NeoScene 5.0.3 just came out today and all my CS5 issues are fixed now.

Just tried with the new CHFD_AVI_Importer.prm and it worked like a charm! I’m able to stick to my original workflow now. I’ve tested MBL on the native h264 vs cineform and I can tell realtime the processing with be much smoother with CineForm. Hope this helps you Cassandra.

Seems like the recognize the problem. Check page 2 of this thread and try the new importer.

I’ve done more testing without using Magic Bullet Looks. I’m only doing some effects within CS5, specifically a gradient type effect, and I get the same error when applying it. If the effect is turned off there is no problem.

I think the issue is when a gradient type effect or vignette is applied. It consitently happens to me.

If you want to replicate this yourself this is what you can do in CS5:

1) add a video effect – Generate – Circle
2) blending mode shoudl be NORMAL
3) set it to “invert circle”
4) set the Color to black
5) set opacity to 50%
6) apply a large radius
7) set the feather to a larger amount so there is a nice gradient effect

This creates a vignette effect and should have a nice gradient to black. I’ve applied the exact same effect to any other codec and i have no problems, only CineForm codec errors on me. I have no other effects but this gradient effect.

Still no work around for me. How have you worked around the issue? If it doesn’t get resolved soon I’m going to have to deal with very large mezzanine files in MPEG2 or something stable.

I have a nvidia geforce gtx 275. I believe it’s a problem with cineform. If you see look at the error closely it’s coming from cineform decoder. Also I have no problems grading other codecs with MBL. Please open a case with cineform so hopefully they make it a priority since the issue seems to replicable. My case is still pending a resolution.

I have the exact same problem right now. I do notice it happens on parts where I have heavy grading using Magic Bullet Looks 1.4. If I turn off the grading effects the playback will not crash.

Open a support case with CineForm which I’ve done too. Instead of playing back, use Adobe Media Encoder and encode your project. It should fail at a certain point and email them your error code. Here is the error I get. Can you post your error too?
