Neoscene Conversion Bug

OK after much thrashing about I have found that the latest build of NeoScene (27) in ProRes formats creates artifacts by doubling part of a frame in some pans. This is not mud. I do not get it with Voltaic, although the conversion in Voltaic is not as good.

Like mud it occurs only with fast movement, but it clearly is not coming from the cam.

Whew! I was concerned it would ruin the whole frame. :)

Yeah, I know it seems like a crazy thing to say but I got a message from a forum reader suggesting that I did not remove the pulldown so frames superimposed. Not what is happening.

The bug can be very visible like my example or it can be small, but it happpens way too frequently. My work flow has stopped. Wish Voltaic did was as good in handling color space, then This would not be so bad.


Previous thread committed on interlacing artifacts in first few frames of Neoscene conversions in earlier builds of the program, so this bug might possibilbly reflect some issue in their conversion methodology. Not clear. Since it happens with movement is it amplying something in the codec? Anybody know?

Maybe they are working on motion-adaptive deinterlacing, which weaves some parts of a frame and bobs another? In this case their algorithm is not robust enough yet :)
 
I've encountered this too. Are you guys going with Voltaic? For now I'm shooting in 720p so as to not have to deal with pulldown. It seems like there is no "ideal" solution.
 
On mac. Talking with their mac guy. Found in all conversion formats. Also problem gettng conversion into proper format. Stopped my workflow. No problems before they dowgraded ProRes to LT and SQ only.

Cineform just emailed me that they found the image doubling or tearing problem and will shortly be issuing a new build of Neoscene for Mac. Still looking at other issues.
 
i'm a mac guy but i have to say that the win version works better.i discovered the same problem. jagged frame and crashes. wait for an update! everybody should write an email to them to push for an update.
