Frequently Asked Questions
Why not just use Finder?
Finder helps you organize files.
GyoKan helps you inspect, compare, and choose them before editing.
Side-by-side comparison, LUT Preview, Overlay Preview, and waveform preview are designed specifically for creative review, not file management.
What is LUT Preview for?
GyoKan helps you compare creative looks quickly.
Use it to explore direction and narrow down options.
Final color grading should always be completed in your editor or grading software.
What file formats are supported?
GyoKan uses macOS native media frameworks. Supported formats, including camera RAW files, depend on the codecs and RAW support available in your version of macOS.
Does GyoKan use a lot of CPU or memory?
GyoKan loads media only when needed and avoids processing files until they are viewed.
Actual performance depends on your Mac, storage, media format, and folder size.
Does GyoKan upload my files?
No.
All browsing happens locally on your Mac.
No cloud.
No account.
Your media never leaves your computer.
Does GyoKan modify my original files?
No. GyoKan never edits or overwrites your original media files.
Can I use external SSDs or NAS?
Yes. GyoKan works with folders you choose, including external storage, as long as macOS can access them.
Why not Adobe Bridge?
Adobe Bridge is designed for media management and Adobe workflows.
GyoKan focuses on one stage of the workflow:
browsing, comparing, and selecting assets before editing.
If you need a digital asset manager, Bridge is a better fit.
If you simply need to find the right shot faster, GyoKan is built for that.
Why doesn't GyoKan include editing features?
Because that's not its job.
GyoKan is designed to help you inspect and select assets before editing.
Once you've found the right files, continue your workflow in Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or your preferred editor.
Finder manages files.
GyoKan helps you choose them.
