Daylight v7
A powerful platform for dailies management and high-performance transcoding.
Daylight v7 is now available.
Daylight v7 subscriptions are available for any length – sign up for quarterly or annual subscriptions, or use the Custom Duration option to purchase the number of days you need for your current project.
All shots can have full Baselight v7 grades, and Daylight v7 also includes the ability to apply, create and edit looks in Chromogen, and has full support for ACES AMF workflows.
If you have a current v6 licence and would like to upgrade to v7 before it ends, contact daylight‑[email protected].
The web store allows you to try or buy the macOS Daylight application, which will run on any Mac system equipped with macOS 14, 15 or 26. Alternatively, as your throughput requirements increase you can upgrade to the Linux version of Daylight, which supports multiple Nvidia GPUs: contact daylight‑[email protected] for more details.
14-Day Trial gives you access to a fully functioning version of Daylight for 14 days.
Custom Duration allows you to access a full licence for the exact number of days required, with a limit of 365 days.
The Daylight custom licence is priced on a sliding scale, where the cost of each day reduces the longer the duration of the licence. For example, in USD:
- 1 day = $50
- 10 days = $270 ($27 per day)
- 100 days = $1520 ($15.20 per day)
3-Month Subscription allows you to access a full licence for Daylight for three (3) months.
Annual Subscription allows you to access a full licence for Daylight for one (1) year.
Daylight is designed to handle the end-to-end requirements of your dailies workflow, from ingest and review through to the generation of material for editorial, VFX and other deliverables. The application makes use of the core technology from full Baselight systems, but in a macOS software-only package that you can deploy into your near-set environment.
If you are working with a post-production facility equipped with Baselight or Baselight Editions, the full grade from Daylight can be encapsulated in a completely portable, cross-platform BLG file. No amount of additional GPUs or CPUs can be as fast or as flexible as this renderless workflow.
Daylight also makes use of over 10 years of accumulated Baselight development to provide comprehensive support for all camera and deliverable formats—including audio and retiming capability. Support for sophisticated rescaling, filtering, masking and burn-in operations, alongside Truelight Colour Spaces for accurate colour transforms, means that all of your deliverable requirements can be met by one application.
