Matchbox
The Cargo Cult introduced Matchbox as a change-management tool for post-production workflows in which picture, sound, VFX, localisation and colour grading proceed separately. It compared two versions of a project and identified differences such as VFX revisions, music remixes and dialogue changes.
The software followed Conformalizer 4 and supported macOS and Windows at launch, with Linux support under consideration. Historical pricing was US$639, or US$399 as a Conformalizer 4 crossgrade, with a 15-day trial.
Facilities should test conform accuracy, timecode handling and interchange with their editorial and VFX systems using real revisions before deployment.
