Cineform NEO Scene for Windows

Cineform NEO Scene for Windows - N2041DL

Hollywood producers rely on CineForm file formats for their editing and archive workflows because CineForm offers:

• the highest visual fidelity achievable, and
• the fastest real-time editing performance

You see, camera formats are designed for recording, not editing. With Neo Scene you will convert your difficult-to-edit HDV, AVCHD, Canon 5D Mk II or Canon 7D camera footage to CineForm AVI or MOV files and then benefit from the same theatrical quality format and real-time editing performance as professionals.

The Coveted 24p Cinema Look

Feature films are shot and edited at 24 progressive frames per second (North America) or 25 (Europe / Japan) yielding the coveted "cinema look" you see in theaters. CineForm's Neo Scene uniquely extracts 24p / 25p progressive frames from all your HDV or AVCHD material for editing in your favorite NLE. Your masterpiece will look like it is ready for the big screen - in fact, it is....

Note: Some minor feature differences may exist between the Windows and Mac versions of Neo Scene. Please verify features in the Trial download or Specifications prior to purchase

Neo HD Workflow Features

• OS Compatibility: Separately purchased for Windows or Mac
• Files created: 10-bit CineForm Intermediate (4:2:2) with either AVI (Windows) or MOV (Mac) wrapper.
• Spatial resolution: Up to 1920x1080
• HD camera support: HDV, AVCHD, Canon 5D Mk II, Canon 7D
• Chroma Interpolation: 4:2:0 → 4:2:2. Background: Most HDV and AVCHD camcorders record chroma (color) in a format known as 4:2:0. Without boring you with details, 4:2:0 chroma is half the color resolution of more professional 4:2:2 formats. When Neo Scene detects 4:2:0 chroma it properly interpolates the source chroma to 4:2:2 for more accurate color processing during editing and effects work. And if you ever "key" your material, CineForm's chroma interpolation will substantially improve your resulting visual fidelity.
