Using Vista 64 and no go.

Hi Gil, yes you use the adobe media encoder you do a export to media then the media encoder will open. And there is where you select cinefom.avi or mov the set you settings. I hope it works for you.

No first light either vista/64

I can not use firstlight with vista64 Ultimate.
My computer is i7 920, 12gigDDR3 x1600mhz.
I also have no presets in media encoder.

Also was just capturing with HDlink... and my computer restarted for no reason.
Will check the boot logs and come back with more info.

HI Gary you need to redown load the beta the first one was missing the exporter. Good luck getting it to work I have not gotten any clips all the way thru

Thanks.
Ill try and let you know how I get on.

Exports are wroking fine for me so far since I downloaded the latest version.

Firstlight gives the following errors.

What are your export settings? Are your files captured with hdlnk cineform files?

HI Bruce.
My files are captured with HDLink High Quality from my Z1 and converted to CHFD.
Export settings are..
Cineform 1440x 1080 29.97fps 1.33333 PAR

All cinefrom transition and color correction presets work for me too as I did a try of them all.

Oh so your not converting to SD 720x480 wide? What encoder are you going to use Encore?try out putting to SD 720x480 Ntsc wide Lowerthirds!

So any new updates on this? It seems to me that there are enough issues occuring for many users that I should avoid this particular release unless someone tells me otherwise.
I'd love to try it but cannot afford more headaches troubleshooting more issues.

The full release of prospect 3 was giving me errors importing .m2t files in CS3.

The beta of 4.0 seemed to have fixed that but now I cannot import DV Avi files into CS3.

I was hoping the new beta would fix that but hearing horror stories of people crashing premiere every other mouse click is really giving me reason to hesitate. Any ideas?

For those of you with First Light troubles (CLR20r3 error) please email me so we can troubleshoot and get it working for you!

Will you help me troubleshoot even if I'm using Windows 7?

I actually tried installing the .NET Framework and it didn't even seem to install, assumingly because it's pre-loaded into Windows 7 but I'm unsure.

Craig,

.NET Framework 3.5.1 is installed with Windows 7. Navigate "Programs and Features", then select "Turn Windows features on or off". You'll see it listed there.

Regards,
Glenn

Seems I might be upgrading from Neo to Prospect HD! Need to check the presets fix the jerky issue though.

PC isnt slow though!

Quad Core 2.1 AMD
4GB ECC memory (Another 4GB on order)
150GB 10k RPM SATA OS
2*400GB 7.2k RPM SATAs RAID 0 - Media files
750GB 7.2k SATA scratch disc

Hi guys

Need some advice... Since the PC I use to for CS3 & 4 is a dual prossessor, thought I would go out today and buy another PC. I then also then have a fresh install of all software that I hope will solve my Prospect HD drama, becuase I cannot even use the export. All I can do is use HDlink.

What middle of the road system should I get including graphics card?

Thanks

Gil
