  • 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 :)

How do "resize" REDCINE-X Pro (15, and 16) project panels / "reset workspace"?

Dear all,

I have a strange issue, I was using REDCINE-X Pro 15 with a red rocket card installed. Monitor is a dell 22in with 1680x1050 resolution. Things have been working well, but upon anOS crash and restart, the right panels of REDCINE-X now extends beyond the desktop / monitor and are cut off.

This is a bit difficult to explain, but please see screen cap below:

I have upgraded to REDCINE-X PRO 16 now in hope that this will be resolved on its own, but no such luck.

Funny thing is if I opt to do FULL SCREEN VIDEO, everything fits nicely. Screen cap again below:

I'm wondering if there's a way to "reset" the workspace, or "resize" the project window / far right panels such that I can gain access to the far right settings again?

Thanks!
Michael

Hi all,

Just a quick update. I had to do a hard restart today (OS crashed but with something unrelated to REDCine-X), and strangely, upon the restart, the problem magically fixed itself. I'm now able to see the far right controls on the right panels.

Not sure if this is perhaps just a bug with my resolution settings within the OS itself.

Either way, I'm glad this is resolved, but I do wish to know why it happened and how to fix it for future reference! Any advice / comments are welcome.

Michael

What if you toggle the system display resolution, quit RedCineX Pro, then start it up again? I suspect this has to do with the way the program is communicating with the operating system.
 
I had a similar issue. Solved with right clicking on the mouse over the right panel and there's some sort of arrange function. Haven't got redcine x opened but I think after doing the right click its easy to figure out.
 
I FOUND THE SOLUTION !!!!

You have simply to modify the Preferences.ini in the preference file in the library application support ! (with TextEdit)


you have to modify to set the main position point call "main_pos=" to 0 0 exactly like that :

main_pos=@Point(0 0)

Now you can see the border of the window, and modify the size or go full screen easy as any other apps !

He he !

Im having a problem that Redcine on my Mac (latest OS) is a little bit bigger than the screen. I cannot reach the buttons that are to the most right. Does anyone know how to fix this.
I cannot find the preferences.ini file

Having the same problem (MBP 11.5 with Catalina). Cannot find the preferences.ini file as well
Anyone solved this recently?
 
Is it really only 5 of us having had this problem? I have to move Redcine left and right all the time. Annoying..
 
Have you guys tried CTRL+SHIFT+F for PC and I think CMD+SHIFT+F for Mac?. You may have to do it 2 times in a row or only once.


It should go from No White bar at the Top

To a White Bar at the top, which will allow you to move the interface around and resize it.

In Mac's "System Preferences" go to "Displays" and then choose the Resolution to "Scaled" --> "More Space".
It does the trick on my MacBook Pro 13" M1, Big Sur.
Hope it helps! :thumbsup:

Same M1, Big Sur. It does the trick at the beginning. I double click on a clip and boom, right side expand beyond monitor screen..
There really is no sense. I downloaded a new copy of RCX on a fresh new 13'' M1
How can it be?
