  • 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 :)

excellent news. you made a bunch of people happy in berlin today!

with cli and QT on windows, the -main- missing gaps in the workflow for longform and fullfeature work here are closing.

We have 2 fullfeatures coming up in the next quarter which will be shot mostly with red, both with shooting ratios >10:1, both with parallel datawrangling, rough editing, VFX work while shooting. The rushes/daily/avid/discreet pipeline with the cli is -so- much easier to handle than with redcine.

thank you very much!

one question:
does the redline cli needs gpu or is it cpu only?
we have to plan ~32 cpus for the redrenderfarm here and it would be a nice cost (and energy) saver to use onboard grahics instead of nvidia boards in the blades.
 
Cool - can you pass this some kind of XML configuration file for colour stuff? So you could load your footage up in RC, add your curve, white balance, cropping there, and then export a file to pass to the farm?

Color "look" file (or 1D LUT) spec has not been released yet - I am counting the days ...
 
Because this is in REDAlert, am I to assume we PC people must wait?

:(

Please tell me I'm wrong

You know Jay,

Each year thousands of Macbook pros and Mac Pros enter this world
lonely and unloved....won't you care just little for one of these poor innocent macs? for just pennnies a day you too can join the community and adopt a Mac.

You ain't got 'nothing on me... I'm still waiting for Linux tools. At least you have Beta software, whether it works or not. You people look at my like I'm smoking something... Roswell, JFK, WMD's in Iraq, and Linux RED tools...

Now, shut the hell up and quit your bitching! :umm:

It's cpu only and will probably be that way for some time. GPU implementations are hugely inconsistent even between versions which makes supporting them really really hard.

Jay, that makes us twins. We have 13 quad core XP PRO systems with 4gb RAM and ATI cards and we can't do anything with our Red footage yet... Our fingers are crossed and getting numb, but Kevin and Brent have kept us up to date and we're excited.

To those who continually suggest we invest in Mac, please understand that we(and many others) are deeply invested in our XP PRO render and working environments and when you urge that we just use a Mac, you're not taking into account the additional software and codec costs, infrastructure, IT, training and all of the higher expenses associated with changing platforms to work with Red footage. The multi-platform scenario is the best solution and we greatly appreciate Reds efforts, being an equal opportunity deployer as they are.

Maybe this might sound stupid, but what is the advantage of using command line tool?

Not to seem unhelpful, but if you are asking a question like that, it is probably not your tool of choice.

For people who are doing automated processing, usually distributed over several machines, command-line tools are the only way to go. For example, distributed work on many systems being run from some script, you have to control the tool via command-line parameters, config files, or similar. The interface requirements are quite different from an interactive session run by one person with screen, keyboard & mouse.
 
Is REDline multi-threaded? How well does it scale across multiple CPUs? Any comments on RAM usage from anyone yet?

Just wondering if it is more efficient to assign an instance of REDline to each CPU core, or if it will scale well on its own.
