Pro-Tool Spine · US-X1 — convert anything

Format Bridge

Take any hosted asset and get it in the format the next tool needs — mesh, image, or CAD — with an honest warning on any lossy step. One verb, deterministic, pennies.

The verb

convert source_url=<url> to=<format> # one-shot, any hosted asset convert project_id=<proj> scene_index=<i> to=<fmt> # appends a lineage-linked scene # CLI: livepeer convert --source-url <url> --to fbx
