GoPro just launched Cineform for Adobe products. I assume this means that GoPro is no longer trying to extract $1,000 per license for the Cineform license. This would make a nice Pro Codec addition. We’ll see how Adobes inclusion attacks ProRes. God willing editors and clients will start accepting Cineform. It’s got 4:2:2, 4:4:4 and 4:4:4:4 in 8 bit and 16 bit. It’s also FAST.
Do you have any links to this information handy?
Here is their tech page:cineform.com/technology
CineForm has become the industry leader in end-to-end compression-based workflows, from camera, through post-production, and into mezzanine or long-term archive. Compression has become critical for emerging workflows, but compression cannot be considered in isolation to the overall workflow goal. It is in this area that CineForm differentiates itself from other solutions. CineForm software provides editorial workflow solutions optimized for use with industry-standard tools, with real-time engines, Active Metadata, and conversion utilities, all used together to improve the visual fidelity of your projects and reduce your time spent in post.
and here is the Adobe Announcement:blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/201 … pdate.html

Hi there,
Thank you very much for letting us know. We’ll study very seriously this possible addition to the Draft Pro codecs.
Kind regards,
