Mainly useful bug fixes for Premiere users (all versions) for errors that occurred importing some AVI files.

Added: support for MOV CineForm files in CS5. T
Fixed: importing clips in CS3 sometimes losing their audio.
Fixed: importing longer AVI files into CS4 (was getting the duration wrong.)
Fixed: a occasional crash in the systray Status Viewer when requesting the version information.
Fixed: FijiFilm W3 cameras reporting conversion progress percentage wrong.

Please report any any new issue to support, and we will turn the fix around quickly.

So the Mac users are not missing out.

This includes an early beta on the CS5 suport. It is missing an exporter, presets (which need the exporter) and an uninstaller. The CS5 components can be installed separately if you don't want to try that yet.

Any feedback, or should I take the silence to mean all is well? :)

Running ok...

I run into one prob, but I think its a bug also in the last version. If you try to render a left and right videofile with AE CS5, you get only the left view. If you switch to the right view you can see how its switching back to left and you get ti identical (mono) files!
If you do the same within PPro CS5 everything is working fine!

Thanks for the mac early beta. I am currently playing with it and will report anything I find.

Since there is no uninstaller, can you tell us, or point us to a technote, on how to upgrade this version in the future, or uninstall it manually.

Thanks

Hannu, Thank you for the feedback.

Robert, Try (if appropriate) rendering your AE composite in 16-bit rather than 32-bit, that might be where the bug is and that code is soon to change.

Brian, We are working on the release notes for Mac CS5 support. A future build can be installed over the top, and it will contain the uninstaller for the CS5 components. The uninstaller for the rest is currently present.

any idea what's going on?

Thanks!!

We don't do anything with multi-cam, and it wasn't worked on within this build, but please submit a trouble ticket to support. Likely be better within CS5 -- if you have that.

Thanks David, will submit (a ticket).

I have cs5, but unfortunately, I'm running my editing on the same system i'm capturing with my si2k laptop.. and silicon DVR requires XP -- cs5 requires windows 7. Cineform has limited support for cs4 (thanks to adobe...) and running DVR trumps cs5.

So I'm stuck for now.

Hi David.

Now it seems to work OK (N4K Beta 5.1.3.272). The tray icon / About -do not crash any more on XP.

Thanks, this version does seem pretty solid. It will likely be official by the end of the week.

Hey David!

can you reorder the negative invert to be after the white balance or add the LOOK option before the primaries with the new build?

No, because that would be wrong. :) Invert must be applied before white balance, that is the correct order and it is working now (with or without a LUT applied.)

It is working now?
It was doing something strange before. It seemed like it was working correctly, but when compared with a inversion 64LUT that I was using, the channels were not inverting properly. Jake saw this when we did our session.

Did you change something in a new build since the session that Jake and I had with it last week?

White balance is working correctly. You where using an inverting LUT with of course would make the RGB controls swap. The bug fix in the next release makes the invert work without an LUT applied, white balance works fine this way.

Awesome!

Can't wait for the build to come out to try that. That will make my life much easier!

Think the next build will also have an update for the HOLD keyframes, to make scene to scene (shot to shot) corrections easier? (stops the keyframes from animating inbetween).

No changes to key-framing in the upcoming build.

I’ve uploaded the online version of 4K and have a couple of comments. I’m using Premiere Pro on a MAC Pro platform.

1) Using the beta for MAC version of Remaster I’ve transcoded some AVCHD files that included a 5.1 Dolby audio track and the result was 2 channel Stereo with the surround channels apparently dumped into the left stereo track. I assume this since the resulting left channel volume was much louder. Does or will remaster support 5.1 dolby conversion?

2) The resulting video seems a little softer after transcode to cineform. This observation is strictly on the Premiere source and timeline windows. Is this normal? Will the final output to DVD or Bluray show improvement?

1) On the Mac it should supported what ever your AC3 decoder is outputting, we don't route surround channels to one side. We don't ship an AC3 decoder, so check you settings for whichever decoder you are using.

2) It is not softer, useless you choose to use a heavy compression it can be slight (one of the advantages of wavelet.) For some camera source it maybe little less contrasty (which can be mistaken for softness), and this is by design to make the image more color correctable in post.
