  • 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 :)

Crimson Workflow is available for download.

Likewise... crimson rox. though the only issue with crimson would be redcine. like if you want to export an ad that you cut in fcp and put into redcine using crimson... you'd color correct... you like the correction... and you want to export the whole thing as a 4K .dpx file from redcine for film print out... ull suffer.

now some dude is gonna come up and say why dont you proxy dpx files from the very beginning (exporting dpx files using redalert).

well cause dpx files are huge compared to r3d files. so i'd rather edit it while it's raw and export the final thing to dpx. which takes up waaaaaay less hd space.

hm... That' sort of what I do (when not going directly to a videoformat, 'cept I limit myself to 2k, as there isnt really much 4k gear around me...

AND I take the dpx for a grading ride... Why do I suffer? :)

Agreed, it would be much better to go FCP (proxies) -> send to COLOR -> som sort of RL/RC onelight interface -> Grade. I'd save myself an extra set of DPXs, and I guess this is coming, but 'cept from that?

if you have r3d files named by the user....lets say goodmorning.r3d....
then you have some problems using crimson...


Because if this works, and you have duplicated filenames in your footage...you could easily change one of them and use it....

but if you know another way of how to handle duplicated filenames, just tell me please.

You should never be naming files that way. But if you are you can just use the "Pick" Button to link up any R3D.

I am a stupid a$$...

I was thinking:
Why not batch render in RL from Crimson and sidestep the whole REDCINE ordeal untill it stabilizes/gets faster/can send renders to redline, but I don't see where I change from rec to log (if this is @ all possible)...

What I need to do is:
Set WB (by number)
Lower exposure 0.4
Set scale option
Render DPX to separate folders.

It looks like it is all in there, so I guess I am the dumb one.

Glad you noticed :wink:
I am doing some more work on the Redcine pipeline, but my main focus is Redline. I just released 9.2 and I'm hunting bugs, there will be a 9.2B and 9.2C if more bugs come to light. 9.3 however is a big deal. Major rebuild + huge new features. Just when you thought Crimson was going to become irrelevant, you realized you weren't inside my head :gun: Crimson is 1.0 by end of May, and I aim to have 1.0 in every post house and... on every set.

Hi again... :)

Gee. Either I was blind (which I guess I was) or this thing is turning into a real beast :)

Why does it say "narrow selction by xxx"
Is this a way to select only some clips or does it do something to the renders...

The curve, how do I set it?

And what do you mean by "gluetools support" What do I need that for? Can you send XMLs directly from Crimson to FCP with all the pointers intact?

I'd buy it again (Crimson, I mean) if that was true. No manual labour! :)

RC has moved in priority... :)

The Python window...

Nice work!

Crimson is here to stay!

The adjust selection button only adjusts what is selected, unless nothing is selected, (Select All and Deselect do the same, just like Photoshop.) Narrow selection allows you quick ways to select certain types of clips.

Not yet. Soon.

No new builds since February, still no color data in XML.... Kind of problematic.

Yes execute you own little functions. Probably the last thing I will enable before 1.0

Glad to see you've had a change of heart :biggrin:

GO CRIMSON!!! Bought it a few days ago and it's a lifesaver! Looking forward to end of May now.
 
I will buy that book. In fact, that reminds me, I need to buy Crimson.
 
But what made you think i disliked Crimson?

I use it every day and is the core of my workflow.

I wasn't too found of Log and Transfer, though. And I do look foreward to RAW support in anything. But without Crimson, I wouldn't have a workflow. And honestly I fear that COLORs RAW implementation will somehow be ProRes based (when you're out of the development stage)...

Don't know how or why, but still, it's Apple, right?
