FilmConvert Adds RED V‑RAPTOR Camera Pack to Nitrate and CineMatch

# What happened FilmConvert added a camera profile pack for RED's V‑RAPTOR platform to its Nitrate and CineMatch plug‑ins. The pack is available at no extra cost to existing FilmConvert users. CineMatch users must update their plug‑in to access the new V‑RAPTOR profiles.

# Why it matters

# What's included The Camera Pack adds sensor and color‑science calibrations for the V‑RAPTOR line to both FilmConvert Nitrate and CineMatch. The plug‑ins support major editing hosts including Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro. Users who already own FilmConvert can download the new profiles for free.

# Which V‑RAPTOR models are referenced The V‑RAPTOR family has expanded since 2021 and the article lists both rolling shutter and global shutter models released over five years. Examples named in the piece include:

• V‑RAPTOR 8K VV (2021)
• V‑RAPTOR XL 8K VV (2022)
• V‑RAPTOR 8K S35 (2022)
• V‑RAPTOR XL 8K S35 (2023)

• V‑RAPTOR models with Nikon Z mount and the XE variant (2024–2025 releases)

The Camera Pack aims to cover the platform's various sensor and color science configurations.

# How this fits into common workflows CineMatch is used for camera‑matching and Nitrate for film emulation. Together, the pair can be applied during primary color correction or later during grading. With accurate profiles for V‑RAPTOR sensors, a colorist or editor can:

• Start with sensor‑matched profiles that approximate camera color response

Plug‑in availability for the main NLEs means teams can integrate the profiles without changing host applications.

# Availability and next steps for users Existing FilmConvert users can download the V‑RAPTOR Camera Pack for free. CineMatch users should update their plug‑in to see the new profiles. The article points readers to FilmConvert's website for additional details and the actual downloads.

# Practical considerations If you already work with V‑RAPTOR footage and you use FilmConvert tools, update CineMatch and Nitrate, then test the new profiles on representative clips. Compare results when matching V‑RAPTOR to other cameras you commonly use to confirm whether the profiles reduce manual grading time for your projects.

# Bottom line FilmConvert's addition of V‑RAPTOR profiles brings the platform into its calibrated camera list, making camera matching and film emulation more accessible for teams working with RED's 8K systems across the principal editing hosts.
