First post of this type for longtime red shooter and post person who's got a tendency to work it out myself. Second, I know RedCine X is not release. But I just invested in a RedRocket for all the reasons we all did - on set and off - and it IS amazing - to use it, RocketCine and RedCine are it. RocketCine crashes and has similar problems and has critical limitations, and RCX has been somewhat more stable the last 2 weeks. I'm editing 4 projects, all under deadlines where I have to Rocket-render. Rendering non-rocket through rushes is a hard to swallow solution after spending 4 grand on rocket.
So, I just lost 6 hours of work for the 2nd time. I am selecting, grading, setting I/O points, etc in RCX, then batch rendering. I save the project itself like every 30 seconds using the keyshort. Save save save project paranoid. Then batch render - after rendering between 5 and 30 clips, RCX crashes during the render (using Rocket). So I open my project, note what rendered, and start over. But now, open the project, and this last 2 times about 30 of the 100 clips I graded and set IO on have "lost" their grade, and their IO points, and the other 70 clips I selected, graded, set IO on are simply not there. Gone. 6 hours of work...poof. Again.
Its maddening. I don't have RSX files to re-grab and start the render over - in RA or the old RC, I often had crashes on overnight renders (thus rocket) but could re-open, and start over from where it crashed at least. But not now.
I'm also getting "garbage" frames in the renders often in 100FPS 2K footage.
I did not have verbose logging on, but I can turn it on. I would love to know how to get my graded bin back (is the metadata there somewhere?), or to know why saving the project is not really saving the project. I'm welcome to advice - use RocketCine instead? Similar problems, and I lose some grading options. Go back to using RedAlert and Rushes? It simply does not work on set under the gun, and that's why i spent a fortune on a rocket...but if that's the best option....do I need Scratch?
Details - MacPro late 08/early 09 intel quad, leopard current (not snow), 32GB ram, CalDigital ESATA w/16GB main online store, BlackMagic Decklink, ATA 4870 w Dual DVI Apple 23's, System drive 10K barracuda, RedRocket in slot 4 outputting HDMI/DVI. RedCineX build 104. Camera current release build 21 (not beta) for files in question. about 3/4 of the clips I'm working with are 100FPS 2K or 50FPS 3K. Monitoring through RRocket off during batch render (seemed to help). Crashes during batch render almost always if batch larger than 5 clips. That is tolerable if deeply annoying - its non release - but the complete loss of the actual file select and metadata is beyond painful.
HELP.
