Bug fixes and minor updates to the overlay engine.

From the readme:
Added: Support for color, stroke and background for overlay controls in First Light.
Added: Overlays timing so over only appear of a particular time period (in and out times.)
Added: (3D products) Overlays in 3D with a parallax control.
Enhanced: Improved font rendering performance in multiple core systems.
Fixed: First Light wait long to get a license (fixing an occasional startup failure.)
Fixed: Licensing issues with 64-bit codec on Windows 7 systems.
Fixed: CS4 crash using overlays.

Download links for trials and updates.

Sweet David, Any chance of AJA XENA LHi support before new years for CS4 (need sound and HDLink support)?

Regards
Mikael

David Newman · December 18th, 2009, 07:42 PM

AJA support is attached the to pipeline (a.k.a. Real Time Engine) so I expect it will all be switched on at once.

Hugh Mobley · December 18th, 2009, 07:54 PM

Why do I get "page not found" clicking on Neoscene update?

Mikael Bergstrom · December 18th, 2009, 07:56 PM

Can't hold my breath, the AJA XENA LHi support!!!

It's the final piece of the puzzle for me and many others, the best gift I can think of clearly for Christmas present.

Best Regards
Mikael

Hugh Mobley · December 18th, 2009, 07:56 PM

Also tried IE but no luck, but, other links open save box, only Neoscene does not work,

David Newman · December 18th, 2009, 07:56 PM

Thanks, I fixed the link.

David Newman · December 18th, 2009, 08:02 PM

NeoScene download is working now.

Craig Irving · December 19th, 2009, 02:17 AM

Anyone else having trouble extracting the Prospect HD zip file?

I get a damaged archive error.

Pete Bauer · December 19th, 2009, 03:33 AM

My copy of PHD b232 seemed to download, extract, and install fine (after uninstalling b230). However, upon touching the CTI or Play button in FL (only app running, PPro not open yet), I get the error msg in the attached file and no more display.

Probably won't have the time to experiment with file overwrites in the next few hours. David, is this a quick fix or should I just roll back to b230 plus the updated DLL file, or leave b232 installed and overwrite the decode DLL as we did with b230?

Yes, the same with Prospect 4K zip file.
Damaged archive...

David Newman · December 19th, 2009, 11:14 AM

I have check the Zip files are they are fine. The where encode the same way are we also do. Maybe try upgrade or using a different unzip tool. I just tested with WinRAR (which also handles ZIP) and hand no issues.

The DLL fixes are in b232, so something is amiss on your system. I just tried 4:2:2 60i HDV sources, which is where we had the problem before, all work fine here. Do you have a small AVI sample that does this you could send. Use YouSendIt.com as the office ftp site is less convenient to reach from home. My e-address is dnewman at the company domain.

Sorry, I'm have almost zilch upload capability the next few days; can't do it with large files. These are the same converted Canon HF10 psf30 AVCHD files at 17mb/s (not HDV), plus another batch of them just converted yesterday using b230 with the new decode DLL. A test render to WMV of a short segment of one of the newest files using AME worked fine in b230 + new DLL.

I did open FL and PPro today to give it a brief try again, and maybe this info will help: Seems to scrub and play fine IF the histogram is off. If histogram is on, playing or scrubbing video rapidly propagates repeated instances of the histogram up the left side of the overlay window in both FL and PPro Program Monitor window until FL gives the memory error and ceases to play video. As before, I doubt there is anything wrong with the source AVCHD files. There's got to be a bug in either the HDLink encoding, or more likely, within FL.

David Newman · December 19th, 2009, 02:09 PM

Pete,

While I couldn't produce that error, I did find an improvement the impacts the histogram (maybe related to what you are seeing.)

Please give this a try: http://www.cineform.com/downloads/CFHDDecoder.zip

Unzip and place over program files/cineform/tools

If the FL issue goes way I will roll this change into the release builds.
