Hi All,

I can only recommend that new build, the enhancements are well worth it. Boundaries have been pushed once more.

Congratulations to David & the Cineform team for this important build,

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

I am still gettingthe crash in Adobe Premeire pro using a Cineform preset using the latest RC. Reported it to Jake a few months ago.

I nest clips on my timeline, then I add a transition then Adobe Premiere pro cs5 crashes.

We haven't yet looked into the nesting issue, I have also reproduced this. For now either don't nesting or use the desktop preset.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

Please...PLEASE can we fix the nesting issue soon! I posted the bug many months ago and it adversely affects my workflow. The work-around causes major slow downs that would not be necessary if this one issue was fixed. I know I'm only one person, but this bug has to be the most detrimental that I have experienced in Cineform and my editor is really fed up with the issue. (I can understand why) I understand that features are the name of the game when it comes to software, but quality features are what keep customers happy.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

The nesting bug just went away (not a single code change on our end.)

Test now and fast if you want this in the pending release.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

Okay, I will test tonight to see if it works.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

Hello David,

I just tested nesting and adding transitions, all works perfect thank you! What was the fix?

Leo

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

Adobe SDK, its sample code had the bug. Updated the SDK.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

That is great news! Thanks for the fix it's much appreciated.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

Links are broken.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

beta is over.

The release is available through normal channels, although we have detected an issue so hold off 24 hour if you can.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

New patched releases for everything uploading now, ready in about 30 minutes. Request your download link through Cineform

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

Hello, I'm trying a trial of neo3d. Whenever I export a file out of premiere cs5, when I use the "cineform avi file" preset, when I click export it tries to export then windows pops up the message "cfrenderproc has stopped working" and of course the export fails. In premiere if I choose to just export a normal avi file and choose cineform as the encoder within that, it works just fine.

Is this fixed in the build linked above? I can't tell because I just went to the cineform site and it sent me the download email, however the link it sent me for neo3d windows links to a broken 3mb archive.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

There is a typ-o in the download link for Neo3D. It is 531 not 513. That will be fixed when we get into the office.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

Ah, thank you!

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

BUG!

I have 2k footage from si2k. Opened in FL and it shows a purple 1 pixel bar down the right hand side of the image.

If I zoom to 1.0002 it will go past it, but it also shifts the color correction.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

Don't get that here with my SI footage.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

very strange..

I'm looking through all the footage that I scanned with the SI around that time, and it is only one project that has the bright pink line on the right side of the image. Hmm.. wonder if there was some kind of sync issue on those files to cause this.

5.3.1 bug FL:

If i change the zoom up 1.0002 + the exposure on the image shifts.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

Justin,

We made made that much better. It is cosmetic bug in that it will not impact output quality of rendering or playback, however it is annoying. It mostly impacts re-framing with a LUT applied. It is not new, been there ever since we added zoom. As I'm on a quality kick (got the 444(4) codec running to 1000 generations and still looking awesome), I decided to look the FL preview bug.

Here are the latest Decoder components used by FirstLight, Premiere, Vegas etc.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

David, the premiere pro bug I talked about on the top of this page still exists with this latest release. Any idea what could be going on?

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

Hello David,

I am converting Panasonic p2 hvx200 footage shoot at 720p. Anytime Iuse HDLINK to convert these into Cineform I am on Windows 7 pro, using Neo 4k latest build I downloaded form the Cineform website yesterday Neo4K v5.31 build 304 - CURRENT VERSION 5.

The p2 files convert using HDLINK, when I play them back the audio is normal speed, but the footage itself is playing back x3 faster as if it is being fast forwarded???

Thanks,

Leo

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

I have tried everything... but can not for the life of me find out how to export as an alpha file with Prem CS5 and Cineform.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

Jon,

No other reports, so you have a support issue, likely not a bug.

Leo,

Nothing changed in HDLink, support ticket please.

Gary,

Its seems something has broken with PPro alpha export. I put it on the list.



As this thread describes an older build, please post it new threads.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

Thanks for the reply David.
Just sent through a bug to cineform support with a small video file.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

I loaded the beta a couple of days back, per the link in this thread, and I started having playback issues with newly rendered files on WIndows Media player. I would bet an error message about "com support". Last evening, I was still having issues, as I was sorting through archived films that were archived in Cineform AVI., and I had problems playing back some of those. I uninstalled this version, and reinstalled a version in had on board from November. Seemed to resolve playback issues.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

Hi David,

Today I updated my Neoscene to v5.3.1. I tried to use it but after 5 seconds got error messages.
Here is what I tried to do in HDLink:

Capture option:
Automaticelly connect to CineForm Avi
Split on Scene change.

Errors messages:
Error connect pin sample rate cl Encoder 0x80040207 The owner SID on a per user subscription dosen;t exist in RT capture conver. cpp at 973

I never had this issue before therefore I unstalled and went back to the older neoscene build. I also tried to submit a ticket but I can't remmember my password and I am still waiting for Cineform to sent me my password email!!

Thanks
Matthew

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

Hello David,

I have just submitted a support ticket about the Panasonic mxf p2 issue. I also got the render problem when I tried to do an direct export in Premeirepro cs5 withthe render process crashing. I was able to sue the Adobe Media encoder queue, however on this new build I not seen this problem. But I will keep trying to get the crash to see if it is something in a paticular project.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

All is working well for me. Thanks for the continued updates.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

I really need ro be able to export the cineform alpha.
Do you know when it will be fixed?

Thanks

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

It is fixed, but not related to this thread. Please contact support.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

OK... thanks David.
(Im sure the alpha chaneel was mentioned in this thread) :-)
Will do.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

I am getting the nesting issue with the march 15 release. The cfrtplayer.prm appears to be the cause.

Re: Release cadidate for v5.3.1
 

We contacted Adobe about this.
