Full Release Notes
At EVRapp, we believe creating something exceptional comes from quality components and a touch of innovation.
evrExpanse is a smart batch processing tool designed for metadata management. It lets you extract and seamlessly import metadata into NLEs, securely transfer data, and transcode media files while embedding metadata into the final files.
evrExpanse 5 introduces key upgrades to simplify your video workflows. Smart LUT Finder and 3D LUT Application automate color grading by applying LUTs based on metadata or custom settings. You can now burn 3D LUTs directly into transcoded files, match LUTs from media folders, or apply custom LUTs across projects. The enhanced FCPXML Metadata Integration allows imported metadata to be fully searchable and used for Smart Collections in Final Cut Pro, giving FCP users advanced metadata handling similar to DaVinci Resolve. With improved metadata support, batch processing, and secure offloading, evrExpanse 5 boosts productivity for video professionals.
evrExpanse offers the perfect blend of simplicity and sophistication with its interface design. All the essential tools and settings you need are concentrated in just two windows:
This streamlined approach ensures that everything is immediately accessible and under your direct control, eliminating the need to dive into remote menus or sub-menus.
Experience a user interface that enhances productivity without compromising on professional capabilities. evrExpanse ensures that powerful features are easily accessible, making your media management and post-production tasks smoother than ever.
Extract metadata from cameras and file formats like MOV, MP4, MXF, MKV, and NEV, and seamlessly import it into NLEs such as Final Cut Pro®, DaVinci Resolve®, Assimilate SCRATCH®, Avid Media Composer®, and Pomfort Silverstack®.
Transcode multimedia files (MOV, MP4, MXF, MKV, GoPro .360) to intermediate codecs like ProRes®, DNxHR®, GoPro CineForm®, DPX®, and OpenEXR®. Retain metadata and Finder Tags, and generate HEVC (H.265) proxies while preserving embedded metadata.
Ensure secure and reliable data transfer using xxh64 hash for backup and streamlined processing.
Process Plus© combines transcoding and metadata export, or offloading and metadata export into a single step. Seamlessly transcode or offload files while exporting metadata for direct import into NLEs, enhancing efficiency across Final Cut Pro®, DaVinci Resolve®, and SCRATCH.
This safeguard alerts users to zero-byte files during offloading, transcoding, or metadata export, preventing data corruption and ensuring workflow integrity.
evrExpanse supports the creation of ASC MHL files, tracking media integrity and providing chain-of-custody verification for production, archiving, and data exchange. Sealing with MHL v1 is also supported during Metadata Export, Transcoding, and Offload processes.
Release notes for the latest version
Metadata Export has always been a crucial part of ensuring a seamless workflow in post-production by extracting and converting media file metadata into a format compatible with various NLEs. This includes vital technical data like camera settings, timecode, frame rate, resolution, color space, and gamma. In evrExpanse 5, this process is now more powerful than ever, making metadata not only consistent across tools but also fully searchable and ready for advanced organizational features like Smart Collections in Final Cut Pro.
With the introduction of version 5, metadata imported through evrExpanse is now fully searchable and can be used to create Smart Collections in Final Cut Pro. This game-changing feature brings unparalleled flexibility and organization to your FCP workflow. FCP users can now leverage imported metadata to streamline their editing process like never before—making it easier to manage large projects and find exactly what they need within seconds. Smart Collections enable a dynamic, metadata-driven way to work with your media, turning evrExpanse into an indispensable tool for FCP editors.

Zero-Byte File Detection: Detect zero-byte files before the exporting process.
The metadata export engine in evrExpanse is highly efficient, dramatically accelerating the export process while supporting a wide range of metadata tags for comprehensive output.
evrExpanse simplifies metadata extraction by recognising different camera types and standardising metadata tags for export to NLEs like DaVinci Resolve©, Final Cut Pro©, Assimilate SCRATCH©, Avid Media Composer©, and Pomfort Silverstack©.
evrExpanse’s enhanced FCPXML export now brings a new level of usability to Final Cut Pro. Imported metadata is fully searchable within the FCP browser, and it can be used to create Smart Collections, making media organization and retrieval faster and more intuitive. With evrExpanse 5, your metadata isn’t just a static piece of information; it becomes an active part of your editing process, enabling smarter workflows and efficient project management. Now, Final Cut Pro matches DaVinci Resolve’s ability to search and organize metadata, significantly improving workflow for FCP editors.
Available in FCPXML v1.9 and FCPXMLD v1.10-1.12 formats, media metadata is inherited across the event or timeline, allowing for a streamlined metadata workflow in FCP.
evrExpanse supports enhanced metadata export for Nikon RAW (.NEV) files. You can export and manage metadata for Nikon RAW footage and seamlessly integrate it into DaVinci Resolve, which may not inherently read Nikon metadata, ensuring organized projects.
Assimilate SCRATCH integration allows automatic import of source file, camera metadata, and user metadata from evrExpanse for further analysis in post-production.
The free ASC MHL evrToolbox tool helps verify the integrity of media files by comparing hashes with previous MHL files and checking for file system discrepancies, ensuring accuracy and reliability in ASC MHL-compliant workflows.
Transcode any MOV / MP4 / MXF / MKV / GoPro .360 media files to intermediate codecs such as Apple ProRes, Avid DNxHR, GoPro CineForm, DPX, OpenEXR and HEVC (H.265)). This process embeds the original metadata and Finder tags (keywords and colors) into the transcoded files, ensuring seamless integration and metadata retention.
evrExpanse 5 brings a host of powerful new features to streamline your video workflow. The standout additions include 3D LUT Application and Smart LUT Finder, which automate the color grading process by applying LUTs based on metadata or custom selections. Now, you can burn 3D LUTs directly into transcoded files, automatically match sidecar LUTs from the same media folder, or use LUTs from a custom folder for precision and consistency.
