Greencode?

[Irri]

Everything I export as REDCODE from RedCine is just pure green. Other codecs work fine.

The REDCODE codec is decode only at the moment. I believe the possibility exists to support encoding in the future, but I'm not sure they're planning to...

Ah, that sort of makes sense. I didn't see why I was having to convert a .R3D to REDCODE. I couldn't find any way to get the QT wrappers for the .R3D file I was using.

Thanks for the info.

Ah, I see what you're trying to do. I had the same question. I'm not sure how to make the QT wrappers in REDCine, but it's easy in REDQuick which is now freely available on red.com/support.

R3D IS REDCODE. Same thing. The dropdown you're looking at is apparently for a Quicktime transcode, so it's essentially just showing all the available codecs on your system, REDCODE being one of them (even though it's decode only). All the other codecs should work fine.

[EDIT] Oops, I meant REDAlert.

 

[Irri]

Thanks again.

I thought the .R3D files were REDCODE, but I assumed there must be a way to get the wrappers. I don't see REDQuick on the website; just 2 firmwares, cine, alert, manual and the FCS2 plugin.

 

[Evan Owen]

Yeah, sorry. I meant REDAlert. Somehow my brain pulled that up from several months ago... :usd:

 

[Irri]

Can't get REDAlert until we get our cameras, can we?

 

[Evan Owen]

REDAlert is freely available on www.red.com/support.

I've been using it all afternoon, but won't have my camera until Jan-Feb. :biggrin:

 

[Irri]

So it is. I swear a password was required a few hours ago. Maybe I'm going mad

 

[Cüneyt Kaya]

you are right....but it changed

REDCODE is input/decode codec only indeed. The reason it's listed as REDCODE output is to support realtime playback in older versions of Final Cut Pro.
