Cineform Free Codec for H264 Cameras (eg GoPro or DSLR)

  • http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1027848
    • David Newman of cineform just announced that cineform codec will be free for canon users.
    • Their 3d tool for the GoPro 3d system is getting re-released to be compatible with all cameras, from what I gather. It’s already free, though: http://gopro.com/3d-cineform-studio-software-download/ — and for free, for any H.264 .mp4 footage, you can:
      • • Transcoding to GoPro CineForm codec
      • • Frame-rate adjust for slow motion
      • • Exposure
      • • Contrast
      • • Saturation
      • • Color Temperature
      • • Image flip rotation
      • • Frame Resize (Up-res/Down-res)
      • • Cropping and zoom
    • So if you take your 5d/7d/whatever footage and convert to .mp4 you can then convert to cineform using this free tool already.

    • Recently, it was announced that GoPro had acquired Cineform, and would be utilizing their tech in a 3D camera. We dropped by the Cineform booth at NAB 2011 to talk to David Newman about this change for Cineform, and how that affects their pro users.
