How to change the drive mapping of R3D files

[Michael Morlan]

Hi all,

I've been using REDCine successfully on set for several projects. I have a basic problem that, I hope, will be more elegantly handled by REDCine in future releases: How to find files that have moved.

Right now, I would like, at the very least, to be able to open a .rcn file and not have RC crash because the removable hard drive of the project has changed drive letters (we're on PC here.)

An attempt to hex edit the drive letters in the .rcn file results in "cannot load context" error messages when loading and no footage. (At least RC doesn't crash.)

Thoughts? What's a DIT to do?

Thanks,

Michael

Windows lets you change the drive letter back.

That said, a "reconnect" would be nice.

Any update on this issue? I've got two related situations: 1) r3d files purposely moved in order to free up space, and 2) loading the same rcn file on both mac & pc (which requires changing the path to the r3d's).

I've had some luck manually editing the rcn in the first case (different location, same machine) - but no luck in the second.

I've posted multiple times for the same issue about missing files that have been moved. There should be a simple button that asks

(begin sarcasm)

"Do you want to locate the missing these files, or build up great resentments for Red Cine for not letting you do this because you don't use Mac or FCP???"

It's a such a basic feature of any media software. Please incorporate in next version!
