Haircut said...just incase you guys are interested;
Cineform's Neoscene is quite an efficient intermediate codec package that will work with a good range of video editing apps, and retains
arguably 99% + image quality. It's a good balance between cpu usage, hard disk space and decoding speed.
I've messed with it quite a lot and found it will allow editing of full HD footage on slower dual core machines with fewer hiccups and slowdowns when applying transitions and colour correction etc. on machines with typical IDE or SATA (non raid) hard disk setups etc.
but yes, its about $150 aus
gopro.github.io/cineform-sdk/There are a few other free codecs that u can try too, but what i have found from my experimenting, they still aren't as good as the Neoscene one just yet for full HD editing performance on slow machines
Neoscene is the Pro solution and yes it's Visuably Lossless. If you edit a lot it's worth the money. I use it on all my AVCHD projects from GoPro to Pro cams. But all the free options work well once you get the workflow down pat and follow it every time.
A snippet more update infoThe next FW upgrade will have a One Button function. Basically, One button mode is just that...hit the power button in this mode and it will automatically start recording in whatever setting you have the camera in. No need to hit the shutter button. Once you are ready to stop recording, hit the power button again and it will stop, save the file and then shut off automatically.
I'll be testing this Beta FW later today.
(Please don't ask for a copy i can't distribute it)
