There is no possible way to bring the monkey extract export into RedCine for color grading correct?

I guess I don't understand why Monkey Extract was created if it can't work with RedCine.
 
Thanks for the responses,

This is my first go-around with Red footage so I am looking at all of this with fresh eyes.

My immediate recommendation would be to somehow just combine RedAlert and RedCine into one program.

I understand the choice to get a product to market but there is no reason at all for this type of programming. Sort of shoot from the hip and make the end user deal with it.
 
Those are two apps I defdinitely wouldn't combine... :) Not unless someone made RedCine work like it looks like it was meant to, at least... But there is no signs that's gonna happen.

BUT.
If you look @ RED workflow like film, you need to go to the lab to develop your footage @ some stage. Redline (which is pretty much RedAlert but scriptable) or RedCine is where you develop the cut-list for online.

So you need a parser to go into the developer engine.

Crimson, Monkey extract and CineXML are such parsers, that all serve slightly different purposes. I'd more like to see an app that does all they do + redcinefunctionality, without limits to the length of the imported clips, than that someone should mess up RedAlert... :)

When you come from FCP, Crimson is the way to go. It looks like Cine XML takes comparable care for the AVID xml-user, untill AVIDs new R3D/SDK-based tools are released.

Would you mind, if I publish the list on the purgatory page?
It is a sort of published research of mine, slowly growing, and such a list from you would be a great addition.

Would you mind to check it out and tell me?

Monkey was created for people who are grading in external tools. You output a timeline as an EDL, and then render that to DPX or Quicktime and grade those files.

Unless you're doing a huge resize on a shot or tweaking, there's no major reason to render it in Redcine.

I think Windows compatibility is a major reason. REDline is just supported on Mac for now.

Not at all. I hope to get it up tomorrow.

I do want to be listed in Norway besides Martin, though :)
