  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Any Linux workflow with Redcode?

Ive been fooling around with Linux lately....Is there anything for Linux users? And do any of them have (or will have) redcode?
 
Yes, coming soon with the SDK first and then REDline linux next.
 
Seriously, Deanan... Don't toy with my emotions like that! If you can get it in my hands before Thanksgiving (SDK only, I can wait on Redline), I'll buy you a steak dinner next time I'm in LA! ... And of course, the cheerleaders are still waiting.

I'll aim for ruining your thanksgiving :)
 
Which Linux distro is recommended for editing\video work?

Testing openSUSE 11 now, but I'm really new to the Linux universe.

Any users of things like Kino\Cinelerra\Janshaka?

Could these work for a RED Linux workflow?
 
I use Piranha, which is recommended on Fedora, but I run it on Ubuntu without issue.

Kino is like iMovie, and really optimized for DV (and somewhat HDV) footage. It is not at all applicable for RED. Cinelerra is probably the most functional solution for the hobbyist cutter, but its development model is primarily driven by Heroine Warriors, and what they (he) deems is important. As a result, the app feels dated and rough. Its not the most stable either. If you can work within those limitations, its probably your best option. Jahshaka is vaporware. It promises a lot, and would be cool if they could deliver, but they haven't... yet.

Check out PiTiVi. It is based on GStreamer, with a Python front-end. Its getting some traction, and is developed by some of the main developers of GStreamer, so they are in bed together, which always helps.

Once REDline for Linux is available, you should be able to use it together w/ FFmpeg to be able to transcode your RED footage to just about anything, which could then be edited with any of the above. However, if you want the most flexibility from your footage (ie REDCODE RAW), you'll want something that can cut 4k TIFF, DPX or EXR sequences, which generally means professional solutions like Piranha.
 
Will there be REDLine for windoze?

Is it somethihg like the x264? A cool little thing that can do a lot of very nice conversions? :)
 
I tried.. I could never get it to work (adlib: right, well, 'at all', etc). I ultimately came to the conclusion that it was really created for the VJ, as a live/real-time video mixing tool, rather than a serious NLE.

It has been probably a year or more since I last looked into it though, so maybe its gotten better?
