I've got about 3 1/2 hours of footage that for some reason I am just getting a white screen when opening the Red proxies on our Mac. We've installed the REDCODE codec into the Quicktime library, and still the picture is white. We downgraded the quicktime version to 7.31 and no change. We've upgraded Final cut to 6.02 even though we aren't using it as well. Is there something I can do to force the system to recognize the REDCODE codec?
 
The original footage was shot 4k 2:1, and some offspeed footage was 2k.
 
Did you update RedCine lately? Go to the Library and delete the RedCine stuff and try again.

I've talked to another editor who has a G5 and he has no problem with the proxies. Very odd.
 
Not from what he told me. He was able to look at the proxies and bring them into his final cut project.
 
So I borrowed a Macbook and installed the RED codec and still got the white screen. So I don't think it's an intel only thing, as this was an intel mac.
 
You've got two different problems.

1-The Red codec does not work on PPC machines. That's the way it is. If somebody is telling you different, then there's confusion.

2-If it's not working on a Macbook, then that's a separate problem.
 
Am I right in thinking that the only thing QT recode doesn't support is 4K 16:9? Or does it not support 2K 16:9 either?
 
1. you indeed need an Intel Mac. None of our software works on the older PPC Macs, that includes REDCODE QuickTime codec

2. the codec currently does not support 4K 16:9 files (it works fine in 16:9 with 3K & 2K files). Next update fixes that

3. under Tiger (on Intel) you need to be at QT 7.3.x or 7.4.5+ to not have the white screen problem

After this it should be smooth sailing
