Pro9-32 in Vista 64 seems like the workaround for me until next version (until I find out something new tomorrow....)
=====================================================
Cineform isn't working OK at all in Pro 9
Cineform isn't working at all in Pro 9 64 (or in 8.1 64)
Pro 9 crashes if I try to render anything that has Cineform in it.
Cinescore isn't working at all in 8.1 or 9.0 64
Major stutter problems in Pro 9 - 64 bit
Pro 8.0c plays back stills with dissolves rather bad. Low frame rate.
Etc.
I work with 1920x1080 30 fps footage. It seems like the following workaround is the best for me and my setup.
Does the following seens ilke a good workaround you think?
For the time being, use straight forward uncompressed AVI.
Use half size uncompr 960x540 AVIs for editing. Then when rendering it, throw in the 1920x1080 AVIs for best quality.
Use Pro9 32 bit version becasue it plays back sequences of disslves with still photos at full frame rate.
Pro 9 plays back my uncompressed 960x540 AVIs fine at full 30 fps.
It also does it OK during dissolves (it may go down to 28-29 fps sometimes)
Pro 9 in Vista 64 renders projects with twice the speed as Pro 9 - 32 renders in XP 32.
Staying away from 8.0c and instead using Pro 9 32 gives me better performance with stills.
Skipping Cineform for now (although it is a GREAT codec!) allows me to to use Pro 9 without the Sony-Cineform bug. (Here's the danger in not getting an essential codec working right away - people quickly invent new habits...).
System spec.
=======================
Asus P5KR mobo
Q6600 CPU
8 GB RAM
Vista 64 OS drive
WP 32 OS drive
nVidia 8800 GTS 512 Ge Force
WD 10000 rpm Raid-0
Source footage:
1920x1080 30 fps from 5D2
Norjal workflow = transcoding to Cinneform 1920x1080 - now instead using 960x540 uncompr AVIs during editing, then exchanging those for fullsize uncompr AVIs when rendering.
Only using the original H.264 5D2 MOV files for recording in camera. Transcoding them. Then just putting them on a backup drive.
