What is in it
- Video
- H.264 in MP4, VP9 in WebM with transparency, GIF, and 16-bit ProRes 4444 with alpha.
- HDR
- HDR10 and HLG, encoded by the engine as 10-bit HEVC with HDR10 metadata in BT.2020.
- Sequences
- PNG with alpha, JPEG and EXR, zipped.
- Audio
- The mixdown as WAV.
- Vector and data
- Lottie JSON for web and mobile players, the project as JSON, and edit-decision lists in EDL, OTIO, FCPXML and ALE.
- Template package
- A .mogrt.zip holding a template's fields and its project. It re-imports here; it is not an Adobe .mogrt and does not open in Premiere Pro.
- Deterministic frames
- Frame time is index divided by fps, never wall-clock, so two exports of one project are identical.
- Render queue
- Add, duplicate, remove, retry, skip, per-job progress and output-module settings. Stop a render and pick up where it stopped, including after a relaunch.
- Command line
- premation render runs the same engine with no window, including --captions, --data and --commands.
- Streams to disk
- Peak memory is one frame. A long export leaves the app usable.
- Refuses bad frames
- A malformed frame aborts the render instead of being written silently.
