderful! Delicious! Oh! So pretty Sony!

Hmmmm. Hard sell Sony. Nixing in-camera IS and in-camera BC for what? More work later in post?

OK basically Sony wants ๐Ÿฅ€๐ŸŒธCREATORS'๐ŸŒท money for features every single NLE already have, and for the privilege of using a newer (crippled) Sony camera and for doing in post what other cams do in the box.

 Yo! IS and BC are available in post man!

 Not a feature Sony. Bad premises Sony. Going backward Sony. 

Only available for Premiere Pro, how about FCP? Avid MC? Resolve? Everything else? Uh?, as of now it's: ๐Ÿ‘† yourself losers, it's Premiere or nothing. We Sony tell you ๐ŸฆŒDear ๐Ÿฅ€๐ŸŒธCREATORS๐ŸŒท what to use, not the other way around.

Not looking forward to the future according to Sony.

Hey Mr Sony, how about interchangeability in post? I guess whomever bleeds for the subscription first (hey dude I bought this cool cam, look, shit I need to pay more dough to actually use all these cool features... OK I'm a suck3r already, here is more $ Sony), will have to convert all the footage with baked-in IS and lens BC. Actually it doesn't even deliver the BC part, that's for later, but we'll take your money now anyway, cause you know, F.๐Ÿ‘†.C.K Y.๐Ÿ‘†.U. ๐ŸฆŒ๐ŸฆŒ๐ŸฆŒDear, Dear ๐Ÿฅ€๐ŸŒธCREATOR๐ŸŒท.

All The Best, Have fun with our cameras!

Now we want to take over post.
