Catalyst Prepare is the fast, simple, reliable path from camera to post. You can use Catalyst Prepare to copy and back up clips, organize your media clips, create subclips, apply color correction, and export clips.
The Catalyst Prepare window can be displayed in two modes: In Organize mode, you can make a checksum-verified, full-volume backup; browse your computer for media files; copy media to your computer; add to your media libraries; organize library clips using bins; export clips to additional volumes or devices; upload to Sony Media Cloud Services Ci; a...
You can use libraries in Catalyst Prepare to organize your media.
You can use different libraries to manage your media. A library helps you organize your clips, and you can use bins for even more control.

In Catalyst Prepare, you can have one library open a...
