Other free tools
Useful software beyond the D-Cine.net projects
These are established tools worth knowing about when creating, checking or finishing content for cinema. Free and commercial options are labelled clearly.
Free and open source
DCP-o-matic
A focused digital-cinema toolkit for creating, checking and playing DCPs, generating KDMs and writing distribution media. It is a strong first choice for independent mastering and cinema technical work.
Free edition available
DaVinci Resolve
A broad post-production application combining editing, colour, visual effects, motion graphics and Fairlight audio. The free edition is unusually capable; Resolve Studio adds paid professional features.
Commercial professional tool
CLIPSTER 7
CineCert’s high-end mastering and quality-control platform for demanding DCP, IMF, HDR, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos workflows. It belongs here as a professional reference point rather than a free recommendation.
Test output against the requirements of your distributor, cinema or mastering facility before relying on any application for a critical delivery.
