Catalyst Browse

Catalyst Browse is an application designed to help Sony cameras users and not only open, playback, enhance, view metadata, edit, convert and transfer the videos and photos they take from the media storage to the desired folder on their computer.

Following a straightforward setup, you are prompted to log in with your account to use the app. In case you do not have one, then you can easily create one directly from the interface. Once you open the app, you can browse through the directories of your local or external drives to preview and tweak your media files.

It is worth mentioning that the app displays the videos and images with thumbnails, so you can easily find the one you want to process. Moreover, you can drag and drop files between your computer and any connected devices to transfer them from one location to another. Alternatively, you can use the Fast Copy function to grab the desired data on the media storage just as quickly.

In addition to providing you with a quick means to transfer media files between devices, the program enables you to check out the metadata. In case you want to modify something due to errors beyond your control, then the tool enables you to edit the metadata or repair flash band problems that commonly result from the wrong flash tool.

The utility also allows you to view the details of each clip, check focus, marking and out point as well as adjust the colors. Enhancing the color palette, in this case, entails that you can actually preview videos and photos with the full-color range shot specific to some of the Sony digital camera models. It goes without saying that you can make various corrections before you export the new file to a standard ASC-CDL file format.

If you enjoy shooting with your digital camera and are looking for a tool that can help you explore, inspect and process the clips and images you are shooting throughout the day or during your vacations, then perhaps Catalyst Browse might be worth a try.
