I've got an issue with getting files made in NEO HD/ HD Link to work in Premiere. Footage is from a Sony Z1. I've used Connect HD in the past, then deactivated it since I was rebuilding my computer, then we were working in Vegas.

Basically, I've installed the demo version of NEO HD (and NEO PLAYER) and I'm trying to work with it. When I open Premiere there's no preset for the (1920x1080 30p film scan 1 square pixel) files that I've created, so I made a custom one. Still when I drag a file in, rendering is required, so obviously it's not a perfect custom preset. There appears to be no Cineform capture option built in, it's like Premiere Pro 2 can't see that the software is installed. Am I missing a plug-in, or what? I need a solution that will work across computers because I'm the DP and this needs to go to the director's computer.

You need Aspect HD or Prospect HD/2K for the functionality you are requesting. The NEO products are standalone tools that offer codec level support to a wide range of applicatons. Aspect / Prospect offers HD enchanced for Premiere Pro in particular, including preset, capture interfaces, timeline acceleration, real-time filters and transitions.

Were I to download Aspect/Prospect in a trial version would the Premiere Pro tools remain after the 15 day trial period, giving us time to do the movie, or would I need to purchase Prospect/Aspect to continue using the tools beyond the original 15 days?

Here is the page where all the trial downloads are available : http://www.cineform.com/products/Downloads/Downloads.htm

You would need to purchase after 15-days if you wish to continue using our software.

Thank you very much.
