REDLine using --useRSX yields black frame

[Deanan]

Try -S 01:00:xx:yy instead of -S 00...
Or check the edgecode using printmeta.

This what i get (rsx is set to 2 and 60 for in/out) :
theater1:0shortclips deanan.dasilva$ REDline -i mac3.R3D --useRSX 1 -o test -R 4 -w 11 -S 01:00:00:06 --useEC -E 01:00:00:09
test.mov : 6
test.mov : 7
test.mov : 8
test.mov : 9
Done.

Deanan,

This is still not working for me.

I have tried both the -S and --startTC command, putting the --useEC, -S, -E command before and after --useRSX 1, and the render is still defaulting to the TC I / O set in REDAlert.

For example, rsx is set to 120 and 200 for in/out:

REDLINE -i ./Desktop/123/123.R3D -useRSX 1 -w 1 -S 01:00:00:05 --useEC -E 01:00:00:06
././Desktop/123/123.0000120.tif
././Desktop/123/123.0000121.tif
././Desktop/123/123.0000122.tif

Any other thoughts?

Or, is there a easy way to translate edge code to frame count so I can try it that way?

Thanks,
Michael

Deanan,

I tried outputting into QT this time following your command exactly:

REDline -i ./Desktop/123/123.R3D --useRSX 1 -w 11 -R 4 -S 01:00:00:06 --useEC -E 01:00:00:09

And the TC of the QT file that it outputted was overridden by the -S and -E TC I set. However, when trying to output to TIFF / DPX, REDline still defaults to the TC i/o on the RSX file.

Are there additional command I should use while outputting to TIFF / DPX?

REDline -i ./Desktop/123/123.R3D --useRSX 1 -w 1 -S 01:00:00:06 --useEC -E 01:00:00:09



Thanks,
Michael

can you share the output of printMeta 1?

Ok, looks like a bug with dpx/tiff output and multithreading. Try --procs 1.

[Michael MK Siu]

Deanan,

This worked! Thank you!

Using --useRSX 1 and --procs 1, i am able to override the TC in / out point from the RSX file with -S and -E command.

Although admittedly I do not fully understand the --procs command. Can you explain how using --procs 1 will affect the process and speed of render from REDLine?

It does affect speed a bit but we haven't optimized things yet so I'd recommend running six redlines at the same time for an 8core.

[Michael MK Siu]

Deanan,

So when --procs 1, it will be only running one line of redline, and --procs 6, it will be running 6 lines?

Or is this related to the # of redline command I input into the terminal at a time?

Thanks,
Michael
