Hi, I just purchased the new Neo HDV software, and whenever I user the Cineform codec as export within my batch render in after effects I seem to run into issues but I think more on the Premier Pro 2.0 side. When I import the footage into the 24p HDV timeline in premier I only see about 3 seconds of the footage, although when I play it in media player or after effects there is 5 minutes of it. It seems not to accept the rest of the footage as if some option has been clicked off. Is this an issue anyone is familiar with?

Thanks in advance :)

Please someone if you could, this really limits my workflow right now because I am trying to perform some keying in after effects and really can't even export the footage correctly.

Could you elborate, I don't understand what is happening where. Also 24p HDV is not descriptive as that could be and M2T file or AVI, we will need to know which media types you are using.

Hi David, thanks for the response. Well basicaly the issues is this, when i capture my footage from my HV20 through HDLink it works just fine in Premier Pro 2.0, and when I export that footage with Premier Pro after editing it; works just fine as well. Now, when I take that footage, color correct it in After Effects 7.0 -> Then I add to que, Render with Cineform Codec that I got with my Neo HDV.

After that I import the rendered footage into Premier. And only about a sixth of that footage shows up in Premier. I can watch the exported video just fine with Media Player (all the 5 minutes of it) but Premier imports it only partialy about 30secs per every 5 minutes.

It's really frustrating and don't know whats happening.

Thanks.

Wow! This is weird. Could you upload one of those AVI exported from AE that has this problem?

When rendering from AE, are you using audio? We have a recent fix for audio, more recent than the latest builds. Were you using the Video for Windows CineForm HD Codec v3.2.x or using the direct "CineForm AVI" export module?

I know isn't it weird? :) I tried both ways, I've exported video for windows with the Cineform Codec 3.2.x as well as the direct Cineform codec itself, I do not have any audio in the footage as I have it in the Premiere timeline so I have no need for it in AE, it's weird because it just started happening. I was using ConnectHD and my trial ended, so I was like ok. And I bought Neo HDV and this happens :( what a bummer. Is there a way I can upgrade to Aspect HD because this has really just stopped my project from moving :( you know whats also weird. When I import the clip back into After Effects I see the whole 5 minutes of footage. It seems to be a problem between the encoding that after effects uses and the communication with Premiere.

btw tried to put in a ticket to support yesterday but it was down due to maintanance.

I'm going to need to see a file.

Aspect HD will give you a 15-day trial, so use that to keep moving.

Do you have some FTP for this purpouse, or should I use some free file hosting site?

Use yousendit.com or similar.

Hey David, can't thank you enough for your help. I'm uploading the file now.
Thank you. here is the link: http://download.yousendit.com/BFA569EF186EAE7A

damn can't use Aspect HD becuase my trial version has been expired. :( I never even used Aspect HD on my computer just ConnectHD, Stupid computer. I'm so happy there is no hammer near by.

Aspect HD doesn't use the Connect HD license, so that seems unlikely. Complete uninstall the old software first then it should work. So could also try Prospect HD.

I think the person who I bought this computer from has already used all of your products :( I'll try ProspectHD.

That video clip works fine here. It is about 10 seconds long in MediaPlayer, VirtualDub and Premiere. Is that correct?

Yeah that's correct David. If I import that clip into premier, I only se about 2 seconds of it and the rest is cut off :(

Maybe your crazy PC is licensed for only 2 second productions. ;) It does this with Prospect HD also?

I didn't try Prospect HD yet, even if that works though I can't really afford it. I had to sell a kidney in order to buy Neo HDV :) I can't even seem to find a good workaround, anything I export from After Effects seems to bug out in HDlink. :( I hate computers. And in any case Prospect HD might have already been used on my computer so I probably won't even be able to see it. And why doesn't After Effects export regular M2T's ? that's so frustrating. I'm gonna go sob in the corner now...

If Prospect HD works, Aspect HD will and NEO HDV should, they all share the same importer -- even NEO P;ayer installs a Premiere importer. No one has ever reported anything like it. Maybe you need to sell the other kidney for a different computer. :)

Hehe if I sell the other kidney I'll go blind :) I don't think it's an issue with the Premier at all, it's all within after effects. Is there a way for me to completely reset the export within after effects. like delete some reg files maybe and reinstall NeoHDV?

or what would be a good file to export form after effects and bring it into HDLink and save it as a cineform avi?

I can't recommmend anything as the file works here. You going to have to experiment.

OMG David you won't believe this. It's my after effects color correction preset. It's a preset from the VideoCopilot library and it is the culprit!!! :P Why is this happening only to me? :) But I don't understand why that preset could have broken anything with the export? Any ideas?

No idea. But I'm glad you found it.

Actually, don't laugh! for weeks I couldn't figure out why HDV capture in Premiere Pro wouldn't actually capture anything.

Turns out it was software from an HDTV capture device called HD Homerun. Took off that software and viola.... Premiere Captured again.

Yeah that's correct David. If I import that clip into premier, I only se about 2 seconds of it and the rest is cut off :(

Hi Dmitry,

I dowloaded the clip and it play correctly in Premiere 2,3, After Effects 7 and also in Vegas 7. I have installed the Cineform Aspect HD in expired trial mode only. Have you already tried to reinstal your PC completely?
