Problem with REDCineX

[Bruno Martins]

I'm working with RED files for the second time, the first we used the normal RED One Camera and the REDrushes to create the ProRES, but now we recorded with the new Mysterium X and the REDrushes can't read the color informations, so I must change to the new software REDCine X but that is taking so long, there is another way to do it faster without the Rocket?

Clipfinder!

It is the most useful software for Red. Do quick color correction and batch render. Easy, fast, and quality.

If you are working with old Red footage the old free version of Clipfinder will work if you can find it, but the new version is well worth the $100.

Heya,

You have to use REDLine, which is provided by RED, to use more than one core in your machine. Unfortunately it's command-line based. REDRushes was the GUI for it but they aren't going to be updating it anymore (at least that's what they told me at NAB).

I've been dabbling with creating a simple Automator/Applescript droplet so I can batch render files without going to the terminal.

A bit to go on that, though.

Best,

A

Guys, thanks for help! But this software, clipfinder, isn't free, I don't know if really gonna work with this new RED Camera, and if really gonna be faster than REDCine X. There is some way to test before I buy it? And about the REDLine, how can I use it? I have no idea about command-line. Help me!

Heya,

First you need to download and install the most recent versions of REDcine-X and REDLine (I'm assuming you are on a Mac).

http://red.cachefly.net/redcinex/RED...ld_247_mac.zip
http://red.cachefly.net/redcinex/REDline_build_247_mac.zip

After you install, go into your /Applications/Utilities folder and double-click on the "Terminal.app" application.

If you type "redline" at the command prompt, you will get a long list of flags that can be attached to the command for settings.

Welcome to the command line. This is what Redrushes used to allow you to do but now you have to do from the command line until someone writes a nice GUI wrapper.

.. or you buy a Red Rocket card (which is on my list..).

I'm not aware of a manual for the REDLine command so you'll have to do read through the flags to get a feel for how to use the utility.

Sorry can't be more help than that.

Best,

ATF

Here is a link to the old free version of Clipfinder.

http://www.daun.ch/hamingja/


Here's an example of how to use Redline:

for FILE in $(ls */*001.R3D | awk -F "_001.R3D" '{print $1}'); do redline -i `echo $FILE"_001.R3D"` -w 11 --resizeX 1920 --resizeY 1080 --fit 2 --QTcodec 0 --useMeta -G 1 -D 100 --NR 100 -x -.4 -T 1.2 -C .5 -o $FILE"_VIDEO_ONLY.mov" ; done

This searches for files with *001.R3D in their name and renders out 1920x1080 quicktime files. Not that hard if you take your time.

Clipfinder is much easier though.
