Neo Scene -- various topics

Chad,

I have the Dell xps with the same processor. I had huge problems capturing and hd link would not work either.

I cleared it off, got the dell guys to take out conflicting background programs and that seemed to resolve my issues. (for now at least)

It now captures with all tools and HD Link works fine. Just wrapping my my first project using cineform.

I have a Dell i7, Vista 64 currently on order.
Do you recall what sort of Dell "background" programs were causing a conflict with CF? I'm currently using Prospect HD.
I was hoping this transition was going to be smooth, but I guess it never really is.

I read that Neo Scene is a good tool to help edit HDV, so I downloaded the latest trial version of Neo Scene two days ago. I did a capture from my HV30 (HDV footage), opened Premiere Elements 3.0, created a project and added all of the Cineform intermediate AVI files. PE3 stopped responding after I tried to add the files. I allowed Windows to close the application and I rebooted the computer, and now PE3 will NOT start. I double click the icon, the PE3 splash screen comes up, and I immediately get a "Adobe Premiere Elements.exe stopped working" error message.

I'm using a Dell E520, Intel Core 2 Duo (2.13GHz), 2GB SDRAM and Vista Home Premium. Video is on external USB HDD.

How can I make PE3 work again???

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Ron, that is a support question. I have not heard of this as Elements is a supported application.

Robert, a bit off topic but there is a thread somewhere around here where at least one model of Dell is giving lots of grief with the esata port. At least three folks have reported issues. Two of them are unresolved, even after having hardware replaced.

I, not too long ago, found Dell lower end units to be too unreliable and got back into building my own.

I'm only posting this so that after you receive your unit you cannot say you cannot say "Why didn't anyone say something to me before!".

You may be fine, but be forwarned. If you have issues early on and can't get them resolved quickly then you should return the unit and go with something else. Good luck, hopefully yours will be fine.

David, thanks for taking the time to view these posts! I sent the inquiry to support at Cineform dot com and I'm getting help with it. BTW, other people at muvipix.com have reported similar problems with Neo Scene, but I don't know if they asked for help with it.

I'm converting my 5D Mark II footage with Neoscene, but I get a file that judders as if it's under a strobe light. Any suggestions?

I used to own aspect HD (and removed it)

Jeff McCutcheon · April 4th, 2009, 03:53 PM

scratch that, just upgraded my video card and it works now.

Phillip Shaka · April 4th, 2009, 09:06 PM

Quick question. I recently purchased Neo Scene, and downloaded the newest version 113. But I cant seem to convert any other file type but the MTS from my HF10. I get an error saying file type not supported when I try to convert mpeg4, mt2s, mov. Am I doing somthing wrong? or does Neoscene only support MTS??

David Newman · April 4th, 2009, 09:31 PM

While Neo Scene doesn't support everything NEO HD does, it does support 99% of AVCHD and HDV sources. If you are having issues, please contact support. Of course, try an uninstall, then reinstall, it might fix it for you.

Phillip Shaka · April 16th, 2009, 08:02 AM

I have tried Uninstalling and installing it. Still it wont convert any other file but mts to avi. But on the cine form site it say it supports other formats. I know that Neo HD Supports everthing. I dont know what else i could be doing wrong. Has anyone run into an issue like this?

I need Neo Scene's functionality to fix the frame blending problem for the Canon 5DMkII, but I also use the Sony EX1, and Vegas 8.0(c). Is there a Cineform product that is complementary for both cams at once?

Neo HD version 4.0 is what you need. It is in beta now, released next week.

Kent Jakusz · April 21st, 2009, 06:45 PM

I have read the majority of this thread and I am very confused. My problem is that I have a CAnon 5D Mk2 and I am unable to get useable video from it. I presume that the Cineform software is able to transform footage from the 5D into a NLE program at a very high quality but I am unable to determine what the workflow might be. My computer is a iMac with a 2.16 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo operating on Mac OSX 10.5.6, my editing program is Adobe Premier Pro CS4 and I would like to publish to either a DVD or Blue Ray. Your comments and advise will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Kent

Hello,

Since there is loads of questions in here might as well put my question in here.

Software is:

Neo Scene 1.2 build 113
Prem CS4 4.1

Source footage is from the Z1E (1440*1080 1.33) - I'm new to CS4 and Neo.

When I export my uncompressed video the aspect ratio isnt correct and not sure why?
