Open Cine has Phabricator development 
Phabricator is a suite of web-based software development collaboration tools, including the Differential code review tool, the Diffusion repository browser, the Herald change monitoring tool,[5] the Maniphest bug tracker and the Phriction wiki.[6] Phabricator integrates with Git, Mercurial, and Subversion. It is available as free software under the Apache License, version 2.
Phabricator was originally developed as an internal tool at Facebook.[7][8][9] Phabricator's principal developer is Evan Priestley.[1] Priestley left Facebook to continue Phabricator's development in a new company called Phacility.[2]

Open Cine Software - GitHub 2015

OPEN CINE - JUNE 2015









OpenCine has a GitHub repository :
GitHub is a web-based Git repository hosting service, which offers all of the distributed revision control and source code management (SCM) functionality of Git as well as adding its own features. Unlike Git, which is strictly a command-line tool, GitHub provides a web-based graphical interface and desktop as well as mobile integration. It also provides access control and several collaboration features such as wikis, task management, and bug tracking and feature requests for every project.[3]
GitHub offers both plans for private repositories and free accounts, which are usually used to host open-source software projects. As of 2015, GitHub reports having over 9 million users and over 21.1 million repositories,[4] making it the largest code hoster in the world.[5]

Open Cine June 2015




OPEN CINE 

RAW Video and Digital Negative processing and viewing suite


There are several free and open raw-image processing tools for still images like: ufraw, darktable, RawTherapee, Rawstudio, digiKam and many more. While some of them offer batch processing capabilities none of these tools are necessarily designed for moving pictures. Processing DNG sequences is cumbersome and time consuming, CinemaDNG MXF files are not yet supported at all.
This is where Open Cine should come in. It will be a raw processing tool designed from the ground up for moving images instead of still images.

Below is a very early reference of the kind of software being developed.




Due to this being an Open Source project then a lot of code is being written and developed. As OpenCine grows there is a GitHub web-based Git repository, explanation from Wikipedia below for those unfamiliar : 


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As OpenCine develops further there will be updates with new videos showing it in operation and working.

Processing the Axiom CDNG file

Major milestone reached! AXIOM Beta: Hello World! First raw still captured. 



Above you can see the downloaded RAW CinemaDNG file and above is a link to download the file to test yourselves.

To process the CDNG negative we decided to use Resolve from Blackmagic. The reason for this is that their own cameras record RAW files also as CDNG so already has the ability to manage and process this format and also allow some adjustments.

The CDNG file downloads as such below :


and through Resolve it will automatically mount the file and present it. The file will default to standard settings to make the image appear as above, CinemaDNG Default. 





We then selected the file and right clicked to select Edit Cinema DNG Codec Settings and selected clip and changed the Color Space and Gamma to BMDFilm :





From here we then can grade the image for final delivery :





It is worth noting this is just the very first test image and has some features missing that would be present in a final version from the Axiom release version, but it gives a reasonable demonstration of how the CDNG files would be processed and then  be available for full output to your dailies deliverables.

Axiom Beta Development April 2015

It has been a big year for Apertusº and their Axiom beta camera. As an Open Source camera system it has come more alive during this years NAB in Las Vegas and has now begun recording at 4K resolution for testing. Below is the team at NAB :


The development and continued research into this camera is very exciting and over the next few months we will be updating and blogging all the news as we come to it. Among the news is new CDNG files to play with, which we will be processing and testing, plus new developments for Open Cine software allowing for mounting and delivery of your RAW CDNG (Cinema DNG) files.




Above is an image of the Axiom beta build of which the test images have been recorded.

It is an exciting time and Open Source Cinema is arriving for 2015.
