What is a .CINE file?
CINE is footage from Vision Research Phantom high-speed cameras.
- Did you know
- Phantom cameras shoot the ultra-slow-motion footage seen in films and sports broadcasts.
- The CINE format stores fully uncompressed raw frames, and its header borrows the layout of the Windows BITMAPINFOHEADER structure.
- It is the native format of Vision Research’s Phantom cameras, some of which can capture over a million frames per second.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify camera RAW edit sidecars - Apple Photos adjustments (AAE), RawTherapee (PP3), Capture One (COS), DxO PhotoLab (DOP) and Nikon NX Studio (NKSC) - reading the applied-edit recipe, plus cinema and rare camera RAW: REDCODE (R3D), Blackmagic (BRAW), Canon Cinema RAW Light (CRM), ARRIRAW (ARI), Phantom CINE and FLIR thermal (FPF).
- Depth of analysis
- .CINE is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .CINE file
- Drag a .CINE file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
