Back in April, Panasonic wowed everyone at the NAB show with the AG-3DA1, their first fully-integrated, professional-quality, HD 3D camcorder, which is due to hit shelves soon. Now, they've announced that they're teaming up with Cineform to offer users an even simpler 3D workflow.

The AG-3DA1 records left and right eye footage to two separate SDHC/SD memory cards. Thanks to CineForm's Firstlight converter (part of their Neo3D system), you'll be able to batch convert both sets of footage into CineForm files simultaneously, then merge them into a single CineForm 3D file in faster than realtime.

The converted files keep their original metadata (including timecode) and are immediately ready for editing in your NLE of choice, be it Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or Media Composer 5.
