Yeah.. obviously the thing that happened was that I uninstalled Cineform before installing Visualdub. When opening Media player suddently I got a "Medialooks" Icon embedded in the videos???. I was ready to throw in the towel, so after reinstalling Cineform and visualdub again, it worked.. But what kind of realization am I supposed to get from this.. Yeah the vid looks fine in visualdub.. so? I cant edit there.

Contact Support? Which one.. Cineform? Adobe? Blackmagic Design? Whos the one to blame? All Im gonna get is tossed around from one to the next, in the neverending blame game.. Im out.

Im telling you.. PPro 4 + Intensity pro + Cineform.. bad mix.. test that.

Thanks guys for trying.

Nik...wise decision...I think it's best....

I think it is generally accepted that not all combinations of hardware/software that were *supposed* to work on paper, actually do. Especially in the areas that push/test the capabilities of technology, particularly video post-production.

That's why it is important to find a hard/software combination that works for you, and basically lock it so not to throw off the delicate balance :)

That's what I do, in any case...

I played around with First Light, and I liked what I saw. But the program was a little too glitchy, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled NeoScene. But now I'm getting that color histogram thingy showing up on all my video clips, no matter where I open them (Vegas, Media Player, etc). I thought that would go away when uninstalling NeoHD?

Wow, that histogram is really getting on my nerves. I removed every single Cineform file on my computer and did a system restore. That dumb thing is still showing up on any video I watch.

It is user data, so we don't uninstall anything you created or changed. The latest NeoScene has the same histogram control, without FirstLight you turn it on and off through the Active Metadata Status Viewer in the systray -- look fort the "C" icon. Right click on it and on to "Active Metadata" and uncheck "Tools" or "Histogram".

What kind of glitchs? I tried it as well and liked its features, it just kept locking up after about 3 minutes of playback.

Right-click the CineForm tray icon. In the Active Metadata menu item deselect "Tools". The specific menu organization has been changing lately as we're preparing for our v5 release, so it might not be in exactly the location I described.

Well, it would just crash for no apparent reason, and then the effects I'd apply (like white balance) might not take effect until 10 seconds after I hit Play.

One of the things I really liked was the Temperature setting in white balance. A super easy way to adjust the kelvin temp of the footage in one easy slider.

Thanks Dave. I figured that out last night before hitting the sack.

By "crash" do you mean the firstlight player would stop playing and lock up. Because thats what it was doing when I tried it.

Yep, that was it.

Both report to support on how you did it and what type of source caused the failure. May already be solved, as I haven't seen a lockup in ages. We were very stable at NAB.
