Summary
Dolby Vision Professional Tools is a command-line suite for processing and quality control in Dolby Vision post-production. Its workflows help content creators prepare HDR and SDR deliverables intended to maintain consistent presentation on HDR and legacy SDR devices. Metafier manages, edits, and verifies XML metadata; CM Offline renders Rec. 709 and other deliverables; Mezzinator creates Dolby Vision mezzanines; and CM Analyze makes shot- or frame-based analysis metadata from HDR10 files, including MaxFLL and MaxCLL values for Dolby Vision XML. Masters can be exported as image sequences with XML metadata, or as IMF packages or J2K mezzanines with interleaved metadata. Dolby says analysis metadata creation is included at no charge in many professional grading and mastering systems. The tools are available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Command-line tools are free; the Trims License costs 1000.00 USD as a one-time purchase and enables artistic trim controls for home and cinema targets. Partner feature support and possible extra costs vary, so Dolby advises checking with each partner.
