  • 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 :)

OK... REDCINE-X time.

Jarred,

I really like RedAlert/RedRushes. It is robust, down to earth, simple, never pretended to be cool - just a tool. RedCine was a kind of poser, never worked to its expectations.

Now RedCine-X. The GUI is mouth watering, modern - makes you play with your footage. I love tiny things like playing a clip by tipping its thumbnail in the browser. I like the curve module. Using the sliders and seeing how the curve alters its shape gives you an idea what curves are really about. Menaingful is the possibility to hide the curve and use the sliders solely. The WB module is how it should be, Iridas have that this way a long time and I'm glad to see you implementing this using not only temperature but also tint - important for shots under fluoroscent light for instance.

I'm not sure how you store grading data, nor do I know by now wether it does eat EDLs but I'm sure that RedCine-X, with or without RedRocket, will fill a gap RedCine never filled: the ability to create conveniently rushes with a first-light grade.

Things come together. Patientally waiting for Epic,

Hans
 
Wow, this thing is fantastic! So many nifty little features that are so well thought out. The clip selection is outstanding, what a helper that little jewel is. Playback in both directions again, neat. The Curve with the straight line and the sliders is wonderful! Have to go, more playtime is needed...

someone mentioned it already but its sure cool to just let the Clip Browser tunnel into an entire volume and find all the clips on the drive.. I have found a ton of old footage that was tucked into odd folders that I totally forgot about.

YES! Another cool feature! Back on the curves, love the program setting buttons on the side. I presume these might be enabled at some later point to create personal presets?
 
Thank you! You have a great company going. The idea of not being protectionist is so rewarding. You are a truly modern company.

Some of my clips on my media volume is recognised but is not displayed with it's picture but black. The info on it says it contains no frames and that the file dimension is -1 x -1. It plays in old Redcine. This is not a complaint, I know it'a Alpha.

Time to third-party efforts...

Time to third-party efforts...

Having this out you must think that it will generate, among the plethora of creativism found on this forum, sketches and plans for developing potential support software, plugins, etc. that can be used on the intentionally open areas left by Red (they already have been clear about it earlier when Redcine-X was announced), so we all can enjoy the hugh effort they have put into this beauty. :badputer:

Exiting times!!! :party:
 
I can't wait for this interface to gain it's robust functionality. The UI is very nice. The only complaint I have with the UI is that is makes for a slightly more cluttered screen and smaller video window on say a 15" MBP.

One thing I loved about RC 20 versus RC-X is that the controls window / tabs in RC allowed for a more image centric arrangement of a laptops limited screen.

This is all being said about an alpha. Make no mistake though. I love it.
 
Wow- nice job. I've seen less effective full releases than this 'Alpha' and the UI totally rocks. I loaded, graded and exported my first clip in less than a minute after firing it up for the first time. Give the engineers a huge pat on the back.

Would anyone mind directing me to a couple of links where I could download some .r3d's to play with. I'm traveling and would love to play with this when I have some downtime. I know I have seen a million posts with linked footage on here, but searching for ".r3d" doesn't return any results. Thanks in advance.

That is one very cool looking interface. Really makes you want to sit down and grade shots.

I think Apple may have a bit of competition from RED when combining
high functionality with highly inspired design.

I hope the developer community can get aboard as soon as they can as this software and it's plug in support can probably address any lingering issues for the RED in post. Of course the sooner this is dealt with the better.

Thanks for the first look.

Hello Bal,

Yes, I've been testing with MXO, although current MXO beta driver doesn't officially support Snow Leopard.

MXO is different from any other video I/O, it has two modes, one is to use the same way as Kona, Blackmagic, called mastering mode, that you select MXO as output from FCP and Color to output video at HD or SD. The another mode, is called presentation mode, that outputs the desktop to HDSDI. What I'm doing right now is that I place the REDCINE-X's monitor window (thank god it's an independent window now) to the MXO's desktop side, so I can monitor this on my TVLogic XVM-245W. RedRocket accelerate the R3D on desktop playback, too, so this is good and valid way to make decisions on baselight grading (there's a little issue on this beta since the color profile is not quite perfect but close enough). Luca reported MXO beta driver is having issue with audio playback, I'm not connecting to the speakers at this point, so not sure if I have the same issue.

But remember MXO is only 8-bit, so you can only judge the depth of color at 8-bit output.

Ahh Got it.
The next q is off topic here and is related to redrocket and may already be asked. Will red rocket be compatible with fcp. real time editing with rd3 files. I know currently fcp does not support r3d file direct into timeline. Or for that matter adobe premiere does, hence i thought it will be cool having that kind of ability in the editing apps!
 
absolutely love where it's going!

thanks for sharing!

favorite red app by far... and that little icon on its own makes me want a red rocket..
 
This is so cool! Not to insult, and as a compliment, it's like iMovie for RED!?!?!

RED Rocket™ support is in the new RED SDK... so applications that upgrade to the new SDK will be able to use the power of the RED Rocket™.
