David Newman · February 20th, 2011, 12:42 PM

This is the release version probably be officially released on Tuesday. As there is a holiday Monday, nothing is likely to change between now and then. Let us now if they are any big things broken, but I expect you will find this a very solid release.

Fixed: a Premiere CS5 crash. Which crash was fixed?

Thanks,

Leo

David Newman · February 20th, 2011, 07:00 PM

We found and fixed few issues with the Premiere plugins over the last few weeks, but I don't have details.

Axel Mertes · February 21st, 2011, 01:39 AM

Hi All,

I can only recommend that new build, the enhancements are well worth it. Boundaries have been pushed once more.

Congratulations to David & the Cineform team for this important build,

Axel

I am still gettingthe crash in Adobe Premeire pro using a Cineform preset using the latest RC. Reported it to Jake a few months ago.

I nest clips on my timeline, then I add a transition then Adobe Premiere pro cs5 crashes.

Faulting application name: Adobe Premiere Pro.exe, version: 5.0.3.0, time stamp: 0x4ce382d1
Faulting module name: CFRTPlayback.prm, version: 1.0.0.1, time stamp: 0x4d5f5c53
Exception code: 0xc0000417
Fault offset: 0x000000000002ba74
Faulting process id: 0x9b0
Faulting application start time: 0x01cbd2253669ad31
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe

Thanks,

We haven't yet looked into the nesting issue, I have also reproduced this. For now either don't nesting or use the desktop preset.

Ryan Gard · February 22nd, 2011, 03:29 AM

Please...PLEASE can we fix the nesting issue soon! I posted the bug many months ago and it adversely affects my workflow. The work-around causes major slow downs that would not be necessary if this one issue was fixed. I know I'm only one person, but this bug has to be the most detrimental that I have experienced in Cineform and my editor is really fed up with the issue. (I can understand why) I understand that features are the name of the game when it comes to software, but quality features are what keep customers happy.

David Newman · February 22nd, 2011, 01:25 PM

The nesting bug just went away (not a single code change on our end.)

Test now and fast if you want this in the pending release.

Unzip and replace in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5\Plug-ins\Common\CineForm

Ryan Gard · February 22nd, 2011, 02:14 PM

Okay, I will test tonight to see if it works.

Hello David,

I just tested nesting and adding transitions, all works perfect thank you! What was the fix?

Leo

David Newman · February 22nd, 2011, 03:02 PM

Adobe SDK, its sample code had the bug. Updated the SDK.

Leo Baker · February 22nd, 2011, 03:11 PM

That is great news! Thanks for the fix it's much appreciated.
