Lee, I am primarily an amateur and a pensioner who is only doing odd jobs - mainly to finance my hobby. I spent a biggish amount on the Sony NX5 and CS5 last year. My present computer is not powerful enough to smoothly handle AVCHD but I do not want to spend more money right now for another computer. I first thought I would get another graphics card for my present computer but am not sure whether that alone would help, as we discussed recently. As an interim solution (until I get a "nice" job) I thought I will convert the files.
Cineform converts files to AVI probably similar to Lagarith which I used with CS4 but CS5 does not show it as option after it has been installed. Like Lagarith, Cineform is supposed to be lossless, and as I wrote the picture quality looks very good and my vintage computer handles it nicely. I am sure the sound problem is Premiere related although Cineform write that it works with CS5 Uwe > Uwe > > Just curious - why do you have to convert the AVCHD's in the first place, > and what does Cineform convert them into? > > Lee > > From: [email protected] > <mailto:Adobe-Premiere%40yahoogroups.com> > [mailto:[email protected] > <mailto:Adobe-Premiere%40yahoogroups.com>] > On Behalf Of Uwe Soltau > Sent: Saturday, February 05, 2011 3:41 AM > To: [email protected] > <mailto:Adobe-Premiere%40yahoogroups.com> > Subject: [AP] CS5 and Cineform > > > Before I spend money on a new graphics card or computer I decided to try > converting my AVCHD files with Cineform. > To find out how it works I downloaded the trial version. > The picture quality of the converted files looks very good but when I > import > the clips into CS5 the sound is totally distorted. > The sound is perfect when played in Windows Media Player , although I had > to download a patch/codec first before it played the sound at all. > > I had the same problem when I imported clips taken with the Sony NX5 > with sound > recorded in Linear PCM into CS4 but that has been fixed in CS5. > > I could replace the sound of the converted clips with that of the > original clips but > that is a fair amount of extra work. > > If that can not be fixed I would not go for Cineform as it is rather > expensive (in my mind). > $129 is about the third of a medium CUDA card. > > Any thoughts or solutions? > > Uwe_,_._,___ > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
