  • 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 :)

New Red Alert Batch processing?

You all should take a quick peak at REDrender in Automator - the new RA automatically installs this for you -

You will notice that you can choose a "Look source" -

And you will also notice that you can use RSX In/Out Points -

I wonder how long before some figures out that they can just ....:devil:
 
I rendered today DPXs out with the Redrender Action. I set no In and Out points in Redalert, and the Action/Render was hanging at the 179th frame. Tried another clip, the same. Was Build 16 footage. With Redline and Redalert it was ok......
 
It's a bug with Automator. It's currently fixed for the next release (which isn't finished yet). If you need an intermediate build, send me an email.
 
THX Deanan that you are on it... tomorrow I go on holidays, so I don't need it this fast... but thanks for the offer....

Thanks for this script, it is great, the only thing is when I render my prores files it limits all their durations to 1min 05secs. Do you have any idea why this is happening. thanks

If you are writing to disks on a network share they are limited to 2GB. That is the only reason I can think of. I don't know why this is. Need to do more research.

Or if you drive is formated FAT then it will be limited to 2GB.

REDrender in Automator does nothing for me. I open Automator, search for Red, see REDrender and a couple other things. I can't drag REDrender to the right pane, I can't double click. It does nothing. What do I need to do to even see what this does?

Mahalo,

I can't get automater to work either, I see action redale and try to drag it to the right side nothing happens. Same with other actions, can it be something to do with the version of osx I am running.

With regard to the redline code I was not writing to fat32, every quicktime had same duration so it was very strange.
 
I will render one out again just with redline.
Do you think that the script is just looking at the first 2gb of each the .r3d files.
this would explain why every prores clip is roughly 1.3gb.
 
Lib,

The script does the entire .R3D file. I have several RAW files that are 6 or 7 .R3D clips long. The script renders them and one large Prorez file. My script just tells Redline where the files are, where to output them, and what Redline options to use. Redline does everything else.

I am not sure what is happening with your files?

Make sure Redline can properly render your files by itself.

What OSX versions and automator version are you using?
 
That could be the reason. All the testing here was done on 10.5.2 and automator 2.01. Since the automator actions are comipiled on 10.5.2 it could very well be incompatible with 10.4.

Which red automator actions are you guys using the most?
 
I have never used any of the Automator scripts. I am writing my own shell scripts with Redline and it is awesome. I just wanted to see what the Automator scripts did. The only thing I am missing is for Redcine to write .RSX files so I can use them with Redline.

Thanks
Dusty
