Output DNX for Avid QT black

[Anna Fuller]

Hi,
I'm trying to setup a workflow to import the red files into Avid using Redcine (Beta 3.15) by rendering QTs using the Avid dnxHD codec.

It renders a .mov but it is nothing but black.

Has anyone had this problem and fixed it?
I thought it may be that I don't have the correct codec installed but I'm not sure how to find that out?

Thanks in advance
Anna

We're having exactly the same problems here as well.

Did you have to press the "colour" button at the top of the screen or use hotkey "F" in order to view your shot?

I can see the shot fine in Redcine ( if that's what you mean re hotkey ''F'' )

It's the quicktimes that redcine renders out from the ''output'' button that are black, they're coming out approx 1/2 gig but there doesn't appear to be any data. Avid imports it fine and it's the correct duration, so it's not corrupt just black, if I open it through the Quicktime Player too.

Avid has released the updated QuickTime codec for R3D files here (scroll to bottom): http://www.avid.com/red/

If the codec doesn't fix the issue, try reinstalling Redcine. For a while there, any change to my system, like new software, tended to do screw up Redcine. It's a quick and easy uninstall and re-install.

I've just installed AvidCodecsLE 1.10 downloaded from Avid which seems to have done the trick, without upsetting Redcine.
