v4.0 of CineForm's NEO HD/4K and Prospect HD/4K are out. at DVinfo.net

David Newman · May 15th, 2009, 08:06 PM

The main reason for v4.0 is to introduce CineForm's First Light, a color developement tool that works with all CineForm files made in the last year, that will change you workflow. With First Light, it is much simpler to correct for shooting errors and add creative looks without marking your timeline red render required segments. Everything you can do in First Light is applied in real-time wherever you use your CineForm media, as it a lot of fun to use. There is so much more coming to First Light, and those upgrade will be free to v4.x users.

Other features to v4.0, direct support for AVCHD, Canon 5D and universal MOV (convert almost any QT file) to CineForm transcodes. There is CS4 importer and exporter support and the classic 32-bit filters set for the Prospect users, but much more is coming. Still full support for CS2 and CS3 within Prospect HD/4K.

Trials and purchases are available through CineForm.com.

Several had noticed the LookInstaller utility was missing from Prospect HD and Neo HD (4K products where fine.) I have just refreshed the download links for PHD and NHD to include that missing item. Please download (HD versions only) again if you downloaded before 9:20pm PST.

Are you able to upgrade from Neo HD 3 to Neo HD 4? I can't seem to find any upgrade links.

Thank you Jay, I found them.

Could not find Upgrade price for PHD4 from PH3? -- Found them!

Bought PHD3 in December 2008? Does that mean a "good" upgrade price?

The First Light manual is in the CineForm --> (Product Name) folder under Start Menu.

The Product Site updater email said a Prospect 4K version we have is "ineligible" for the freebie 4.0 upgrade. What's up ?

(...yes, I did write Support.... :)

David Taylor · May 16th, 2009, 09:14 AM

Prospect 4K serial numbers are eligible for free upgrades. But let's take this offline - it's not really a forum topic.
