If you only need the app for a two week shoot for example you can snap up XT for only $69. An annual subscription to Silverstack is $399 and for the more full functional Silverstack XT, $599. There are two versions of Silverstack available at two different prices, operating on an annual, monthly or 14 day subscription model. The ability to see offload statistics, tag things in FCPX style smart folders, export metadata reports with thumbnails, handle CDL’s and LUTs, transcode (and add framelines at the same time) and many, many other things, make this the DIT app of choice, especially for anyone looking to do some heavy lifting on set. If I was doing more editorial prep work on-set, then I would absolutely upgrade to Silverstack XT for the far greater functionality across the board than you get in other apps. In the colour grading side of the app it’s nice to have the choice to switch back and forth between colour wheels and sliders with a click whilst working, although the wheels had a nice fine grain feel to them, whilst the slider adjustments felt a little heavy handed to me. In many ways the extra details adds a level of clarity, even to simple tasks like the offload process, because you have to think about what you’re doing, with a tiny bit more thoroughness, which helps you avoid making sloppy mistakes. If you’re used to a simple looking offload app interface, like ShotPut Pro or EditReady’s, then Silverstack’s more detailed configuration can appear a little daunting at first, but it’s actually extremely well thought out, with everything you need to see for the specific task at hand, available immediately.
