Hey Chris, because it's not a live tool, I wouldn't be afraid to use it in production, I certainly am.

The reason they say don't use beta builds in the camera is you are on set and can't afford anything unpredictable.

Since RR outputs 20x faster than a machine without it, just run your files through. If you like them, use them! If there's a problem, run them through again!

I just ran 5 hours of R3Ds through in 5 hours, fully debayerd and looking beautiful. Pretty sweet.

only mac? any PC solution?

The app is built for pc also but at the moment we're trying to get all the features in first that people are requesting. We'll do a pc release as soon as we can.

Ah... Repeat that. It's only for a MAC right now me thinks.

Edited... built for pc also but not ready for release as we're moving quickly to get features in first on the mac side.
 
Hey Chris, I go out to ProResHQ as I need to multi-cam edit 5-7 cameras so ProRes is perfect.

I do a 1-light to make it look as close as possible to my final so I don't have to grade the ProRes, it falls apart pretty quickly.

I'll eventually move to ProRes444 or maybe even just use it as an offline and grade from R3Ds. But for now it's working really well and the Rocket has been a Godsend in my line of work.

In fact, Monday afternoon I did a full debayer on five 70 minute R3Ds. It was done in 5 hours!!! I used to wait 4-5 days to get 1/2 high debayer out, and that was using two machines!

Combine that with the new color science, which looks amazing in low light, and I'm ripping through the shows in no time flat.

working on Redcine X since about 2 hours, love it so far, two things i couldnd´t find so far,

1. Rendering to ProRes 4444 generates a QT movie in black, Pro res HQ works fine, hmm ?
2. How can i apply looks to other files, I save it it the looks window, select another clip, but "apply to selected" doesn´t do anything ??

RedROcket is killer !!! Love it !

thanks for that great toy ;)

In the released build, it looks like you have to click on the look after saving and then hit apply.
 
Any chance on an overall save option...like working on projects type thing? (Can't see it so thought I'd request it if possible :) )

Had a small issue just now which is why I'm asking for it...I had the same issue with the 4444 codec and foolishly closed RocketC after rendering without checking...so thats fine...I then just re-did the same corrections I had done before (my color is broken so RocketC is like my correction for now) and well...as I did the ProRes 4444 codec option and pressed for the output folder...it crashed...

maybe I'm missing a safety procedure so I can secure myself from losing my changes...love this thing but I don't want to repeat again what I did before (although I will have to)

Thanks,

Absolutely for saving sessions and also RSX support.
RSX support first and the sessions a bit later.
 
Hey Deanan,

I'm getting an error when rendering out of RocketCine doing the Proxy 1280x720 codec...

comes up in the details column as 'exporter unable to process frame: 1638489'

did the clip twice to make sure it was the error and both times its a different frame...when i did the 4444 codec that I said last night...it all came out fine...

Is there something I'm not doing right?

Thanks,
 
did a install of the older build 491 and then reinstalled 566, now i can apply looks to other clips and presets stay in the look list after a restart.
 
Hi Imran,

I get this as well, but usually only on long clips, like 90 minutes, and always on different frames.

Looks like you are processing long clips as well. Deanan has been looking into this, you aren't doing anything wrong.
