Ian_T, I tried to open it in Adobe After Effects CC Trial, using Quick Time. Also, it is playable in Windows over PotPlayer (but no 1:1 view). If someone have problem to open it, I can create another lossless copy: utcodec avi or H.264 avi or mov or mkv. Ask me if you really need it. But I found ProRes is more universal to open in most software.

@rean This is impressive! Really looking forward to it. Keep us posted.

it is nonsense - 4:2:0 is 4:2:0 remain, for ever

when we will be able to use the final product.

Im very interested in this upsampling method. Also for 2k blowup no 4k, i find it very interesting. Until now i cant completely work on this software.

An UI would be grate.

@endotoxic a beta version is planned in a next week or two. There are some things those are not ready really to be published. A final release will be available after tests, ~ in a next month, but these are no plans to change anything more, so the coming beta version will be ready for production use and final questions “how to...” or "how do I...". I am testing it currently on my next real video project. Many bugs and issues are already fixed in this testing.

A documentation will be written after beta publishing. As you see, this year I have created many development versions where you can see a huge amount of cardinal changes in every release to release. It is because I create as great software as I can create and optimize everything. Also I want to keep my time and CPU use time, so it must be as fast as possible with long projects for hours of rendering. I have now a great project of summary video time for hundreds of hours, so I create the program to use in this big project. Key goals are: speed+usability+final quality+color accuracy.

Previous versions were very slow and have some usability, stability and quality issues.

About 4K use. This usage requires a special program settings (reduced thread count and memory used), or you can get crashes. Windmotion is a x86 software, so a free memory is a key. Also, be ready to get processing with 0.1-0.5 fps. The published example is rendered in 0.3 fps on i7 3.5Ghz.

@SuperSet it should work with GH3, but there are no GH3 profile yet. I have not found any original GH3 file on the internet, so I don't know a file format, color matrix and other things to create a valid profile.

Most of unsupported cameras should be imported correctly (but with wrong color information - manual change is required), using "Generic File.bat" or "Generic File (to mkv).bat". Some cameras require special tricks.

If you are interesting in a GH3 profile, send me in a private message some short GH3 originals in different file formats, supported by GH3.

Also I still need in information for GH2 about an exact mts file size, used by camera for spanning. Currently I use this value: 4300,000,000 bytes. Of course, it is incorrect. How to get this value? Create a big ~one hour video and send me exact file sizes for all mts files. Currently only Sony NEX camera profiles can join mts files correctly, because I own these cameras and know span sizes.

One question: is anyone are interesting in support of upsampling to 2K resolution?

@rean Great job, looking forward to the new beta. I think upsampling to 2k would be great for those wanting the benefits of the process without incurring the huge file and rendering time penalty.

@rean Will there be some friendly user interface? Or we better say - GUI? I once installed your software (many months ago) but crashed my head in finding out how this "beast" works... And I still haven't figured it out...

Wow. Really impressive.

Hello,

Small question, if I licence a Personal Edition of Windmotion that is currently alpha, will it upgrade until you publish the final build or am I just purchassing the current version?

Cya

Rean, this sounds very interesting! I would love to see optimization with gh3, so if you need samples, I can make some. Let me know what your preferred material would be (subject, lighting, motion, length etc )

THANKS!

@Ian_T there's a small purchase button on the bottom of the page at his site. The paid version have some differences, as listed out there.

@rean I can shoot some challenging footage in various formats for you. Do you have a preferred place to upload (I take it you want actual source files...) and size limitations?

Hi @kurt10, very nice results you've got there with Utvideo 444 (Extract to TIFF)!

@rean Please be kind to help me out with the export procedure in WM. I can't make WD transcode my GH2 files. It seems that I'm doing everything right... (as it says in WD readme.txt). I want to export to mkv h264 lossless 10bit 444.

In x64 directory I renamed x264 to x264-10bit.exe

These are the steps I've made (but nothing happened and I saw no signs of recoding, and I saw no final result at all, though I even tried to export to all formats besides h264):

1. Import - I execute ...Panasonic GH2.bat
2. Convert - I execute ... Add to avsi.bat
3. To16bit - I execute ... Add to avsi.bat
4. Final16bit - I execute ... Add to avsi.bat

Then I went to execute "...\wm\09.Export\H.264 mkv\Make mkv h264 lossless 10bit 444.bat". Some black screen appeared (saying "---check x264-10bit.exe") for 2 seconds and disapeared. And that's it! No new video files were created in the whole Windmotion directory.

Am I doing something wrong?

I'm interested in the personal paid version and the sooner I handle with the free version, the sooner I buy the pro version. If there was some manual...

Thank you in advance.
