See it, don't decode it
One idea runs through the whole app: you should understand your session at a glance — while you set it up, while it runs, and when it's done — before you ever open a detailed report. Each block expands when active and collapses when idle, so the window only ever shows what's relevant. The border is the progress bar — a gradient runs left to right as files are processed, green at the origin, yellow at the leading edge.
Click blocks to expand, run a simulated session, and explore Preferences. [ Open in a floating window ↗ ]
Use one, two, or all three. When chained, each stage feeds the next automatically: transcode reads from the offload destination, export reads from the transcode output. No manual re-pointing between steps.
Two progress indicators work together. Each block's animated border tracks that single stage, while the bar in the bottom toolbar represents the whole session — spanning every selected workflow in the chain, so you always see overall progress at a glance.
At the end of every session — completed, cancelled, or partial — one sheet collects file counts, elapsed time, and verification status per destination, with direct access to output folders and logs.
New in 7 — the Session Report. Every session is also saved as one consolidated report: its composition, global status, and per-stage, per-destination results in a single view. Browse past sessions by day and drill down to a single transfer report — all inside the app, without rebuilding the individual process logs. See it live ↗
Your shooting metadata · in every format
evrExpanse reads each clip's shooting metadata — color science, gamma, exposure, white balance, lens — straight from the camera, then writes it into every enabled format in the same pass. No library to populate, no manual extraction, no re-exporting the same footage once per editing system.
Full camera metadata mapping. Keywords and Flags carried over from Finder Tags. The selected timecode is written as the native clip timecode for video and photos, enabling multicam synchronisation by time of day.
FCPXML 1.9 and FCPXMLD 1.10–1.14. Dedicated evrExpanse metadata view; Smart Collections supported. Video clips receive the selected timecode as their native Start timecode, usable for multicam synchronisation.
Configurable format, FPS, and bin name. Clips matched by timecode and clip name.
Drylab CSV. Matched by clip name and creation date. Camera, lens, and comments included.
Sent to the Watch Folder automatically on completion; a local copy is kept for reference.
Real-Time Metadata, sampled per frame, for Sony production workflows.
The full field set in one file. Doubles as the source for Apply Finder Tags.
Pulls embedded 3D LUTs from Kinefinity, ARRI, and McPRO24fps media.
Offload
Media is copied to one primary destination and up to three more — as fast as your storage allows. Then every file is verified by reading its actual content with a full xxh64 hash, never by file size or modification date.
Few options, and the ones that matter most are fixed at maximum rigor: verification always reads full content, and there's no setting that quietly makes a transfer less safe. If a file already exists at the destination, a full hash comparison runs. On a mismatch you choose the behavior: rename the incoming copy, or stop immediately to keep filenames untouched.
Transfers run as fast as your storage allows — then every file is checked by reading its actual content with a full xxh64 hash, end to end. No size-and-date shortcuts that can pass off a corrupt copy as "verified."
Seal processed folders with ASC MHL or MHL v1 at the end of the offload. evrExpanse checks for existing manifests and logs any discrepancy against the history.
When o/PARASHOOT is installed, evrExpanse hands off automatically after a fully verified offload, provided the source is the card's root volume.
Direct Attached Storage is recommended for best performance. NAS is supported.
Transcode
evrExpanse looks at each file before deciding what to do with it — so it never re-encodes footage that's already in a delivery codec.
ProRes, DNxHR, and CineForm video with PCM audio passes through untouched. Everything else is transcoded to your target codec.
Changes the container without touching the streams, embedding XMP for Premiere Pro. Output is MOV — MP4 sources stay MP4.
Codec, bitrate, audio format, downscale profile, and LUT — every file re-encoded to your settings.
| Output | Profiles | Acceleration |
|---|---|---|
| Apple ProRes | Proxy · LT · 422 · 422 HQ · 4444 · 4444 XQ | Hardware · VideoToolbox |
| Avid DNxHR | LB · SQ · HQ · HQX · 444 · 444 RGB | CPU |
| GoPro CineForm | low → film3+ · RGB 444 | CPU |
| HEVC / H.265 | Auto High / Medium / Low · Custom Bitrate · 8/10-bit | Hardware · VideoToolbox |
| DPX | RGB 10/12/16-bit · RGBA 8-bit | CPU |
| OpenEXR | RGB/RGBA 16/32-bit · Zip1 / RLE | CPU |
Sidecar matches a LUT to the source filename. Custom Folder matches a folder of LUTs automatically. Apply Single LUT applies one LUT to the whole batch. When no sidecar is found, the Smart LUT Finder extracts the correct LUT from camera metadata for Kinefinity, ARRI, and McPRO24fps.
With Include Source Metadata enabled, the shooting metadata travels with the transcode — color science and color space, exposure, white balance, and lens, alongside Finder Tags and XMP — embedded in the output. The file creation date is set to the original camera CreateDate, so capture time reads correctly in FCP and Resolve.
Apply Finder Tags
Read a metadata file — from DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or evrExpanse, or scanned straight from a folder — and write macOS Finder Tags onto the referenced media. Filter footage right in Finder — nothing to import, no separate asset manager to maintain.
Adds tags without removing existing ones. Generally reversible with Remove.
Replaces all existing tags. Not reversible.
Removes only the tags listed in the metadata.
DaVinci Resolve (.csv) — Description, Comments, Keywords, Scene, Shot, Take, People, Camera #, Location and more.
Final Cut Pro (.fcpxml / .fcpxmld) — Keywords, Notes.
Folder / evrExpanse (.tsv) — Creative XMP, Camera & EXIF, Production / Clip.
Tags carry prefixes so they filter cleanly in Finder:
