  • 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 :)

workflow news???

Cineform blew me away

Cineform blew me away

$2,000 gets you Cineform HD. It is PC only at this point and requires a fast quadcore and a Xena card and makes 4K files that edit natively in Premeire.
Yes you have to convert your R3D files but the conversion process is fast, about 10 FPS. It maps pixel for pixel in 4K so converting to 4K Cineform is faster than down converting to a 2K Cineform file. It does not read QuickTime proxies so you can convert everything you shoot or you can use Quicktime on a Mac to look at the proxies and cull out all the takes you think you may need in your edit and then only convert them to save space and perhaps time. But the most fantastic part is that you can really edit 444 4K in real time, using the xena card to output to an HD-SDI monitor. Edit, grade, color correct even use plug ins and effects. I sat through a lengthy demo of Red footage and was blown away. Of course there's always Scratch at 30K.

Get the fuck outta here...Did you guys see this with your own eyes and get a peek what was really under the hood?

Oh wella, let me think about that...


Anymore news? So this Cineform HD is a new product? Cant see it mentioned on their site. Was it working with R3D files 13 th version generated?

I am still trying to digest it. It was posted in 'Crimson available for Download' thread. Does anyone know anything more. :holloween:
 
Well I am pouring myself a glass of wine now, I make a toast to us all here and at NAB and this great news! Thanks for bringing it to us...

Cheers Boys!
 
We definitely need some more info on Cineform HD. There is no info at the moment on Cineform website.
 
Speedgrade

They also have speed grade set up and I will demo it tomorrow. Cineform HD will also allow sppedgrade to work with the 4K Cineform files. I'll be going to the Red User party/workflow event tomorrow night. Will anything even touch Cineform HD? Stay tuned.

By the way, I misspoke about the Scratch price. I was quoted $70,000 for full
version. It's Scratch Cine that's 30K.
 
Sheltie Guy, thank you for the nice comments. As a clarification you saw Prospect 4K in action - I'm not sure where the term CineForm HD came from.

Also, per our Agreement with Red, we are not yet shipping our conversion tool, nor have we announced when we will ship, although we hope in the not-too-distant future.

As an old Prospect user and early Prospect 4k buyer i look forward for that day to come soon.
Unfortunately Red's push marketing priorities delayed a bit the release of build 16.
