Please post any issues on this thread. Thanks.

Thank you for the second monitor support! it even works better than the PC, realtime playback with sound.

Everything smooth so far.

One issue found so far is that a side-by-side 3d decode to 2vuy (QuickTime, FirstLight main screen or FCP with 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 source) does crash.

New updated version.

Fixes a problem with crash on side-by-side viewing of 422 files.
Fixes dark frames rending single eye from 422 stereo files.
Fixes the 4444 encode problems when encoding from Animation codec.

These links are broken.

When exporting to Cineform (Neo HD) from After Effects with this beta, the result is brighter. When converting the same clip from REmaster everything is ok. Footage is from Canon 5D. No filtering selected in Remaster and settings in AE are: 16Bit Project, trillion color with quality slider to 100.

I'm also wondering why there's no MOV exporter from AE? I know David said it was not necessary but why make different export option within the same suite of software. There's an exporter in Premiere but in After Effect the Quality slider to 100 is "Filmscan 2" and 0 is "LOW"...

The new beta links are broken.

Exporting from AE is odd at best. We have some patches to the codec configuration file that will at least tell AE that the codec would like the material in 16-bit RGBA. AE exporter sees that and will give you the option of "Trillions+" colors. Unfortunately, it then opens the QuickTime encoder with for an 8-bit 4:2:2 encode. The Apple QuickTime interface then converts whatever AE passes into 8-bit 4:2:2 data before passing it to the encoder.

Looking into the links..

Is this the patch you are refering to?

When i added these tags to MediaCoreQTCodecRulesCS5.xml i could select trillion +. Thanks to David N for the info.

Will there be a solution to the brightness issue when exporting from AE? It was fine on the PC before.

Links should be working now. If you get the "Page Not Found" message, clear your browser cache.

I am really enjoying the external monitor support guys.

Thanks for all the info Craig. I don't really understand your post about the export issue within AE. It's a little much for me to grasp... Are you saying that exporting from AE is really 8bit contained in a 10bit file?

Is the issue fixable or do we have to forget about exporting Cineform from AE?

It is fixable. On the PC it was fixed by only presenting the 16-bit 'b64a' pixel format as supported. This is not possible on the Mac, since FCP requires '2vuy' as the first pixel format. The fix does need to come from Adobe. We had the same problem with the AJA stereo encoder, and fixed that. We also saw the same thing with RedCine, and worked with the engineers at Red to solve it as well.

In FirstLight the "contrast" slider and all "gamma" sliders don't work under "primaries". (gamma, red, blue and green).

All the other controls work fine.

Today's update.

Fixed a couple of memory leaks in FirstLight stereo mux.
Double checked the contrast and gamma controls.

The "contrast" and "gamma" sliders now work but the masking issue on YUV footage is back. Weird grey bars show up again

Is there any recommendable way to update neo 3d?

I'm always worried about losing my active metadata & db.

There was an old build on the mac that accidentally removed active metadata, the was fixed a long time ago. But active metadata is important to keep safe, so I recommend using dropbox.

Craig, please confirm as the Mac expert.

The default LUTs folder which is the default location for the active metadata databases is saved by both the uninstall and install scripts. If you are worried, you can also make a copy of the LUTs folder /Library/Application Support/CineForm/LUTs before doing an upgrade.

You should be making backups of this folder, anyway.
