22. Feb. 2018


We are pleased to announce the release of Cheetah3D 7.2. The biggest change in v7.2 is probably the complete rewrite of the movie import/export code. Cheetah3D is using the AVFoundation framework now which offers much faster and better movie export. It also supports new state of the art movie codecs like HEVC. Professional users will enjoy the added ProRes workflow.
