Cineform Sony NEX support?

[Rafael Lopes]

Hi guys,

These days I've been doing mostly still photo but occasionally I still do some video. The files from the Sony NEX cameras are a pain to deal with on Premiere CS5 so I've downloaded a Neo Scene trial to see if it could make my life easier...but when I've opened the program to convert the files and selected the folder where the NEX files were I could see they didn't seem to be supported.

Can anyone confirm this? It would really be a shame because the NEX-5N and the NEX-7 are great for shooting high quality video.

Cineform studio needs MOV or MP4 containers for input, I think rewrapping the M2TS produced by the NEX into either of those and the program will be able to transcode them.

I've been having an AVCHD learning session with Cineform Firstlight Neo3D, and you can see what the issues and progress report is by looking at this thread

It can be done, but it's not a one-step procedure.

I've not used Neo Scene, but CF Neo 5.x will transcode Sony NEX VG 10 .m2ts files without any difficulty.
My Canon AVCHD cams also produce .m2ts files, and Neo handles them easily as well.

I was browsing the supported cameras on the cineform website and could not find the NEX5N or the NEX7. Can anyone confirm that it supports these cameras?

I wrote cineform and their support has been helping me out. Basically I should use Neoscene to convert the NEX files and then installed GoPro Studio to get the Cineform Sequence Preset on Premiere.

I´ve tried this with CS5.5 and it works flawlessly but I cannot seem to make this work with CS6. The Cineform Sequence Preset just doesn´t show up.

From another computer I´ve notice that CS5.5 has CINEFORM on:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5\Settings\SequencePresets
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5\Settings\Editing Modes

I don´t see it on CS6. I´m not sure if there are any other missing files. These 2 just come to mind right now.

I´ve tried copying these files manually but it didn´t work either.

Any thoughts?

I'm using GoPro Studio Premium.
All of the CF presets (2D and 3D) show up in both my CS6 and CS5.x versions of PPro
I'm guessing that maybe GoPro Studio didn't install properly into your CS6.
Try uninstall/reinstall the CF software, if you haven't done so already
My workflow for the NEX 7, NEX VG 20, and the RX100 is to use the Sony PMB software to import the footage into my system.
Those files can then be imported onto a PPro standard AVCHD 1920x1080 timeline preset.
I've had no problems so far with native format edits.
If I'm doing a long/complicated project, I'll import the footage into my computer using Sony PMB, then convert to CF format using Cineform HD Link, and edit on the appropriate CF timeline preset.

It´s not that. Cineform support said they don´t know if Neoscene will ever support CS6. GoPro Studio Premium does support it, but I wanted Neoscene.
