FCP 6.01 and redcode raw

[Simon Blackledge]

..Is it working now? is it just a codec we need?

if so, when is it going to be freely available?

I take it exporting via fcp from redcode raw is a no-no ?


So many q's! :)

From what I understand Red Alert installs the QT component on your machine. This means it is an accessible codec like anything other on on your mac. THis is why the guys were able to post a 2K H.264 movie they made last night.

Since this is the case, you could be exporting to other codecs too, so if they wanted to start editing in FCP I am sure they could set up a timeline with REDCODE or transcode to any codec (in the meantime) to edit the footage. There was no TC on teh H.264 movie.

I am pretty sure this will flush out in the next few days.

The power of REDCODE will be the ability to edit proxies, relink to 4K or 2K masterclips, never having to create additional copies of the shot material (besides the back up of course).

When people realize that this workflow is occuring in data rates close to that of SD, then we will see the RED post revolution.

What I am getting at here is:

I am sure you will see many people color correcting 2K redcode on FW 800 drives and sending DOWNCONVERTS of that sequence (VIA KONA) 1080P to HDCAM SR masters. The 2K could go to a filmout. A one hour show will be about 120GIG.

This is going to change everything. It will be 35mm quality in a DVCPRO HD sized workflow.

Crazy!!!!

This is exactly why it's going to be a post revolution as well. It will be nice to see the first RED to filmprint when the films shot this summer come out.

Yes, it's working now. Current codec only does decompression.

[Simon Blackledge]

Possibility of re-compression later? for archive maybe ?

Thanks Rob.

It's good to know that it is only one way at the moment. Could this codec be used in "other" HD and standard def workflows when it is fully enabled?

Since 1k 16x9 is 1024x576, in theory a REDCODE quarter rez Quicktime shot at 25 fps should be editable in real time in a PAL 16x9 ProRes timeline in FCP 6 (same number of scan lines, so only horizontal scaling by FCP required) and monitored on a broadcast monitor with an AJA or Decklink card. Graeme/Rob, does this work?

[Rob Lohman]

Haven't looked at all that stuff yet, that will happen later.
