Thanks.
I just tried it out and I'll be damned. The single white balance picker on Cineform does a better job of correcting the colors than Sony Vegas Pro does using the 3 color balance picker with a White balance 3 card set. The Protune preset is great too.

The short coming in Cineform is that when you save a preset you can't delete it. The rest of the editing I'll leave to Vegas Pro.

Has basic editing features built in now too, great for anyone who doesn't want to mess around with other more complicated editors.
 
The new version is crap. Constantly freezes on conversion. Then when I get through the conversion after restarting it over and over, the editing portion crashes. Looking for other options. I just got my GoPro and am pretty disappointed with the software.
 
Could the issues have anything to do with your computer? Maybe I've just been lucky, but I haven't had any issues with the new program.
 
Studio 2.0 was incompatible with my editing software (Pinnacle 16). I found a copy of the last Cineform version in my downloads folder and reloaded it and Pinnacle was still having trouble. Sony Vegas is well regarded in the 3D world so I coughed up the dough and made the switch to Vegas. I likely could have made Pinnacle work again with the old Cineform...but figured my time was better spent learning Vegas.

Between GoPro's recent firmware "upgrades" that trashed my 3D, and the Studio 2.0 release, I'm getting very gunshy of GoPro software.

Typically I'd assume the same thing if the problem weren't mine, but I have quite a bit of computer experience and my system runs flawlessly. I taught myself how to build computers in the early nineties, worked in IT support for 9 years making it to network administration in only 3 years, and have been a software developer for the last 4 years... I'm (unfortunately) the guy everyone calls when they have problems. It's definitely not my computer. The software is just straight up buggy. If you do a google search on the same issues I'm having, I'm not alone. I tried copying the files to my hard drive prior to the conversion, but if I attempted to do more than one at a time, the 2nd would hang. I could stop it and restart it and the next file would finish. I took 50 minute video the other day and it cut the files up into 20 minute segments. Took me forever to get them to AVI files, then it crashed when loading the editing software. I just quite right there. I had already wasted enough time.
