what would this help?
The workflow for Mac and Assimilate is in place.

"A" workflow for Mac and Assimilate is in place.

What other camera system only has one workflow? XDCam works in Final Cut, Vegas, AXIO, etc. If I end up to editing a project shot on Red, you can bet your life that I will not be using a Mac. That would be the first issue. Then there are people you like using Premiere, people who don't want to pay for Scratch, people who want to skip the offline process, etc. The are many reasons and ways that this would help.

Variety and selection are the basis of competition, which is almost always to the benefit of the end user. I for one, am all for Cineform going 4K.
 
Can David Newman Post?
Hes really been silent.
 
good to see and hear from you.
 
now explain why.

Sorry, I don't really understand the question. CineForm is just an alternative workflow, for those who don't need want to use either a Mac or Scratch finishing system. We aren't necessarily a better solution, just less expensive for those on a tight budget.

That is the question.
How can you , do it better?
 
Cineform also has an RGB wavelet codec, which Redcode is not. So Cineform can be used as an intermediate, i.e. you can make composites or do baked on color correction and encode into cineform. In Redcode Raw that wouldn't make sense.

How might I use cineform in a FCP + Redcine world David?

I figure CF is behind the times vs. the red codec

Ian, Mac stuff is being tweaked daily. At 2K 4:4:4 we are there now, it is the 4K stuff under FCP that is a little tricky. The NEO 4K for Mac is about to come out, allow 4K compositing work using the CineForm codecs. It will get better and better with time, although our primary 4K efforts will be under CS3 on the PC.

I understand that. I'm really a newbie at Cineform so can you just give me a basic introduction if I'm an FCP user. I'm cutting Redcode proxies and conforming them using homebrew scripts at the moment.
