CineForm
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 equipment.
Step 1: Acquire content directly into
CineForm files (AVI or MOV), or else convert existing camera/file formats into
CineForm files. Your CineForm files become your new masters - your
original footage can be archived.
Step 2: With Neo,
Aspect, or
Prospect family products installed, you are ready to begin online
post-production using Premiere Pro/After Effects, Final Cut Pro/Motion,
Combustion, Vegas, Speedgrade, and many other industry-standard software
products. No proxy files, no conforming, and no specialized hardware is ever
required, even at spatial resolutions up to 4K! Your CineForm files are
cross-platform (Windows/Mac) and cross-applications compatible.
Step 3: For distribution you simply render
from your CineForm project master to your preferred distribution format (such as
MPEG2, h.264, MPEG4, VC1, etc) using your NLE or effects software. For
recording to tape through HD-SDI you can playout your CineForm project using
Prospect HD/4K with Adobe Premiere Pro and an AJA Xena card on Windows (Final
Cut Pro coming). For digital projection you should use CineForm files for best
visual fidelity unless your projection requires DCI compliance.
Using a CineForm workflow:
-
"Normalize” myriad camera, tape, and file formats into CineForm AVI or MOV files
which become your new digital master -
Remove telecine (24p from 60i), de-interlace, 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 –
except smaller.
-
Compatible cameras includes: HDV, AVCHD, XDCam
HD/EX, DVCPro HD, HD-SDI
-
File compatibility includes: uncompressed, DPX,
Infinity J2K MXF (coming), R3D (coming), and many others
