I bought CS 5.5. Playing R3D files natively is very cool. However, lack of Epic audio is very uncool. In the meantime, what is the simplest way to export audio only from Redcine X Pro? I tried the Avid AAF export with audio only, but ended up with wacky text files instead of AAFs. Am I doing something wrong? Adobe - when might we see audio for Epic.?

Thanks, Tim Eaton
 
You actually want to use the MXF files when you export Audio Only using Avid AAF. They sound great. Only problem I'm having is that the length of the audio clip that it generates is about 20 times longer than the actual clip. But you just cut off the extra after the end of the clip once you line them up in Premier and you're good to go.

It's a stupid workaround. For now it'll have to do....

Ha, we keep getting dinged on that but Epic's didn't have audio when we released our support :) We know we need to get you guys a release with audio.

Understood David. I've got the MXF files working (thanks Jonathan), but essentially that's a pretty kludgy workaround which negates a lot of the ease of using the R3D files natively. I know you guys are working on it. Thx.
 
Any news on the audio?

Currently i'm using cs5 wich doesn't seem to support Epic files at all.
So i might need to upgrade to CS5.5 when we get a Scarlet. Does audio work by now on Windows Premiere CS5.5 ?
 
This may be a silly question, but...

I have CS5.

I see that CS5.5 is needed to support features such as new colour science, and HDR, etc.

But can I import Epic footage shot at 2K or 4K with CS5?

After all, it is still an R3D file, right?
 
Including Epic audio support must be much more complicated than we think judging from the amount of time it is taking to implement in NLEs... :-/
 
I hope Scarlet and Audio support is coming quick...
 
Antony, I tried to import Epic footage into Preminer Pro CS5, but it does not work because you need the Epic Importer which only works with CS5.5 or later.

My guess is this will be the same problem with the Scarlet footage, but I´m waitining on a confirmation on this in another thread.

Looks like we´ll have to upgrade to CS5.5.
I wanted to wait with upgrading till there is CS6 (maybee this spring) but i´ll might have to bite the sour apple and buy CS5.5 prior the CS6 release :o(
 
Mathias, You could always get the Subscription. Production Premium will be $49 a month starting in January.
 
Brandon, that might be a way to go. Did'nt thought about that route.
The only question is will the previous programms of my CS5 Mastercollection work along a subscribed CS5.5 Production Premium, or will i have to deinstall it and reinstall when CS6 is getting released.
Not really a on topic thought but maybee someone knows.

I still hope that Scarlet will be supported by CS5 but I highly doubt it due of the current situation.
But as you know: Hope dies at last.
Maybe Adobe makes an X-Mas present and delivers Epic/Scarlet support on CS5.
 
I wouldn't count on Scarlet/Epic support in CS5.

I think you can keep the Master Collection CS5 apps that are not part of Production Premium CS5.5 on your computer with your Production Premium CS5.5 install. You don't need a CS5.5 license to see if that works. Install the Production Premium CS5.5 30 Day Trial and then upgrade to the subscription when it runs out.

Also, with the subscription you get free upgrades...

CS5.0 supports RED ONE R3D files
CS5.5 supports RED ONE, EPIC & SCARLET R3D files
 
It won't work in CS5.0, sorry guys. Yes, it's still an R3D file, but to support all the advanced features in Epic & Scarlet it's very different compared to the R3D files the RED ONE created.

The audio issue is unfortunate, we had to change something last minute which didn't line up with Adobe's schedule. Coordinating these things is a job on its own sometimes :) I'm sure there will be an update soon!
