Workflow
Catalyst Browse
Catalyst Browse provides a quick in-field confidence check. Apply the appropriate color look from your Sony Pro camera for an instant, realistic view of what you've shot, so if you need to make adjustments and shoot again, you know that sooner than later. Check each file, review extensive metadata, and copy any clip to your computer drive.
Catalyst Prepare
With the powerful Catalyst Prepare media prep tools, view and back up your entire media image and then import and organize your clips into meaningful libraries. Make color adjustments, apply looks, set in/out points, establish multichannel audio assignments, and even cut together a rough edit. Then, access all of this work in Catalyst Edit and get on with the production.
Catalyst Edit
With Catalyst Edit you pick up right where you left off in Catalyst Prepare without dropping a frame or missing a beat. Together as the Catalyst Production Suite, they create a flowing integration that provides you with a seamless and fast workflow.
