quicktime issues with Aspect HD5?
 

I opened a project created using aspect 4 and it fails to recognize my HD quicktime files that are in it? This can't be right. The files are marked as being offline and when I when I tried to mark them as on-line it says non-supported format or file is damaged. These are in Quicktime animation codec and 1920x1440. Worked fine in Aspect 4. Anyone?

Make sure you are using Aspect HD 5.0.1.82

I just checked and it is definitely the latest version that I have installed. It is only the trial, even though I own aspect HD 4.3 .

I tried importing quicktime HD files into a non-cineform preset and it still kicks it out. So I uninstalled Aspect 5 and rebooted and it now accepts quicktime HD files again. So I can say with 100% certainty that something that Aspect HD is doing is causing Premiere Pro 2.0 to not accept Quicktime HD files anymore....even when choosing a standard Adobe HD preset. I just updated quicktime and rebooted and still no go. Hoping there is a quick fix otherwise I guess I'll submit a trouble ticket.

Thanks,

I unisntalled AspectHD 5 and Premiere Pro imports HD quicktime files again. I then reinstalled aspect HD 5 and it won't. I uninstalled again and went back to Aspect 4.3 and it is working normally again.

I submitted a trouble ticket through the Cineform site and hope someone can help. This is just weird.

It is a bug that has been fixed which I thought was in build 82. If not it will be in the next build. You can just remove the CFQTImporter.prm component from Premiere's plug-ins folder to get MOV functions under AHD v5.

Thanks! I will try that and it will at least let me see if there are any performance advantages to aspect 5 in Premiere Pro.

More quality advantages than performance upgrades.

huh???? I'm not sure what you are saying. Can you clarify?

Aspect HD v5 has many enhancements but speed was already pretty good so we didn't focus on that. Many bonuses HDSDI/HMDI injest, Qiucktime support for wider compatibility and a new codec engine for higher quliaty.

I see you edited your original post and it makes perfect sense now too.

So does Aspect HD only support AJA or would any SDI card do the trick? I have an XL-H1 and as of now, I do too much field recording to make use of the SDI output. However I do look forward to the day that I can ingest it using Aspect HD. What exactly do I need? Barebones....absolute minimum?

Thanks.

Any Blackmagic Decklink card or AJA Xena card will work through HDLink for 1440x1080 capture. You should seriously consider Prospect HD for and XL-H1 as it will show the benefits of 1920x1080 live capture. For Prospect HD we recommend the AJA Xena line as you can also timeline monitor with them.
