Piranha

Piranha is a comprehensive piece of software that allows you to enhance and post-process your high-quality multimedia content using professional level tools and effects.

The setup is quick, uneventful and does not require any special attention from your part. While the program comes with a sleek and fresh interface, you should know that the UI cannot be resized, an option that can be bothersome when you are working on a smaller monitor.

It is worth mentioning that the application integrates a timeline that enables you to check out all modifications, layer-based compositing, painting, color corrections and other adjustments you made. Considering that they are all displayed in a single timeline, it means that you no longer need to switch between tabs or applications to figure out which effect you want to eliminate or what layer you want to duplicate, for example.

The idea behind the program is to allow you to enhance Ultra HD multimedia files and consequentially, you will be happy to learn that it supports a plethora of file formats. Among the file formats you can tweak via the utility, you can count Cinema DNG, YUV RAW, Targa, TGA, Portable Pixmap PPM. DPX, hardware J2k and Red Rocket Hardware Playback, just to name a few.

At the same time, you should know that the application allows you to view and correct stereo content using numerous 3D displays. In other words, if you decided to convert a video featuring audio, then you can alter the 2D content fast and creatively. As far as the color correction is concerned, it is enough to say that you can change primary and secondary color effects per layer.

In the eventuality that you need to edit or render images and videos of 4k, 8k or other Ultra HD quality without too much hassle, then perhaps Piranha could come in handy.
