  • 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 RedCine 1.0.1!!!!!!

I hope the leopard version comes soon as camera owners in '08 will be buying newer faster macs on leopard.

I know they developed for Tiger but it only make sense to wait to get a new MAC when the camera arrives and for most people that will mean leopard NOT tiger.

I think there is more to fix than just an OS change. I'm know it is going to be an incredible app but right now, not ready; I'm putting it on my Christmas wish list.

The best news is:
there is still

RED ALERT

Which in itself is a little killer app.

David
 
Red Alert is indeed killer, very stable.

Hello...

I'd venture to say this may be your system.

REDCINE is working without crashing or instability on quite a few systems - including a WinXP and OSX box that I have. I've been in touch with an awful lot of people for whom REDCINE is working pretty flawlessly.

When REDCINE works, it works well and correctly. When it doesn't, then it doesn't. And pretty much 100% of the time, that is directly system related.

You can work on figuring out what's incompatible between REDCINE and your system, but blaming the app is the wrong way to go here. Because if it doesn't work now, it probably will never work on the system you are using. And your problem will not get solved...

Thanks for the tip Lucas, no need to get snippy. The app worked once for me with beautiful results but I gave up after several failed attempts. I posted a couple of logs but got no response so I figured bugs where being worked on and in the meantime switched to red alert.
The system I was using was a macbook pro 2.33 Intel dual core with 3 gigs of ram and an external g raid. I tried both tiger and leopard. I'm trying to wait till January before I buy a new box but perhaps I need to reconsider. Any suggestion ?

David: it's currently not supported under Leopard but it runs fine on a couple of Leopard systems here and I've heard of customers using it on Leopard without any problems too.

Do you have a new macbook with the Intel graphics card in it? I don't think that will work with REDCINE.
 
What the f*#@ am I doing wrong then ? I guess I better give it another go then.

Bingo Rob,

It's the intel.
Thanks.
Good to know.

I'm running REDCINE - both versions on a Macbook Pro, 2.33GHz C2D, ATI X1600 video and Leopard 10.5.1.

Both work just fine, other than known bugs. I actually have a bit better luck with the REDCINE 60. What I have found is that certain applications open while REDCINE runs will cause it to behave funny. Close all applications so only Finder is running and then load REDCINE and you should be fine.

Specifically, I have found that:

Having Mail running occasionally messes with playback - why?

Having Safari open will cause all my shot thumbnails to appear as grey boxes - huh?

Having Shake or Photoshop open can have the same effect as Safari, but will also mess with output, sometimes giving me blank image files or other screwy things.

I much prefer REDCINE over RED ALERT. But maybe that's just me. I'm hoping we get a REDCINE update soon.

I'm running the same setup and have no apps running in the background. The problem I keep having is something will render about half way through and then freeze on a frame for the duration of the clip. I would love this app if only I could get it to work !!!!! update please or help if you know what the issue is..Rob ?

What is the story with the new Macbook Pros? I have a 2.4 with NVIDIA 8600 card and hi res screen with 4gb RAM. Greg, is that the same setup you are running? Renders are very slow.

Should we contact NVIDIA about their Mac drivers? Seems I've got a problem in FCP where the picture will tear apart and it's a documented issue between FCP and the card/driver. Others have experienced the same thing. Hate to think I have a new, yet unreliable machine when it comes to doing what I got it for which is FCP editing and Redcine. Thoughts?

Steve,

You can try that... but...

Apple writes all their own drivers. NVidia provides a low-level API, and Apple writes the drivers and bundles it into the core. So if you want to contact somebody, you need to contact Apple.

Bottom line - ATI for Apple, NVidia for Windows.
