Upon source acquisition,
CineForm Intermediate™ or CineForm RAW™ files become the
online digital master throughout a project – from
acquisition, into long-term archive, through post, and
into final export. This is possible because CineForm
files offer the highest visual fidelity, easily holding
up to the rigors of a multi-generation or effects-heavy
workflow. CineForm
Intermediate files are source independent, allowing
conversion of varying media, from SD to HD to 4K, with
I/O precision up to 12 bits, and with 4:2:2 or 4:4:4
chroma. Variable frame-rate support, inverse telecine
processing, plus spatial and temporal resampling are but
a few of the optional source pre-processing options.
CineForm files are compatible across operating systems
and applications, offering the industry’s most versatile
and interoperable workflow, with support for both
Windows .AVI and QuickTime .MOV wrappers.
Throughout post,
CineForm’s compressed DI workflow frees you from
restrictions imposed by old-style proxy/conform
methodologies in which many required elements can only
be performed after a final conform.
|
When using a CineForm
workflow your media is always online, so you can color
correct or composite at any point in your project, or
deliver a high-resolution review copy or film festival
export on demand. Keying CineForm Intermediate files is
a breeze as color information is so accurately preserved
that key results are virtually identical to using
uncompressed sources.
Do you need to share files
or portions of a project with a client or others? No
problem – the CineForm decoder (Windows or Mac OS X) is
easy to download and install directly from CineForm’s
website.
Upon project completion,
the cross-platform compatibility of CineForm files makes
it easy to export to virtually any desired presentation
format, right from the timeline of your favorite NLE,
whether for film or digital projection, broadcast, or
Internet delivery. And because CineForm files are the
Digital Master, your completed project and associated
CineForm media are now ready for long-term project
archive.
Whether you are a
seasoned film or television professional, or are taking
your first step into HD, CineForm's software products
are designed for your post production needs.

Ushering in the era of
collaborative cross-platform workflows....
CineForm offers two
families of products, each offering an online compressed
Digital Intermediate workflow, each of which are built on top of the Visually
Perfect™ CineForm Intermediate codec, and each of which
enable cross-platform and cross-applications
compatibility
- NEO:
The NEO product family delivers a software
post-production environment compatible with most high-resolution
video/film applications on Windows and
Mac OS X,
including those from Adobe, Apple, Autodesk, Sony,
and others. NEO supports spatial resolutions from
HDV to 4K, I/O precision up to 12 bits, and numerous
format conversion features including inverse
telecine for 24p workflows and export compatibility
with RedCine. Features are similar on both platforms
whenever possible, and resulting CineForm files are
always compatible across platforms.
-
Aspect HD / Prospect HD / Prospect 2K / Prospect 4K: The
Aspect and Prospect family run on
Windows, and include all the features of NEO.
But in addition, Aspect and Prospect include
CineForm's real-time video processing engine for Adobe
Premiere Pro that delivers unmatched real-time,
multi-stream editing performance on the Premiere
Pro timeline that eliminates the need for rendering
for most common functions. CineForm's
real-time video engine is software-based, so it
scales fully with CPU performance and is never
limited in functionality as is common with
hardware-based architectures. Prospect HD/2K/4K
also include the CineForm QuickTime codec for Mac.
-
CineForm QuickTime Mac Codec:
A license to the CineForm QuickTime codec for Mac is included
with Neo HD/2K and Prospect HD/2K. a. For the first time, one purchase
gets you cross-platform and cross-applications
compatibility never before achievable. You can
create files on a Mac and move them to Windows, or
create files on Windows and move them to a Mac.
How did you move HD files before? You either
didn't, or you likely used uncompressed DPX files.
Say hello to distributed collaborative workflows
between Windows and Mac OS....
- NEO Player: CineForm offers a free non-expiring
universal decoder for both Windows and MacOS called NEO Player.
NEO Player installs a non-expiring CineForm decoder
that plays all
CineForm formats, including CineForm 444 and
CineForm RAW, plus both AVI and QuickTime (MOV)
files. NEO Player also includes
importers for both Premiere Pro and After Effects
(Windows only) to
allow full use of files or projects within these
applications. On Windows, NEO Player does not
include a CineForm encoder, so for projects
requiring rendering back to CineForm files you will
require either Aspect/Prospect or NEO products.
Neo Player for Mac includes a 15-day Trial of the
CineForm Mac Encoder.
