EVRapp, a post-production software developer from Italy, led by Antonio Marogna, has recently introduced the second iteration of its Final Cut Pro export measurement tool, ChronoX 2.
This release follows the original version launched in 2020. Marogna, who operates as a solo photographer and filmmaker, founded EVRapp with the goal of making media file metadata more accessible and useful within video editing software.
ChronoX’s Evolution and Purpose
The inaugural version of ChronoX was designed as a benchmarking tool for measuring export times in Final Cut Pro, aimed at helping users fine-tune their computing setups for optimal editing speeds. This was especially pertinent after Apple updated Final Cut Pro to version 10.7 last year, introducing significant workflow enhancements but leaving a gap in export time tracking—a gap that ChronoX seeks to fill.
New Features in ChronoX 2
ChronoX 2 builds upon its predecessor by offering more accurate export time measurements, now precise to the centisecond. It extends support to additional file formats including MOV, M4V, MP4, and MXF. A notable convenience feature is the tool’s ability to automatically open exported files in QuickTime Player or another compatible viewer. Additionally, ChronoX 2 promises an easier installation process than the first version.
Variants and Pricing
EVRapp markets two versions of ChronoX 2. The standard edition, which is free, provides basic export time data via a pop-up notification. The professional version, priced at €9.99, offers enhanced functionality such as the ability to perform up to three automatic exports and generates detailed CSV reports that include CPU and GPU usage, storage data, and information about the macOS and Final Cut Pro versions in use.
