rendering to new track: cineform HD

Serena wrote on 10/6/2009, 1:52 AM

Previously this has always been a "no troubles" business, so I'm unfamiliar with the corrective steps. I've converted an EX clip to avi using Neo HD (high) and having edited that with the audio I want to render to a new track. V9 says it cannot find an appropriate codec for the render. Seems odd .... what do I need to do? Of course I have the licence for Neo.

Can you Render As and then put that file on a new track?

No, same response. I've just started using v9, but surely that shouldn't be the problem.

So you cannot render to Cineform from V9 at all then?
There was a lot of trouble getting Cineform to work with V9.

Yes, that's right. I'd forgotten. There was a fix of some sort, but I think was OK with 9b (which I'm running). Probably quickest to go back to mxf form and work with that. My main machine is down at the moment and I'm using the laptop.

Serena...
I'm having no trouble with render to new track,with the Cineform NeoHD codec. May I suggest re-installing NeoHD.

You might try doing a search on user name "_dan_". He is the CTO at Cineform and posted quite a bit a few months back when people reported problems with Cineform in 9.x. Here is one sample:

Updates to CineForm Neo & Neo Scene

You definitely want to make sure you have the latest Cineform patches and updates and, if necessary, completely uninstall Cineform before re-installing. I think there are a few posts about manually deleting certain DLLs before re-installing.

If you are using an old render preset from v8, you need to hit the custom button and go to the video codec and simply reselect Cineform and then make sure that the audio interleave is set to "250" and not "000." Either resave or create a new render preset and it should work fine.

I found a fix for this problem. NeoHD offers many rendering options, which I tried in turn. The option change that restored full operation was selecting Video RGB instead of ITB 709. Vegas was then happy about the codec even when swapping back to 709. All rendering options available after that swap. I've no idea what all that was about. The problem was also exhibited in Vegas 8c (and simultaneously cured), so presumably a problem somewhere in a Sony sub-directory.
