Pixboom Cine
PIXBOOM Cine is a professional software tool designed for handling PXBC files captured by the PIXBOOM SPARK camera. It combines media ingestion, review, trimming, and format conversion into a single streamlined workflow, enabling users to efficiently prepare footage for post-production.
With PIXBOOM Cine, users can easily import PXBC footage, trim clips, and export them to standard CinemaDNG sequences or other formats.
What’s New
- Preview and export footage with horizontal or vertical desqueeze, making it easier to work with anamorphic lens material.
- Better stability for 4K+ and desqueezed video exports, reducing the chance of stalled exports or abnormal output files.
- Original resolution is now shown more clearly, with improved format guidance for large-size video exports.
- When multiple files fail during export, the error summary can now be fully viewed and scrolled for easier troubleshooting.
- Reduced pink / magenta artifacts that could appear around bright highlights or high-contrast edges.
- Improved export progress, completion messages, dropdown behavior, and window layout stability.

- Hardware acceleration is limited
- Graphics API support is incomplete
- The software is running in virtual machines or remote desktop environments
you may encounter issues such as:
- Failure to launch
- Preview anomalies
- Reduced rendering performance
- Decreased export stability
Feature availability and performance in the current version may vary depending on platform environment, hardware configuration, graphics drivers, codec environment, and media specifications.
For workflows involving high-resolution media, long-duration exports, or batch processing, it is strongly recommended to validate performance on the target deployment system before production use.
