As promised, i'll do a fast tutorial on how to start using the CineForm Studio. Open the download page.
This page will pop up, just sroll down till the end.
When you reach the end you will find a small form, fill in the information required and select your operating system. The click "Submit" button.
You will be redirected to another page, click the "Download Cineform" button.
After you complete the download, and installed it you will find it on your desktop or dock.
When you open it it will look something like this.
Lets start by importing some new pictures (or a video). Click on "IMPORT NEW FILES" and select the folder where the pictures are located. I recommend you move the pictures you want to make a video out of them to a new folder, this way they are organised and you dont have other unrelated pictures popping up in the video.
When you are done you can see that there are few descriptions that show up. You have the name of the video (by default it is the first photo in the folder). You then see that this video is 2D. It also shows the duration of the video, the frames per second, and the resolution (the same resolution as the pictures).
Select the clip you want to continue using then click on the bottom of the software the button that says "Advanced Settings". Here you choose the settings of your video. It is better to lower your video quality if you used high photo resolution. Try something frequently used, like 1080p or 720p. In this example I choose 720p. Then choose your FPS. If you want a smooth clip, 24 or 30 FPS are more than enough, and they are the most common FPS. I don't use the "SPEEDUP" function, but if you want give it a shot, click on the check box and choose how many times you want to speed it up. For quality I recommend to use high quality for best results especially if you want to further process the video using other editing softwares, like Final Cut Pro or Sony Vegas.
When you are done click on "ADD CLIP TO CONVERSION LIST", and then hit "CONVERT". You will notice that your video started to convert, and the timeline will start filling up.
After you complete the conversion, continue on to step 2: Editing. Not much will change, except for the right side where a new editing tools will appear allowing you to manipulate and change different settings of the video. You can increase exposure, change temperature, change the framing, choose 3D settings, etc.
When you are done, go to file and then export to ".mov".
Although many of you know how to use it, but I decided to put a tutorial because there are few tutorials and some might need help with it. Hope you found it easy and beneficial.
