Convert RAW to Rec.709
When Convert RAW to Rec.709
is enabled, FoolCat automatically detects and converts RAW clips shot in Log colorspace to Rec.709 colorspace. FoolCat performs the conversion based on the clip’s colorspace metadata and will ignore any viewing or creative LUTs encoded within the clip.

feature is currently only available in FoolCat for Mac.

Convert RAW to Rec.709
also works with some mxf
and mov
files, but not all (in which case, they will stay in their original colorspace). Use this feature at your discretion with mxf
and mov
files. Reach out if you encounter any issues.
