Just bought neoscene for my new 550D and everything runs great in CS4.

The great news is that you don't have to pay de official price of 129$

If you buy neoscene to videguys.com and use in checkout these coupons:

REGTEN
FINAL5

The final price will be 84$!!!

Edit:

If this is against the rules (marketing) please delete it, but It's not my intention to sell anything (I have no relation with videoguys or cineform) I just like to help.

thanks thaz sweet!

the best solution for convert mov files from 550d 7d 5d is Pinnacle Studio 14 i convert files to 1920x1080p at 30.000 birate and very good quality.

I'll second that - plays mov files fine - no transcoding!

What does it transcode it to? Something lossless?

Dunno. Just drag mov files to timeline, start editing. Files play back and edit in full resolution.

Why this is the -only- program that seems to do this, is beyond me. Perhaps because Pinnacle is part of AVID?

I have been using Vegas Pro 9

and batch process using this free script: Proxy Stream [1.5d]

Document sans nom




I render to: HQ 1920x1080-24p, 35 Mbps VBR

Works very well, quality is great.


You can also render to .mxf at 35 or 50 Mbps VBR

Hmmm... even so I'd be wary of editing the h.264 directly. Seems like it wouldn't hold up well to manipulation versus a lossless codec. Of course I don't know how Pinnacle does things, I've never used it.

Are you SURE about that?

It's not the only program to do this.

Editing native files seems pretty easy to me
 

I get RT playback using native .mov files for CC using Edius 5.12.
v5.5 may offer improved acceleration, due out at NAB.

Thanks for posting this Rusty. Same here on both my 3Ghz desktop and 2Ghz laptop using Edius Neo 2 Booster. It's the only program I know (I've tried Pinnacle) that can edit native on both machines. Looking forward to NAB and what 5.5 brings to the table.

BTW for those of us who use Final Cut Express:
You must convert to Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC). It's the only FCE-supported codec that can handle HD footage (besides the native h264, but that's not edit-friendly). I spent too long trying to find this information myself, hope this helps save some time.

Guys, the raw .mov works fine in Premiere for me. I'm surprised since although a nice computer, it's been beat up and filled with useless stuff as I also use it as my personal computer.

It's a Q9450 processor btw. The rest of the components are quite entry level.

What exactly should I be wary of, and how specifically would I test it?

As far as I can tell. How can I be sure?

What other programs?
