Everything is a subscription 👹 now, not only do we pay a hefty price for cameras, Sony's in particular, but now Sony wants more money from us 🥀🌸CREATORS🌷 to use all the camera's features in post. And of course it is a subscription 👹, what else!
I present to you 🙌Catalyst Prepare Plug-in🙌, 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 👹 plan for $99/year (at the moment, I'll bet you it will increase way faster than inflation):
Brought to you by Sony 💪uber functional😵 🙌Imagine Edge Software Division🙌 . I would not touch this 💩 with a yard long stick. But we Sony offer you this gift, oh revered 🥀🌸CREATOR🌷.
The Free features of this 🙌amazing🙌 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 👆 yourself SUBSCRIPTION 👹 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 👹. 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 🥀🌸CREATORS'🌷 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: 👆 yourself losers, it's Premiere or nothing. We Sony tell you 🦌Dear 🥀🌸CREATORS🌷 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.👆.C.K Y.👆.U. 🦌🦌🦌Dear, Dear 🥀🌸CREATOR🌷.
All The Best, Have fun with our cameras!
Now we want to take over post.
