CineForm Intermediate software now supports Mac OS X and Final Cut Pro. The company yesterday released an unrestricted public beta of its CineForm Intermediate software codec for Intel-based Mac OS X 10.4
CineForm Intermediate is now offered as a QuickTime movie running under Mac OS X. These QuickTime movie files offer 10 bits of arithmetic precision with spatial resolution up to 2K (2048 x 2048). Intended for Professional and Prosumer applications that demand high visual fidelity without the need for specialized hardware, CineForm Intermediate QuickTime files are visually identical to the .AVI files CineForm has supported on the Windows platform for many years.
Further, CineForm QuickTime movie files are completely cross-platform (Windows or Mac) compatible
. 10-bit CineForm QuickTime movie files can now be created on either Mac OS X or Windows platforms and can be moved from one platform to the other with full file compatibility.
The initial software release is considered a public BETA, which will last for at least a couple months while the company adds additional features. But the visual fidelity is identical on both platforms.
The company also plans to support Adobe's Production Studio when it is released for Mac OS X later this year.
In additional news, Wafian Corporation is now shipping its HR1 direct-to-disk HD-SDI recorders with the option to record directly into Cineform Intermediate QuickTime movie files. This allows Wafian customers to choose either Mac OS X (Final Cut Pro) or Windows (Adobe Premiere Pro or Sony Vegas) as the primary editing platform.
