Pearla’s post-production workspace

A catalog and editor for photos, videos, and every version they need to become.

Revela is a catalog and non-destructive node-graph editor for stills and motion. It brings organization, RAW processing, color work, compositing, search, and multi-output export into one workspace, so each source can become every finished version it needs.

// THE REVELA MODEL

The source stays whole. The work keeps moving.

Revela treats the source, the edit, and the finished versions as one connected structure. Organize the work, shape it non-destructively, branch it into the outputs each job needs, and keep every version tied to the decisions behind it.

  • 01 Catalog Organize photos, videos, collections, references, metadata, edits, outputs, and search data in one working library.
  • 02 Non-destructive graph Build the edit as visible nodes, so RAW processing, color work, masks, healing, compositing, and outputs stay adjustable.
  • 03 Stills and motion Work with photos and videos through the same graph model, instead of splitting a job across separate editing systems.
  • 04 Output nodes Give each finished version its own crop, trim, format, color space, dimensions, and delivery settings.
  • 05 Branching versions Let one source become a gallery file, print export, social crop, video trim, alternate grade, or client delivery without becoming disconnected copies.
  • 06 Graph presets Save a complete editing and delivery structure, then apply it to another asset or a full collection.
  • 07 Collection export Export primary outputs or every output across a collection in one operation.
  • 08 On-device search Search visual content, text, speech, metadata, and structured filters without sending the catalog to Pearla servers.

// 01 The Graph

The finish has a place in the graph.

Every adjustment in Revela lives where you can see it. RAW settings, color grades, masks, retouching, text, compositing, and outputs all become nodes on the canvas. A print, social post, video trim, or grade branches from the same source, each with its own crop, format, and color space, so the finish is part of the edit, not a separate export after it.

Revela node graph A graph that starts as one input feeding one output, then grows node by node, branches off a Hero output, and fans out into 16:9, 9:16 and 4:5 outputs.

// 02 Catalog

Everything finds its place.

A Revela catalog holds everything: assets, grades, outputs, metadata, notes, reference material, selects, tags, favorites, and ratings, all in one place and AI searchable. Collections, smart collections, folder trees, and references keep the archive organized without separating the work from the decisions attached to it. Catalogs scale to your needs, so running several is as easy as running one.

// 03 Branching Versions

More versions, without more copies.

Revela lets the work branch without breaking away from the source. Build one structure, then let each branch carry the version it needs. The original remains intact. The edit remains readable. The finished outputs stay tied to the decisions behind them.

ONE SOURCE · MANY BRANCHES

// 04 Presets + Export

Save the workflow, not just the look.

A graph preset holds the full structure of an edit: adjustments, masks, outputs, formats, trims, and color spaces. Apply it to one asset or a whole collection, then export the primary output or every output in one operation. Hundreds of finished files, without rebuilding the delivery pass asset by asset.

// 05 Search

Search by what is in the work.

Revela indexes visual content, visible text, speech, metadata, and structured filters locally. Search for the frame by describing it: the clip with a spoken line, the image with text in the background, the portraits from a date range, the wide shots from a specific camera. The index stays on the device.

On-device search A search field cycling through example natural-language queries.

// 06 RAW + PWG™

Raw enters a wider room.

Revela processes RAW files from sensor data into Pearla Wide Gamut™ or other color spaces, for both SDR and HDR workflows. Color work starts from a broader foundation than the display preview alone, with the original file left untouched and every decision held non-destructively in the graph.

RAW video develops the same way: PearlaRAW™ Video, Apple ProRes RAW, Blackmagic RAW, and Nikon N-RAW, with more RAW video formats coming soon.

// 07 Retouch + Composite

The retouch stays part of the edit.

Healing, frequency separation, curves, color wheels, and masks are nodes in the graph, for photos and video alike. Retouch in your project’s wider color space, and deliver in the color space your colorist works in. The retouch stays reversible, at the full quality of the source.

  • 01 No round-trips Retouch photos and videos without sending them to another application and importing them again.
  • 02 Frequency separation in video Works in video mode, with tracking.
  • 03 Retouch for the colorist Deliver the complete look, or only the retouch in log, in the project’s color space, ready to grade. The retoucher retouches, the colorist grades, and neither has to undo the other’s work.

// 08 Film Emulation

Film, measured.

Authentic film emulation for video and stills, as a node in the graph like everything else. Pearla film profiles reshape the whole picture, its color, tone, and density, as it is rendered, with measured grain and halation on top.

Use film profiles in Revela
GRAIN THAT KNOWS THE LIGHT · HALATION THAT KNOWS RESTRAINT
  • 01 Measured grain and halation They behave the same way on a video clip as on a still.
  • 02 Negative and print Grain is modeled at both stages of the film process. Run negative and print grain together for a richer result than either on its own.
  • 03 Exposure-aware grain Strongest through the shadows and lower midtones, easing off in deep blacks and bright highlights, the way film does.

// 09 Catalogs + Sync

Your library, wherever it lives.

Revela catalogs sync through the cloud storage you already use and pay for, follow your work across locations, and pick up what you shoot in Pearla Verana.

Sync across Macs
  • 01 Your iCloud, your storage Sync catalogs across Mac, iPad, and iPhone1 through your own iCloud account, on the storage you already have. Pearla Cloud is there when you share work with others2.
  • 02 Local and remote Manage catalogs across multiple locations and repositories, local and remote, from one place.
  • 03 Pearla Verana PearlaRAW™ files you shoot in Pearla Verana sync through the cloud into your Revela catalogs automatically.
  1. Revela for iPad and iPhone follows later this year. Revela Lite is already included in Pearla Verana for iPhone.
  2. Pearla Cloud is coming later this year. iCloud support is available now.
