That's correct. That card will show as an x8 when in a x8 or x16 slot. It'll show x4 or x1 if it's in a slower slot.

When i render out quicktimes my quicktime player doesn't recognise the file neither does FCP.

(posted this over in "RED Rocket™ update" thread but it's better served here i think)

Deanan,

great job to you and all that made this possible! I have it my rocket up and running very smoothly on a new mac pro with a Kona3,ati card and a 3ware raid card. Fing fast! Drilled holes in my raid cards mounting bracket to get the hdsdi cables out. Thus not voiding the warranty on my mac pro.

I use FCP but have a few clients that want MXF files for their avid. I have been using Jamfuze by jamie to get them Avid MXF files because it makes there import time Real time. They tell me DNX imports are not fast enough?! Somthing like 1.5 to 1 ratios. I know, they are greedy. Oh well.

I would love to be able to give them MXF files with my rocket! Any chance this could happen? Also I can only do DNX files in 175 flavor. It would be cool to be able to at least give them DNX36 to offline with. More flavors of DNX comming? batching? Edl conforms?

Other than that I just started laughing to myself when I first got this up and running! So used to watching frames count down in clip finder and Red Rushes! No timed renders yet but it's real time or fatser!!! Also I love that I am able to scrub and see playback on my monitors in real time from the R3d's!

Thanks! Just wanted to share my joy and thoughts for the next vers. of the software.

Oh yea.... it seems to freak out sometimes and not show the next clip I am loading from the browser below. To get it back running normal I have been hiding the app or double clicking on the top of it to put it in my dock then bringing it back up. This seems to show me the next clip I am highlighting in my bin of clips below.

Simple question, I assume you have tried automatic duck for FCP to MXF? It works great, though I doubt its optimized for Red Rocket.

Thanks for the info. Can you upgrade to 10.5.7 and the latest and try it again?

Hey Deanan,

We've been getting this problem under 10.5.7.

Any word on the 100 IRE limit? Thanks

The QT export issue should be fixed in the next build but we haven't checked that specific case yet.

No word on the limit (no scope over the weekend to test all the different modes with).
 
I'll test it tomorrow if I can get to my computer. If I remember correctly, there have been a few clips where there is no problem exporting a custom prores hq file, but when I try to use the qt preset, this error occurs. I'll see if I can recreate that.

There's a new build that should be released tomorrow with more QT changes.
For the better :)
 
Great thread, I've yet to install the Rocket for liftoff... good stuff here for sure
thanks for burning the midnight oil on this one deanan
and everyone else for input.
 
haven't used the Rocket in a few days, so I may be behind here, but...

if I export Quicktimes and background render while making corrections on another clip, then

A) the RocketCine display window jumps around, reframing the shot
B) the QT that is rendered does the same thing

doesn't seem to do this unless background rendering is happening. which I have not been doing - but I'd like to start...
 
also...will there be a way to cancel a render that is happening in the background?

and will there be a progress bar added, at some point...it is a little bit hard to check on what is being rendered and how far along the batch is...
 
and one more thing - if I hit the "generate wrappers" button, my color space is radically different - dropped in a few jpgs for illustration...

ok, being quiet and listening now...

If i use this to create MXF files from FCP will the files have the same file names? Also would I need to create another avid ALE or would I just use the one created from Red Rushes? Thanks.

After a firmware upgrade you might see the card go into 4x mode temporarily, try doing a complete power off then rebooting and it should go back to 8x.

10.5.8.. Upgrade or wait?

10.5.8 seems to be working fine here... I say go for it, but make a proper backup first. 10.5.8 is mostly a security update as far as I'm aware anyway.
