More and more changes, running out of 4.0.x numbers

Here are the changes for Prospect 4K v4.0.9.219, not all features apply to other products but all those relavant do.

Added: support for alternative LUT paths for First Light manipulations
Added: First Light autosync function to help find the last clip played in any other tool.
Added: Support for new "lossless" mode coming soon to SI-2K cameras.
Added: 8-bit encode mode for CS4 for slightly faster exports.
Enhanced: some more speed for YUV 4:2:2 decodes with Premeire CS4.
Enhanced: High dynamic range processing for 32-bit float CS4 exports.
Enhanced: CFRepair to work with the original SI-2K files (2006 vintage.)
Enhanced: CFRepair to generate new GUIDs.
Fixed: Some progressive sources in CS4 importing as interlaced.
Fixed: Audio Sync error for 5D sources.
Fixed: 64-bit decodes for enhanced demosaicing filters.
Fixed: the RegisterComponents utility which wasn't working on every system.
Fixed: 59.94p sources showing as 60p in CS4.
Fixed: exporting to 48kHz from 44.1kHz sources in CS4.
Fixed: QuickTime 444 exports not working in FirstLight for active metadata.
Fixed: QuickTime exports form Avid Media Composer.
Fixed: First Light enabling a disabled look file when importing a clip.
Fixed: HDSDI ASIO driver output to AJA cards that was causing audio glitches on export.
Fixed: Combustion QuickTime rendering with a different GUID in each frame.

Likely more stuff. Definitely worth the download.

Did y'all make a place in CS4 where the 8/32 encodes could be toggled? I don't see it anywhere. Is the ability to change the setting part of the RTE?

A screenshot would be helpful... :D

Thanks,
Matt

David Newman · August 7th, 2009, 08:47 PM

It is at the bottom of the AME "CineForm AVI Export" parameters. Below width and height and aspect ratio. Hiding.

Matt Vanecek · August 8th, 2009, 09:04 AM

On my system I see the Maximum Bit Depth checkbox for the "Cineform MOV File" export, but not for the "Cineform AVI File" export. Do I need to do something special to make it show up?

Thanks,
Matt

David Newman · August 8th, 2009, 09:15 AM

Adobe is caching the previous state, (grumble, grumble) delete the preset that adobe has automatically created for you when you use AVI export.

Matt Vanecek · August 8th, 2009, 01:23 PM

The latest build messed up the audio again, on CFHD exports. With 8-bit, it's a modulating buzz. With max bit depth, there is no audio.

Thanks,
Matt

David Newman · August 8th, 2009, 01:42 PM

Try restarting as that makes no sense, the audio functions are Adobe's, we just put in the file what Premiere gives us. My export tests have been fine in both modes.

Matt Vanecek · August 8th, 2009, 04:21 PM

It's an issue from a while back, which I had a trouble ticket on and was fixed by Cineform. I'll try restarting, and if that doesn't fix it, open another trouble ticket.

thanks,
Matt

Matt Vanecek · August 8th, 2009, 11:42 PM

Nope, audio is still messed up. I'll open a trouble ticket tomorrow, and go back to build 217.

Thanks,
Matt

I'm getting what sounds like the same thing on the audio, but only when using the project trimmer. I can export timeline in CF and other formats fine. The video in trimmed projects is fine, but the audio is just a buzz. The same behaviour on XP 32 and Win7 64 with Prospect 4K. I've been getting this on every build of 4K so far. What could cause it?

David Newman · August 9th, 2009, 09:09 AM

In the Export Movie, select "CineForm AVI File", and press the delete icon on preset line. All these old behaviors can be caused by bad values cached in presets.

Ian Lewis · August 9th, 2009, 10:07 AM

Is that a CS4 setting? Dumbo here can't find what you mean in CS3...

David Newman · August 9th, 2009, 10:13 AM

Everyone please use support, to report issues, as I can't keep it straight what product you are using. When someone comments on a CS4 experince I assume they are also using CS4. Thought support now of this confusion happens.

My virus scanner did report a Virus in your file, you may want to check that and post a clean version:

Virus: HEUR/Crypted
Type: AHeAD Heuristic special detection

Update to Prospect HD v4.0 Build 219a: http://www.cineform.com/downloads/Pr...19a-090810.zip (39MB)

David Newman · August 13th, 2009, 03:06 PM

Thorsten,

We will run a virus scan, but all the reports have been false in the past. There are some virus checkers that mistake the protection software for a virus.
