Canon HF s100 and Cineform Neoscene

[Isosceles Kramer]

Greetings folks.

As many probably know, AVCHD can be pretty difficult to edit, with the lag and all that, so recently i decided to check out cineform neoscene, a program that converts the raw footage from the camera to more editing-friendly files.

However, when i'm fixing to import from the camera, the program can't seem to find it ("No video capture devices available right now").

Importing 'manually' with Image Mixer works just fine, but it seems Neoscene needs to import the files from the camera itself, or else i could just convert the already manually imported files.

I'm using Vista 64bit with sp1, and in device manager the camera is located under Portable Devices, as LAGRIA HF S100.

If anyone has any info on this problem, it would be appreciated.




edit: Woah! Suddenly converting the already imported .mts files works! what the...

Well here is a picture of a platypus, so you don't feel like you got cheated of your time:

The problem still stands, though.

Can you run cineform Neoscene on raw footage that you have on the computer ?

I guess I'm a bit puzzed, AVCHD doesn't need to be "imported" from the camera, files are simply copied or moved from the camera to your hard drive, no file modification is done at that moment. If however you are using an HVD camera like the HV20, HV30, HV40 Canon, footage is created on your computer's hard drive at the moment you import it from the camera. It creates the video file in computer format as the tape plays back the footage.

From what I understand, Neoscene cannot do its thing, if you have the files already imported from an HVD camera, however with AVCHD, I don't know how this works, as there's no "importing" or file creation ever being done at the moment of transfer from camera to hard drive of your computer.
