AJA + Cineform + Premier
Has anyone within this forum been successful in using AJA Kona LHi with Cineform AVI or Cineform MOV within Premier CS5?
I am unable to get a cineform avi to play with aja timeline
I am unable to get a cineform mov to work the way you would think it should
I am unable to get a cineform timeline to play out of the aja kona
I am unable to get an adobe timeline to use cineform without lots of rendering.Can someone give me some direction as to what the best workflow is for me? I use an HP z800 workstation with 2 xeon quadcore 2.6 processors, 12gb of ram, and an nvidia quadro fx 4800 graphics card. My video drive is a G-Tech 6.5 tb esata raid. I have a 15 episode program series that I have already digitized footage for but am considering deleting it all and simply redigitizing because I cannot stomach the idea of dealing with the problems I am having through the course of this post production process.
Please advise what are the best practices in use.

Hi Josh,
As you know, the only way I can help is to get some more detailed info…
Your four bullet points are all a bit vague…bit rates, timeline frame rates/frame sizes/pixel aspect ratios are all key…then what is exactly happening when you aren’t getting the CineForm material to play out on the kona from a Kona-compatible timeline…
With the hardware config you refer to…my first concern would be what CineForm quality setting you’re using. “Low” makes very usable images and “Medium” looks great…anything above that adds to the bitrate, and while there is some quality difference, unless you are in a feature film workflow with lots of effects and compositing, I think that even most trained eyes would have difficulty picking out the differences visually.
The two “Film” modes make some very large bitrates…
