CodecCrunch V2 is a complete overhaul that makes the app much more useful with a new Interface and supporting more formats.. CodecCrunch V2 provides professional-grade conversion for ProRAW and ProRes workflows, giving you a bit more control over your creative assets. ProRAW Optimization: Convert ProRAW images to HEIF while preserving hardware-original tone mapping, ensuring your creative edits remain entirely intact. For ultimate flexibility, you can optionally strip native tone mapping, sharpness, clarity, and metadata to work with a truly clean file. ProRes Video Processing: Seamlessly transcode ProRes footage to Rec.709 (SDR) or HEVC (10-bit HDR) while maintaining the full dynamic range of your source media. Supported video outputs include HEVC 8-bit SDR, HEVC 10-bit HDR, and tone-mapped ProRes Rec.709. More Formats: Take advantage of optional support for JPEG XL, available in both Lossless HDR and Lossy HDR configurations for ProRAW media. New: WebP SDR/HDR Lastly, ....Streamlined Export: Convert photos and videos directly from the native Photos app. Route your processed files to a dedicated CodecCrunch Album, the Files app, or directly to connected external SSDs. CodecCrunch runs on iOS, iPadOS & macOS and supports on iPadOS & macOS also drag'n drop of images.
