CineForm – Visually Perfect Real Time HD
CineForm Software is a company located in
They are currently working on a project to start using Christie Digital Cinema Projectors in movie theatres to display full HD in theatres with a digital file that is sent to the theatres through a network, instead of through the mail. With this compression format editing HD video has never been easier. Their Real Time software will make editing on a timeline in either Adobe Premiere CS3, Final Cut Pro HD, Sony Vegas, or AVID very easily with a file size that is very reasonable with a standard home computer.
Real time editing means that as you are working on a timeline in either of the programs, you can complete a full version of your project without having to render the timeline for playback (in flash: publishing for a flash file) until you are completely done editing the project. This process could take up to a couple hours on a slower processing computer.
Cineform’s software sets itself on top of all other high definition editing platforms because it allows HD Editing in real time, for the first time. Before CineForm, editors found themselves sitting around for hours waiting for the computer to render the file, or simply prepare the edited file for playback.
People that would be interested in CineForm’s software would be any institution or person that uses one of many editing software platforms integrating HD Real time technology. If a computer company isn’t allowing HD capability in their software yet, it seems like they are about a year behind in a very fast paced market.
I’ve been into video editing for years, and it has always been a hobby of mine to make home movies with friends, or whenever project possibility would come up in classes, I would always try to integrate a video in some way or another.
I think that this company’ software is effective because they are the first company to allow high definition video to be compressed into a format that is easy to do anything you could do with a standard definition file, with close to the same storage space.

CineForm RAW: "CineForm RAW™, announced in April 2006, is an extension to CineForm Intermediate that encodes raw sensor data for digital cinema cameras that use large-format Bayer sensors. Processing sensor data in its raw form, prior to conversion to YUV or RGB color spaces, offers many creative benefits to the post-production workflow, including higher dynamic range and more flexible color palette, which results in a more cinematic look for theatrical productions."
