  • 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 :)

Here it is...

Looks good, and much appreciated..

..but, I wish Red wouldn't keep reminding us that Redcine/Redcine X is free, then I wouldn't have to keep reminding them that their bloody file format is proprietory, the R1 is $17,500+, and that I would never have bought a camera like the R1 without decent transcode tools, which Redcine was meant to be (for windows).. can't wait to be able to transcode r3ds to quicktime or avi for offline editing, something Redcine could never quite manage on my imac (ATI) or any of my windows machines (Nvidia).. to this day :banghead: :beatdeadhorse5: just saying!

Raw output will definately help with my workflow, which at the moment is limited to TIFF and DPX from redcine , so good work..if I'm indeed correct about RAW export being included (from the video).. looking forward to my drives becoming three times bigger :hurray:

yep. all we are looking for right now is a working version of REDCine that combines the export stability and options of red alert. that would suffice.

It sure would.. with RAW export, and the ability to batch process clips after first setting in-out points for each, just to make it useful..

To get to a working camera you would spend at least $25,000. You would be purchasing a professional tool. I'm not sure it's fair to expect that a consumer machine would have the capabilities to process professional quality footage. Just saying.

I don't quite understand this statement. Are you saying that a PC is a consumer machine? What I read from his statement was that he was looking forward to a PC solution that delivered what he needed for output to which REDCINE may have fallen short. This was certainly the case in having the choice of DNxHD codecs.

And I would add that the perception is that you can deal with R3D files from a laptop on up - what you are trading off is speed, not quality. The only reason for all the additional tools on Mac is becuase they are using the R3D QT component and REDline which is only available on OS X.

I'm not familiar with the Windows workflow so cannot comment on it's efficiency. But, since RONX specifically mentions the iMac, I got the impression he's talking about consumer equipment. Just wanted to point out that may be an apples to oranges comparison.
 
Got it, thanks.

And the rest.. I only bought an imac because I got a VERY good deal, and because Redcine didn't deliver early on, but ..apart from e-sata, whats the difference between a Mac Book Pro and an imac with 4gig ram? I think its perfectly reasonable frankly to transcode footage on such machines, its a powerful machine with a professional operating machine!

Anyway, if Red want to only sell camera's to people with Mac Pro, I think the soccormom revolution is a non-starter..
 
Which is why I say the difference should not be in quality, but in time depending on CPU and horsepower. It's always the conundrum of "pick any two" of good, fast and cheap.

Will it be Windows 7 compatible from the start? I know RC-X is launching several months before Win7 but lots of people (ie me) are using it (in Release Candidate form) already because it's just so much better than Vista.
 
100% agreed... Thank You Guys.
and keep coming:sifone::sifone:

Well RedCine is compatible with Windows 7 right now (I'm using the 64bit RC), so I can't see any reason why Redcine-X wouldn't be.

HTH

That looks great; I can't wait for the download to be available!
