Neo Scene recommendations
 

I'm running a FX1000 and Vegas 8.

Anyone share their experience with Neo Scene?

I downloaded the trial and let it expire before I tried it out. Actually I began to try it, had a glitch and moved on as I was swamped with non-HD work at the time and didn't have time to play with it.

I am about to begin work on some HD footage for the first time and the m2t files are definitely a bear to edit as is.

This is the next verion, it will also give you 3 more days on the trail.

Thank you David! I'll download it now!

Neo Scene on the MAC---WHEN?
 

Any prognostifications on when Neo Scene will be ready for the Mac?

I'm looking at 5x clip duration for spotty results just doing pulldown removal with Compressor. AE seems more reliable, but no faster. 6-8 hours of footage per project puts me up pretty late at night, babysitting Apple's unreliable apps.

The deadlines are now.

:)

Soon! More specifically it should be within the next 2-3 weeks. It's being actively worked on.

Neo Scene trial - video shorter than audio
 

I’m using the trial version of Neo Scene, capturing 24f from my XH A1. When I drag the converted files onto my timeline the video is much shorter than the audio.

During capture/conversion the log shows:
Starting conversion into E:\neoscenetrial\CFHDCap-000.avi
Using MPEG Audio Decoder 3

Is this enough info to tell what I’m doing wrong?

File a trouble ticket with support. CineForm Support
However, if it is only a few frames different, that is normal, but more that 15 frames what indicate something is wrong.

Will do. Thanks for the fast reply!

Neo Scene and HV30 30p: Audio Sync Issues
 

I just installed the demo for Neo Scene, and tried to capture some 30p footage from my Canon HV30. When I loaded the AVI file in an external app (Media Center), the audio was way out of sync with the video. Does Neo Scene support this mode? Upon closer examination, I realized it only has options for Maintain Source Framerate and 24p - which is different from the screenshots I have seen of HDLink in other Cineform products. I have checked to make sure I have the camera in HDV-out mode (not DV). I have filed a tech support ticket - but want to make sure I am trying to do something Neo Scene was designed to do... Thanks!

I forgot to mention that the reason I am trying out Neo Scene - in addition to a hopefully streamlined workflow - is that I have had trouble capturing video with the audio in sync in Premiere and HDVSplit - however it seems that the sync is way more off with Neo, for some reason.

Well, the problem seems to be that my core2duo laptop is still a little too wimpy to play back Cineform files at full quality in real time. Immediately after posting, I noticed the Tools menu with the Desktop Playback - Fast option. I set that, and then everything plays back fine!

Seems like you have audio problems outside of all those tools -- as there all provide correct audio sync. NEO Scene works with 30p sources without issue. Try another computer, and check you waveform in Premiere to confirm audio sync.

Yes, I should have thought of that. I'm happy you are all set.

Advantage with Neo Scene HDV in Premiere CS3?
 

I've been editing my HDV material natively in Premiere CS3 with great success. Since I've just bought Neo Scene to convert and edit AVCHD files, is there also any advantage to capture HDV via Neo Scene as well - or not?
Just wondering...

Yes. Editing will be less processor intensive, handle color correction better and other editing processes better. You will have larger files to edit, which is the result of converting the HDV gop to individual frame accurate files.

Thanks Chris, I'll try some scenes out today.
