  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Cineform?

Gabriele, we posted Build 58 last week. Please uninstall Build 56, then install Build 58 and try again.

If you continue to have problems, please reply to my PM so we can work through this with you off-board.

David,

I am experiencing the same problem as Gabriel, even with Build 58... Any pointers?:wacko:
 
Luis, I think Gabriele got it to work by two things: 1) making sure our Build 58 was installed, and 2) rendering files to CineForm MOV using Build 58.

The background on the latter point is that to support Active Metadata requires a specific syntax in the file structure. That structure has existed for files created on Windows for about a year, and on Mac only since Build 56.

I don't recall the origination of your files, but make sure they meet these parameters. BTW, if your files originated on Windows, and are less than about a year old, you should be able to rewrap as MOV and have them work properly.

If that description fits your files and you think AM should work, then we should probably take a look at a couple of your files and see if we can see what the problem is.

Working now!!!:sarcasm: However, I still have a question: how can we use AM with FCP (as you showed at NAB) if the clip stop playing when you open AM at the same time FMP is open and using it?:usd:
 
Luis, start playing your clip in QT Player. Then bring the AM applet into foreground focus. You can manipulate the AM data while observing the changes being displayed in QT Player.
 
David,

Yes, I realized that after posting my question. This is awesome...:sorcerer: Would this work same way in Mac PPro CS3?
 
Yes, although we haven't released an importer yet for PPro on Mac. But the clips should play fine in PPro-Mac with Active Metadata using the same AM panel.

You'll even be able to move the color database between Win and Mac for shared cross-platform workflows. This basically works today although we haven't documented the porting procedure yet.
 
David,

Just tried it, and it works same way as in FCP...!!! :love:

In another related topic, why MOV files in Mac PPro need to be rendered? I thought that any MOV in a Mac application will not need it...:waaa:
 
Are you referring to the red render line in PPro-Mac? If so, it's simply PPro's way of telling you that there is not importer installed for the codec on the timeline. PPro will still play as fast as it can (even with the red line), but it won't let you do any transitions, effects, etc without rendering. We'll get around to doing an importer for PPro-Mac one of these days. We've been focusing on PPro-Windows and FCP-Mac as the first two.
 
Funny... Redline with a MOV file, but cannot export AVIs...:glare:
