SAVING A CINE
Click the ‘Save Cine...’ button to save the edited
Cine to the computer’s hard drive.
If you wish to save the clip to an attached Phantom
CineMag, click the down arrow to the right of the
‘Save Cine...’ button and select ‘Save RAM Cine to
Flash.’
WORKING WITH CINE FILES
The images recorded on the camera’s RAM or Phantom CineMag are stored in a Vision
Research proprietary RAW (uncompressed) file structure called a ‘Cine’ file.
These Cine files can be converted to industry standard formats (ProRes, H264, DPX,
DNG, TIFF, JPEG and more) with PCC software provided by Vision Research.
Phantom PCC and PVP software are only compatible with Windows operating systems.
However, there are third party solutions available for working with Phantom cameras
in Mac OS X.
COMPATIBILITY WITH VIDEO EDITING PROGRAMS
Several popular video editing programs, such as DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere,
have incorporated the Phantom Cine Raw file format into their software. This means
Cine files do not have to be converted and no additional software is required.
Please test the footage with the program you choose before committing, as updates
to the program or Cine file format can sometimes break compatibility. For this reason,
it is important to know how to properly convert Cine Raw files using PCC.
CONVERTING CINE RAW FILES
Single Cine files can be converted by selecting the desired format from the ‘Save as
Type’ selection list in the ‘Save Cine’ dialogue window.
The file formats above the separator line in the ‘Save as Type’ selection list are ‘movie-
like’ formats (meaning the entire clip will be saved as a single file), while the formats
below the line are image formats (meaning each frame of Cine will be saved as a
sequence of images).
Re-saving a clip in the ‘Cine Raw’ format can be useful for creating sub-clips
with no loss in image quality or metadata.
