  • 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 :)

link if this is brought up all the time, bu i just downloaded RED ALERT and imported an .r3d file and asked it to create a QT proxy, which it did, but when I open it it's just a white screen and a window pops up saying that a component is missing and I might be able to download it from apple.com

Any ideas?
 
thanks, got the plugin and it works :) kinda...

I'll be back with more questions about this for sure.

THANKS!
 
HEY Nathan! sry, didn't realize it was you! :)
 
alright, so my next question is that i can't get any of the proxies to play at 24fps. The medium ones play at around 8 and the small ones play at about 12.

im on a MBP 2.33ghz/2gigs ram
 
just tried it and there's no difference. I'm using FCP5 though if that matters

Wait, before that, what is your QT Codec? I have been using H.264 for my .mov files.

what do you mean? I'm using RED ALERT's "make quicktimes" function. Do i have controls over that that I'm not aware of?
 
ah, yeah ok, I hit RENDER and see the different codecs. I rendered a 264 version and it plays back much better, although not perfect.

but it took about 2 minutes to render a 10 second clip. I was under the impression that other people were able to just grab the medium quicktime proxie and start editing with it on a laptop. is this not true?
 
Click the big RENDER button below your S curve box, it then it allows you to change your settings as an output (for ProRes or in my case a .mov file) and designate a folder to export your 2k proxy to.
 
I haven't, it takes me a while to render...You can start editing right away in REDCINE if you wanted to go that route.

can you explain hot to use RED CINE to make proxies to edit with? Also, i opened the 10 second r3d into RED CINE, did some color to it, scaled it to HDTV and asked it to export as a quicktime file and it said it was going to take 40 minutes!

does all this sound right???
 
I had that problem with REDCINE at first. I didn't have it in my applications folder so it didn't operate as fast as it normally should. I moved it to my applications folder, things worked better. But I still get a blue screen on occasion saying "failed to load image buffer". You can load a whole sequence of shots from REDCINE, they appear in your log line, set your in and out points, color correct, then click output, change your settings to h.264 and a quicktime movie, then GO, that funny big red logo on the side, then your set to edit in FCP.
 
when you get a chance, could you do me a favor and import the medium proxy of one of your r3d's into into final cut and see if it plays back properly?
 
from red alert. can you make proxies from redcine?
