  • 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.

FYI:

If you use substitution and select the regular expression checkbox and put the top line as:
([A-Z][0-9]*)_(C[0-9]*)_([0-9]*[A-Z]*)

becomes:

\1_\2_\3_001.R3D

Crimson will match build 16 clips.

I'll build this in as soon as I can get out another build.

How's the shoot Ian - we all miss you here!!
 
Features break me Mark. My entire body aches. I've been bitten by mosquitos, ravaged sea lice, burned by coral and attacked by ants. I pulled my back out in a dolly party. I belly flopped hard off a 35 foot cliff testing an overhead rig. (got the whole thing in 4K) Every screw on my camera is covered in rust. I figured out that last week I worked almost 80 hours.

One more week to go. I'm ready to chill out in a coffee shop and write some f-ing code.

Who cares about your back! How does it LOOK????

I am kidding - looking forward to seeing you again and buying you a nice cold beer. (after you make sure all the sea lice are gone!)

Don't worry about the screws - we have stainless steel ones here for you - every size the camera uses - we replaced every one on all our cameras -

See 'ya soon!
 
Bloom.. build 16 editing workflow is reaaaal sucky without crimson.

it's like when ure walking down the street... happy.. and someone just outta f-kin nowhere pulls down ure pants.

- that never happened to me.. but i sure can imagine the feeling as it sucks that hard right now.

Akube,

Everyone has been pantsed at least once in their lives. I'm sure people in Abu Dhabi pull all kinds of crazy pranks. You should be a man and admit that it happened to you.

I am returning from my hiatus. Crimson 9.4 (Gowanas Yatch Club) is in final testing and should be up tommorow. Has build 16 support built in.

Crimson 9.5 (Reef Shark) is also up on my desktop right now and will be coming soon after.

Ian,

Where do you come up with the build names from?
 
My guess is that the names come from locations he is shooting, or something to do with where he is at the time. I could be wrong. :-)
 
Hi all,

I've been working with build16 clips with Crimson but pretty much working fine, but happy to hear for the update! Now that more jobs we have and we have to work quickly with footage, editing with proxies and use Crimson to conform and output only good takes with REDCINE makes most sense.

Ian, I reported 29.97 frame rate problem before, but with build16 clips, the roudtrip xml started working for some reasons. Crimson helped us finishing jobs for at least four major TV commercials.

By the way, I decided to sell of of my Panasonic P2 equipment if anyone interested.
 
I spoke too soon, a better expression is:

([A-Z][0-9]*)_(C[0-9]*)_([0-9]{4}[[A-Z]|[0-9]]{2})

becomes:

\1_\2_\3_001.R3D

Built-in manyana

Edit: I think it's ready today, in fact it's up now.

IBloom
 
Fantastic, Ian! Thanks.

I see you have addressed issues of construct errors in Redcine. That's great--my last two xml loads had this problem.

A problem I am having, though (I downloaded 9.4)-- I cannot get Crimson to export my Redcine XML--unexpected error occurs. Is this unique to me?

Well I'm not sure. I realize what Crimson really needs is deep brain surgery on it's XML engine. This is in the works but a big time consuming change. Do you want to send me the XML of your project?

IBloom
 
Ian,
I'm doing another project tomorrow and want the DIT to make all the downres files for me so that doing the pre-crimson edit is smooth.

Before I was using your droplet to downres everything to 1k proxies, but I just went through and updated RedAlert and RedCine and noticed there is now RedRushes. What are you doing for your downres'ing? Using the 1k droplet or using RedRushes and making 720p or SD files?

Thanks Ian! I actually reverted to the previous version and am manually editing the xml to include the full path name to the files.

Now that I am done with all my projects, I will upgrade to the newest versions of everything I have and start all over again. I'll let you know if it is still getting the error when I get all this set up.

I still retime files in RedAlert and then drop the newly generated reference files into a 1K droplet. However, I don't see a problem using Redrushes with Crimson Sean, it seems like a good way to go.

Whoa, "retime", what does that mean?

I've just been taking the camera-generated _M.mov files and dropping them into the 1k droplet.

If you load a file into redalert you can adjust the settings and most of the settings will be reflected in the new QuickTime reference files that you create. Doing this just means prettier proxies that look closer to what you want just while you are cutting. It's not neccessary since you will be returning to raw, it's just helpful for the director and editor, and also because screeners are often made straight off the cut.
