But this will create temporary files, unlike adding it to timeline ? I explain my idea: Transcode originated in CinGG as support for proxies, mainly to have non-temporary conversions that could remedy sources with seeking problems. In fact, initially the Proxy and Transcode entries in the manual were merged together. But in the editing world, especially in pro programs, transcoding is mainly used to edit sources into Intermediate, suitable for editing work. It is a fundamental part of pre-editing work and they provide sophisticated features such as merging high-quality external audio tracks by replacing them with those embedded in the source, while maintaining synchronization. One has to think that in the pro environment we have to deal with dozens or even hundreds of sources and these all have to be processed together automatically, before tackling the actual editing. Hence the need for transcoding functionality. When GG created Transcode for CinGG I asked him to also offer the ability to choose color space as well as codec/format, but he replied that this was not possible. Shortly thereafter he created the ColorSpace plugin for those who needed this functionality. The trouble with the plugin, however, is that it has to act manually on each individual source in the timeline and not automatically on all the sources in the Resources (pre-editing) window. This defeats its usefulness if you have dozens and dozens of sources. I can't find the post anymore, but a while back a user asked if it was possible to have audio/video sync via timecode. GG provided this part of the request but not the second part that asked for automatic replacement of the embedded audio with the external track. He said that with this feature CinGG would have everything needed for highly professional use. But apart from audio, being able to choose the color space in the resource window would mean providing true transcoding. Hence my request to be able to put ColorSpace in the Transcode rendering window. Let's be clear though, this is only to interest Pro users, who tackle large projects for work. We are perfectly fine with that as well. It's just that it would be nice to be able to have a functional program even in pro work environments (I mean jobs for cinema, Netflix, etc.)
PS: I don't know if it is worth asking an outside developer to work on CinGG's color management. Adam Williams, Herman Vossler (who later created Lumiere, precisely because of the inability to develop Cin's code), Einar and even GG have said it is not possible. Perhaps one could ask "Monty" Montgomery, who knows both Cin and color management well, since he created BlueBanana.
