View Full Version : CineForm Prospect 4K trouble

I’m having some trouble with my Premiere + CineForm Prospect 4K workflow. Downloaded the 15day demo of Prospect 4K hoping to evaluate it while editing a music video I recently shoot with a RED.

At first Prospect didn’t want to install since it couldn’t find my Adobe Premiere plugin registry key. I searched the web and found a solution that seemed to work (typing a new "fixreg.reg"file in C:\Program\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0\Plug-ins\Common ). That made Prospect able to install and all seemed well.

I used the script to batch capture my R3D files to 1K expressfiles and it worked.

But when I started Premiere to start editing the expressfiles the CineformPresets did not turn up on the Projects Presets list so I can’t start to work.

I have mailed Cineformsuport about my problem but its night over there now and its day here in Sweden and I’m short of time and would rather not just sit around waiting the whole day.

I’m sure there is a solution but I don’t know what it is. Can anyone help me? Is the preset-problem related to the plugin-key problem during initial installation? Can the presets be installed but in the wrong place on the computer or something like that? What file(s) should I be searching for?

I’m using Premiere Pro CS2 (Adobe Production Studio Premium CS2).

Does anyone have any ideas? I’m in a big hurry to start editing and would greatly appreciate help!

Seem that the presets got installed in the wrong place, support is the best group to handle this as I'm not sure where they went. Fortunately you don't need them, they are just templates which you can create yourself -- we don't even have a template for all the Express resolutions. So just select "New Project" then click on the "Custom Settings" tab.

Here is the Custom Setting panel in CS3, pretty much the same in PPro 2.0.

Key settings:

Editing Mode : CineForm HD
Timebase : make your source
Frame Size : 1024 by what you vertical is, for 2:1 use 512, 16:9 use 576
Pixel Aspect Ratio : Square
Fields : No Fields
Audio : 48000Hz

That about it. You can Save the Preset so you don't have to do this again.
