Cineform Neo3D v5

Cineform's Neo3D v5 software offers essential workflow tools for editing stereoscopic 3D, especially material that was shot on dual-camera rigs (both beam-splitter and side-by-side). Starting with two separate files for left-eye/right-eye material, Neo3D performs every task necessary to ready S3D footage for real-time online editing in a broad range of professional nonlinear editing applications, including Sony Vegas, Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere (CS5), and Avid Media Composer (v5). Because it puts out a single Cineform 3D file in an AVI or MOV wrapper, Neo3D is compatible with most professional NLEs, regardless of platform.

All adjustments that Neo3D applies via the bundled First Light application – such as non-destructive primary color correction, 2D/3D text and graphics overlays, and 3D image adjustments – are performed in real time and travel on top of the underlying 3D video layer as Active Metadata. Neo3D can be used for online 3D finishing or as an offline program designed to ready a 3D project for finishing within another tool. The software is capable of producing dual-link stereo output to drive RealD, Dolby, and XpanD projectors.

Neo3D includes all software tools and applications that come with Cineform's Neo program, including HD Link (for Windows) and ReMaster (for Mac), which convert all most all camera/file sources into Cineform files.

One of the most powerful features introduced for version 5 is the expanded set of keyframeable 3D adjustments that First Light can execute in order to fine-tune the convergence of your right-eye and left-eye footage. Also expanded is the list of keyframeable stereo color adjustments that you can execute in real time. There's also OpenGL display support for timeline and First Light monitoring (Windows-only), as well as HD-SDI/HDMI monitoring support in Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro (through AJA Kona LHi/3 – drivers supplied by AJA).
