Some questions about Aspect HD

Brent Graham · May 3rd, 2007, 07:27 PM

I'm a proud owner of your V4...Love this program. Wouldn't enjoy my Canon A1 without it.

I'm gonna upgrade to V5 before August. But for now, I'm wondering what the slow-mo addition is about. How's that work? There isn't much info on your website.

Would I get anything usable from 24f? Or does it take 60i HDV and turn it into 60p DV?

It sounds cool, so I wanna know more!

Thanks,
B

So do I. What are you referring? Slow motion support is the same between v4 and v5.

Having just installed V5 I am getting an error message as PP 1.5.1 starts up, it's a direct X issue, tells me it can't find libguide40.dll and I have no playback on the timeline within prem pro.

All was fine with 4.3, I uninstalled it before loading in V5

Frank Pitsikalis · May 4th, 2007, 09:01 AM

I had the EXACT same problem. I copied the libguide40.dll (from \Program Files\Commion Files\Cineform) into the Premiere 1.5 directory (\Program Files\Adobe\Premiere Pro 1.5) and it allowed PPro to start up without the error message.

Once in Premiere though, the playback was FUBAR (<space> and <enter>) did nothing.

I could scrub the timeline manually by dragging the Current Time Indicator but that got old real quick.

As I just suffered a month of not being able to resolve an issue with Cineform Support on my Windows x64 machine I went out and bought a new box based on XP SP2 (32-bit) to get running again.

Seeing the announcement about V5 I thought I would do a fresh install with that. You can imagine my immense frustration after a clean install of Windows and PPro 1.5.1 to be back to having unusable issues with Aspect HD with PPro.

I have uninstalled V5 and installed the latest version of V4 and I'm finally editing again!

David: Is this a known issue with a quick fix?

David Newman · May 4th, 2007, 09:14 AM

We haven't heard of this, but we will be investigating.

Brent Graham · May 4th, 2007, 05:52 PM

I guess I thought is was some speed ramping filter, or option.

But maybe it just means that it works even when I slow my footage down?

Ian Savage · May 7th, 2007, 02:46 AM

Well I followed the handy guide above to get rid of the error message, worked a treat so many thanks for that :-)

Then seeing as V5.0.1 is out I thought I'd give it a go, so I uninstalled V5, installed V5.0.1 and low and behold I have playback on the timeline now so whatever is in the new release solves the problem.

Hi,
I know it is not officially offering. But is there any chance to upgrade from Aspect HD to NEO 2K? We've got two Aspect HD licencies (we even upgraded from 3.x to 4.x) and I'll be happy to have a chance to swap them both for NEO 2K with some bonus. We do not need Prospect realtime funcionality, NEO 2K seems to be far enough for our post workflow. So, is there a chance?
Thanks for answer

Jaromir,

Yes we can work something out with you. Please send me a separate email at dtaylor at cineform dot com

Hi!....

When I try to install Aspect 5, it gets about 1/2 way then says CANNOT FIND PLUGIN FOLDER.

I had CS3 installed at one time but it is long gone. How can I get this to work? I have to export a file today.

Thanks

Stacy

David Newman · May 17th, 2007, 08:55 AM

Yes installing CS3 will break CS2 for any further upgrades. Here is the patch

Aspect HD came installed on my computer when it was delivered from the vendor.

I have a serial number, and an activation key, but I have no installation CD.

I want to download recent updates (I'm at vers. 4.1.3 build 61 now) and want to get to the latest version of 4.X.

I've downloaded the updated zip file, but have not installed it yet.

I've been told to uninstall my current version, then run the zip. My concern is if something goes wrong, or I want to return to the old version. Without an installtation CD, how would I do that?

And, is the zip file a complete install that will work with my current activation key and/or serial number? Or, is the zip simply an update/patch to my existing version? If the zip messes something up, I'll have nothing to use, and I don't want to have to pay for Aspect a second time.

Help/advice from others who've been successful with the Cineform update process is invited.

David Newman · May 17th, 2007, 06:04 PM

The zip contains a full install, it will use your existing activation, so as long as you don't request a deactivation (why should you?) you will be fine. You vendor should have given you a CD, but in the unlikely event you wanted build 61, we can get that for you.

Denis Danatzko · May 17th, 2007, 06:40 PM

my vendor is 4videoequipment. Henry says he is a big fan of your products, and could get it for me, too, if I needed it.

THANKS.

Denis Danatzko · May 17th, 2007, 07:18 PM

Also, before the uninstall, Start/Programs had a ccneForm item. That is no longer there.

How do I get HDLink back?
