Quicktime and h264 h.264 Exporting from RedCine

[Matt Paul Catalano]

I am able to export Quicktime files, specifically H.264 compressed videos in older version of RedCine X but after installing the latest version on a fresh Macbook Pro the option no longer appears. Is there a separate piece of software that needs to be installed now or am I missing something?

Matt,


Seems to be a problem in the PC as well, but I have always exported ProRes 4444XQ files out of Redcine-X. So I'm wondering how long this has been an issue.

But it also seems that I don't have Quicktime installed either.

Maybe just export out a flavor of Prores into your editing software and wait to export out a H.264 file out of that NLE.

Having the same issue. Need to be able to create files for clients direct from R3Ds, that they can view and work with that are not ProRes. Ideally H.264 or MP4. If it isn't available in Redcine, is there another quick workflow?

Hey. Has anyone found a solution to this?
I use the H264 report on Red-Cine to export rushes that are playable on an iPhone and can be sent to the client quickly from out at sea.

I really need to do it all on the one application.. Its a pain this has disappeared. I have tried rolling back the version and hey get an error trying to select the codec.. Any ideas.

thanks in advance

Is it possible to have 2 versions of Red Cine X on my Intel MacBook Pro. I really need to be able to export Quick Time h264 on occasions. I was thinking of installing an older version of RCX for this purpose.

Just a reminder for those who don't have their nose to the grindstone. RCX never had a direct H.264/MP4 option. It had H.264 via QuickTime. In 2019, I think around then:

Apple removed QuickTime support from MacOS, subsequently RCX lost the ability to export H.264, as well as the other QuickTime codecs.

So if hell bent on this, you'd need to go back to a previous MacOS and install an older version of RCX.

Beta and non-Beta builds of RCX can be installed at the same time for sure.

If you are looking to tackle this particular workflow thing for free, I'd recommend DaVinci Resolve. I haven't used the free version, but I suspect it has support for H.264. Adobe has it in Media Encoder as well.
