and open LightPost. You can use the Add Clips to Library option
to view footage directly from the camera without copying it rst.
The Organize Room
In the Organize Room, you can view your imported clips, make
notes in clip metatdata for the editor, rate your takes on a 1-5
star system, set in/out points, and arrange your clips into smart
folders and custom folders.
The Color Room
Fast color controls allow you to create and save one-light looks
for your clips which can be shared with other users of LightPost.
Change attributes like tint, saturation, exposure, sharpness,
color temperature, highlight and shadow color balance, and
others to achieve great looks in seconds.
Export Room
Like the Copy Room, here you can quickly output your footage
to multiple destinations one at a time or at once. Choose from
editing formats like ProRes422 or ProRes4444, or exhibition
formats standard for iPad, iPhone, and more.
Detailed Instructions
Detailed instructions for LightPost are available by accessing

Other Post Workow Options
While some NLE (Non-Linear Editing) platforms require you to
use compressed video formats such as ProRes422 for editing,
it is not always necessary to transcode your footage before you
work with it in post.
Newer NLEs like the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite allow you to
import raw CinemaDNG image sequences directly into your
timeline for editing, making your post workow a breeze.
Users of Adobe Premiere Pro CC, After Effects CS6 or CC,
or SpeedGrade CC do not need to transcode CinemaDNG
footage before using it in a timeline.
If you have recorded audio on the D16, you will need to import
the .AIFF audio track separately from your CinemaDNG image
sequence. They will both have the same length on the timeline
and can be easily linked together for editing.
Transcoding for Windows and Linux Users
Windows and Linux users will have to use an alternative method
to transcode their footage, since LightPost is only available for
Mac OS X. We suggest using an Adobe Creative Cloud program
like Premiere or LightRoom, or the latest version of DaVinci
Resolve to transcode from CinemaDNG les to compressed
video on a Windows or Linux system.
