Who is in charge of RED Alert ?

[Antoine Fabi]

I ask, because i'd want to ask if it is possible to have more output codec options.

thanks

Antoine

It's RED themselves, but you should rather ask Hans-Georg Daun, author of Clipfinder.

Yeah Antoine,

As Uli mentioned, now new Clipfinder covers more than RED Alert! so, it'll be faster to ask Hans cover more codec.

 

[Hans-Georg Daun]

He did, and I replied that in order to support more codecs I would have to create a replacement for REDline (which I currently use for rendering). I could use the SDK for debayering, but I'd have to do scaling, cropping, and encoding myself. It would take quite a bit of time to do this, so I wonder whether it is worth the effort.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers,
Hans

 

[Uli Plank]

I'd say you, Hans-Georg, should talk to RED about improving REDline (Deanan, maybe?).

Bonjour à vous Hans, Kaku et Uli!

Hans,

Yeah, would be helpfull if we could use a good Quicktime 4:4:4 codec.
DPX is fine, but it's easier to use a Quictime 4:4:4 codec for normal use.
...and REDLINE Animation compression looks terrible.

Thanks!
Antoine

nomad,

I believe it would be difficult or impractical to extend REDline, as a command line tool, to work with all installed codecs and to provide interaction for setting their specific parameters.

Cheers,
Hans
