Hi Tommy,
With Cineform, you have a well established, high quality codec that can operate not only with Adobe products but others as well.
The downside (as I see it for most users) is that it doesn’t really scale up or down too much. @30MB/s, it’s basically uncompressed. For most video productions, that’s excessive when you can get good 50 megabits (not megabytes) codecs out there.
Still, I like Cineform and I think their stereoscopic 3d workflow for Premiere Pro is very solid…
