New Beta (all products.) Hopefully final.

We where planning to release all new versions this week, but now that the weekend is upon us, please treat the builds as beta for now. If you aren't it a middle of a time sensitive project press give the new version a go. Un-install old CineForm software first (do not deactivate, these will use your old license.)

Here is the complete product line up (including the new NEO 4K.)

Ok David what one does the 4k neo mean 4k Prospect soon?
Do I need to update?
Rumor running that one may do Redcode to CF, what one?(neo 4k)
Point me "o guru of video goodness"...

[David Newman]

Prospect 4K is coming. Specs are not released yet.

[David Taylor]

Yes Salah, if Prospect 2K or Neo 2K/4K are installed on the machine with RedCine you can export from RedCine to CineForm 444 - we consider it Beta at this point. David Newman offered specific details in a post on RedUser which I won't re-post here.

I installed it but on playback my video was scrambled. I didn't trouble-shoot anything really, I just went back to 5.1 and it works fine again.

Hello,
i have an issue while testing this new beta version of AHD, i can't play (source monitor and in the timeline) some old materials .avi CF files.
i'm under vista with CS3 and when importing a old cineform avi (i think that was created with Aspect HD5.0, perhaps 4.3, i can't remember).

when i clic play, there is nothing that comes, the cursor stay inactive.
it works with some recent avi (i remember ASHD5.1) on the same timeline.

i reversed back to Aspect 5.1.2 and it works again..

Cedric,

that is weird one, and nothing should have changed for file compatibilty. Could you please upload a clip that behaved this away. Thank you.

[Hernan Vilchez]

Ive had no previews (green screens, frozen frames, clip without effect) since installing build 95. this havent changed with 95a. never happened before. reinstalling b92 doesnt change the situation.

tried clean uninstall. next step i imagine is reformatting c: (and losing time) and reinstalling b92. no other clue given from support...

if somebody experiencing problems with playback in the timeline while applying effects or opacity changes with aspect b95, please tell so.

my experience is not good at all with the new beta versions of Aspect. are they buggy or its just my system?

[David Newman]

Hernan,

Sorry, at the moment it just seems like your system. I can only continue to point you to support. Have you tried a restore point?

[Cedric Pottier]

Hi David,
i have uploaded a file that reproduce the issue regarding the play that doesn't work. sorry for the size (~600Mo)

http://www.cedricoradio.com/nini/ladefense2nuit.avi

create a CF project with aspect 5.2 beta and import the file.
it should do not play in the source monitor and in the timeline.

hope this will help.

Cedric.

[David Newman]

Cedric,

That clip plays fine here. Uninstall and reinstall Aspect HD 5.2, then reboot (just in case.) Then in the start menu under CineForm/Tools select "Register Components" (which can fix some issues.) Please report back.

[Carl Middleton]

I've seen this 'green video' effect once, on a nested composition, time reversed and slow mo'd, with heavy color correction and grading.

Could it be you aren't setting aside enough RAM for preview in playback settings, or a similar RAM issue or somesuch?

David, i have reinstalled, reboot..., and register again the components and nothing has changed under Vista. it does not play.
Now, on my current project, the CF transition (dissolve for example) does not work ! i can scrube and see it but it does a cut when playing...

I have tested under my Xp pro and Premiere CS3 crash everytime when opening a CF project. I have reversed back to 5.1.2

sorry to bother you

Cedric

[David Newman]

Please work with support as none of this makes any sense, other than Vista which can still cause random problems. You XP setup must be simply broken, as 99% of our users are on XP, that should be easier for support to address.

Try moving that AVI to the root on your media drive, no sub-directories, does the file play then?

[Paolo Brambilla]

All is working fine here.
