Enhances and Simplifies Your Post-Production Workflow....
CineForm software simplifies the work of
editors and effects artists through post-production by converting myriad
camera and file formats into a common AVI or MOV format ("CineForm
Intermediate") that offers visual fidelity and performance that exceeds
native source formats. The result of using a
CineForm-based post workflow is higher visual quality for your finished
project, yet with reduced investment of labor and expense
-
"Normalize” myriad camera, tape, and file formats into CineForm AVI or MOV files as your new digital master
Telecine removal (24p from 60i), de-interlacing, spatial resampling, plus many more pre-processing features
Up to 4K spatial
resolution, 12-bit precision, plus 4:2:2, 4:4:4:4, and Raw chroma
formats Converted files are Windows and Mac compatible: Premiere Pro, After Effects, Vegas, Final Cut Pro, Motion, etc. -
Post-production is always "online"
meaning you edit the CineForm master files – no proxy files or
conforming CineForm files are visually equivalent to using uncompressed files – but smaller.

Recommended update | Some Recent Quotes/Articles |  Why CineForm Rules Supreme.... We wouldn't normally lead with such a tagline as we try to exude a bit of humility, but our customer Richard Leadbetter (writer, technologist, developer, and principal at Digital Foundry) strokes our ego with his blog describing the high visual fidelity of CineForm Intermediate:
"...Impressive eh? ... It's all the more impressive considering the chosen subject matter ... CineForm copes easily with any eventuality. No other codec I've tested can."
