Hi everyone,
I have just started using Cineform Adpect HD codec and when exporting a HD project from AE to SD I get heavy color lines on the video.

Basically I capture w/ Aspect HD my footage 1280*720 24p
Edit in Premiere pro
CC in AE
Export in AE from 1280*720 (24p) to 720*576 (25p).
When playing back the avi files in the authoring tool Encore DVD I get all sorts of color lines on the video.

I don;t have that issue when exporting directly from Ppro using the export movie functionality and the cineform codec! I do export to 25p 720*576 while my footage is in 1280*720 (24p).

Any idea what I am doing wrong? Would it be a pixel aspect ratio problem?! It only happens in AE!

Alsp when trying to export my footage in .mov in AE cineform says I don't have the codec installed?! Strange has I just bought ASPECT HD? But this is another issue!

Is the distortion only in Encore or also in mediaplayer? Seems like a question for support.

Hi David,
I don't have that issue when reading the output w/ other players like quicktime player or other.
It looks like an issue with progresive being read as interlaced fields.

Please send screen shots to support -- login at www.cineform.com/support.

I got your support ticket. It looks like the CineForm importer wasn't being used in Encore. Just copy it (im-CFHD_File_Import.prm) from the Premiere Plugins folder to the Encore folder and it should work. If not, just let me know on the ticket.

Hi all,
Thanks so much for your prompt reply and support, it's working perfectly now!
Great! Thanks
