Do you need Cineform NeoSCENE?
Posted on Wed 7 Oct 2009 at 6:50 PM PST. Filed under Filmmaking, Software.
One of the most useful PC video tools available today is Cineform’s NeoSCENE utility. It acts both as a converter to an easier-to-edit-than-h.264 format, and it can remove pulldown off of PF24 (24p-wannabe) streams. Here’s the break down, helping you decide if you must invest on the tool or not. VideoGuys have a sale on the item, saving you $30 (this is not an endorsed link btw, just a heads up).

Altho’ … if you plan on carrying on to do stuff where you need good-high-quality intermediates (for color correction, effects etc) then you might well need it for all those “don’t need it” scenarios. Depends what “need” means, I suppose.
And not to beat a dead horse, but if you use Premiere on a Mac – Neoscene does not work – which is a pity because I think NeoScene is great
Thank you for the link and that is one hell of a great FLOW CHART. I would love to use it on our site to help our customers understand Cineform better.
BTW we just sent out a Cineform email blast to our customers. You can see it here.

Gary, sure, go ahead.
What are the differences between converting to .mxf 35mbps or 50mbps versus NeoScene?
MXF is just a container, not a codec. And 35mbps of any codec is not lossless, and not necessarily fast to edit. Cineform guarantees that.
