CineForm is working with Avid to enable compatible workflows for CineForm media within Avid Media Composer and DS.  The first level of this support, available today, is the ability to import CineForm AVI and MOV files through MetaFuze into Avid DNxHD files as indicated in the diagram.

Currently, imported media does not retain timecode information. Additional tools will be provided in the future to assist with timecode retention.

Importing Media through MetaFuze:

Download and install the Windows version of CineForm’s free Neo Player onto the workstation on which you will be ingesting footage through MetaFuze.  MetaFuze will use the CineForm decoder installed by Neo Player during the import process.

Follow the instructions for MetaFuze available on Avid’s website for importing MOV or AVI files.

Creating CineForm Media: It is currently not possible to create CineForm media within Avid products.  To otherwise create CineForm media, any of CineForm’s editing-related products for Mac or Windows can be used.  CineForm files are cross-platform (Windows / Mac) compatible, and regardless of origination can be imported through MetaFuze.
