Hi Tom. Thanks for the comments. We have this on our radar already, but we’ll make sure the development team hears about your interest in supporting video files.

We’ll make note of that. Thanks for the suggestion.

At least showing a thumbnail where the video files are would be a big help!

Thanks Jerry. I want you to know that you’re being heard and that we are taking your suggestions into consideration. Exposure is heading in that direction. Video files need a substantial amount of processing power to work with, so the GPU acceleration in Exposure X6 makes something like video rendering possible. So we’re closer than we’ve ever been to making it possible.

That’s unfortunate to hear. I asked the same question last year when X5 was announced prior to release and the answer was more or less similar. I take it that video which is very much a part of modern camera systems in this digital era, will continue to be ignored as non-media. I currently resort to ACDSee, or DigiKam (open source and free) to be able to manage and organize video clips as media assets along with photos.

I understand Exposure and a plethora of other applications are oriented towards photo editing, but to ignore audio and video media assets just is not right. I am not suggesting a full-fledged video NLE to be incorporated into Exposure. Minimally, if Exposure is to support management and organizational functionality, there should minimally be some basic support functions. Thumbnails instead of a iconic place holder which indicates nothing other then that it is not a photo. Or, to be able to assign a poster frame to provide some indication of the content. Basic keyword, tagging, comments as EXIF or IPTC data for searchability. Alas, I will need to continue resorting to other resources that will offer full media organization support. Thanks for the reply consideration.

Thanks for your interest, Jerry. Expanding Exposure’s abilities to also process video files is something that’s on our radar, but it’s not going to make this release. I will add a few notes to our developer logs about your interest in that feature set.

Vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar. Ja, Sie können Exposure X5 jetzt kaufen. Wenn Belichtung X6 fertig ist, senden wir Ihnen eine Kopie. Wir werden im Blog Ankündigungen zu Exposure X6 machen. Weitere Neuigkeiten finden Sie hier.

Thanks for commenting, Peter. If your current workflow works for your needs, you don’t have to upgrade to every version. I encourage you to check out the trial when Exposure X6 becomes available. You might discover that the new version is worth the investment.

Thanks for commenting, Chris. We haven’t released a date for when Exposure X6 will be available, but we will make the announcements here on the blog when we do.

but as an enthusiast i have to skip versions.

Thanks for commenting, Bob. The upgrade price for Exposure is $89.

Thanks for your interest in Exposure X6. Yes, there are automatic options for basic edits. Liquify is on our list, but it’s not going to make it into this release. I’ll add a note about your interest in our logs.

Hi Antonio,

We’re not sure of the exact timeline for that camera. We’re waiting support from a third-party supplier. Once they have added support we’ll test and get it out in a point update.

Until direct support is added, one option is to use Adobe DNG Convertor or other software to convert to DNG.

Thanks for commenting. Yes, the Canon EOS-R uses CR3 files. It’s a supported camera model.

Thanks for commenting, Desmond. The upgrade price for Exposure is $89.

Thanks, Roeland. We are excited, too. We will email you directly when Exposure X6 is ready. You are on our email list already.

Yes, if you purchase Exposure X5 now, you will get the upgrade to Exposure X6 when it is released.
