NeoScene Workflow Features

• OS Compatibility: Windows XP / Vista / 7 (32b or 64b); or Mac OS X 10.5 or later
• Files created: 10-bit CineForm Intermediate (4:2:2) with either AVI (Windows) or MOV (Mac) wrapper.
• Spatial resolution: Up to 1920x1080
• HD camera support: HDV, AVCHD, Canon 5D Mk II, Canon 7D, Canon 2Ti (see camera compatibility for more details)
• Chroma Interpolation: 4:2:0 → 4:2:2. Background: Most HDV and AVCHD camcorders record chroma (color) in a format known as 4:2:0. Without diving too deep, 4:2:0 chroma is half the color resolution of more professional 4:2:2 formats. When Neo Scene detects 4:2:0 chroma it properly interpolates the source chroma to 4:2:2 for more accurate color processing during editing and effects work. And if you ever "key" your material, CineForm’s chroma interpolation will substantially improve your resulting visual fidelity.
• NLE Compatibility:
  • - Windows: Adobe Elements, Adobe CS3/CS4/CS5; Sony Vegas or Movie Studio
  • - Mac: Apple Final Cut Pro or iMovie
  • - Avid Media Composer v5 (Win and Mac)
• File Compatibility: Because CineForm files use industry-standard AVI or MOV wrappers they are compatible with virtually any video application that supports standard interfaces, including from Adobe, Apple, Avid, Microsoft, and Sony.
• ProRes Support: (On Mac) Neo Scene will create ProRes files as the destination format if Final Cut Studio is installed.
• Image processing during conversion:
  • - telecine removal (24p extraction from 60i)
  • - deinterlacing (30p/25p from 60i/50i)
• After Effects: compatible through Video for Windows (Windows) or QuickTime (Mac) interfaces
• Sharing Media: CineForm offers a free decoder available for both Windows and Mac to allow you to easily share your CineForm media with others.
