I haven't needed it since I bought my last camera. I do sometimes use the Sony utilities that go with the camera to trim fat from XAVC-S, though. Play Memories Home.

so, it's not really an editor, just sort of a sony camera tool software?

There are three different tools in the Catalyst Series, Catalyst Browse (Free), Catalyst Prepare and Catalyst Edit (both are subscription based). Prepare his a higher version of Browse and Edit is the NLE. I did play with the trial version a while back but was not impressed.

Subscription based. Feature poor. Don't see the point of it at all.

BTW The free Catalyst Browse installs an OpenCL emulation ("E-gpu") that MAY mess with GPU support on your system.  (On my system it prevents FilmConvert using the GPU.)

I think @Marco. has good experience in Catalyst.

I once had but I dropped using it since SCS sold Vegas.
