Hi all

Can anyone confirm if pd19 ultra supports HDR10 import, it says it does on the cyberlink comparison section, however i watched a youtube review from a well known Cyberlink review channel and he had ultra listed as NOT supporting HDR10 import

Also i am just viewing the ultra vs ultimate comparison page and most of the extra features in ultimate i don`t think i would use, however 2 stand out that i am unfamiliar with, which is the .mxf import and the .mov apple pro res import, can anyone tell me which devices record in these formats

Thanks James

Between Ultra and Ultimate, the program itself is the same. Ultimate just includes more feature packs.

Unfortunately that statement is just false. Many differences in native PD features, not just feature packs. For instance:
1) no Timeline preview volume (dB) meter
2) no Audio scrubbing
3) no Shape Designer
4) multiple import of various video file formats not supported
5) just to list a few, CL site will compare

I can't confirm, but as you state, per feature list it implies import of HDR10 supported.

Canon XC10, Sony Z190, a couple cameras that create *.MXF file types. Most Blackmagic cameras can support ProRes recording.

Starting with PD18, the Ultra does not have the features in the Ultimate editions. See this comparison list: https://www.cyberlink.com/products/video-photo-editor-combo/comparison_en_US.html .Attached is a screenshot showing HDR10 import not supported in the Ultra edition along with many others.

EDIT: The specs page show in Format and Device Support/ Video File (import)/ ▪ HDR (HEVC HDR10 & HLG) NEW , but that only applies to the PD365.
