The pro player and LUT preview

DISKO ships its own professional playback engine, so the formats that make web apps and stock players give up play like normal files: ProRes (all flavors), DNxHD and DNxHR, CineForm, Sony XAVC in MXF, and the 10-bit HEVC that drones and mirrorless cameras record — plus every ordinary MP4, MOV, and MKV. Nothing extra to install.

The proprietary RAW codecs — RED R3D, Blackmagic BRAW, ARRIRAW, and Canon Cinema RAW Light — do not play natively, and that is not on us: the camera companies lock those formats down so tight that only the big boys get to pay for the privilege. R3D has an escape hatch: install RED's REDline tool and DISKO can convert clips for playback.

The good news: footage from those same cameras recorded as ProRes or XF-AVC plays perfectly, and RAW files are still first-class citizens in your library — thumbnails, metadata, tagging, and search all work.

Shot in log? DISKO detects the camera and log profile from metadata and applies the right conversion LUT automatically — S-Log3, V-Log, C-Log, RED, Blackmagic, ARRI, D-Log, GoPro flat profiles all have bundled LUTs. The preview renders in real time on the GPU and follows the video into fullscreen.
