  • 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 :)

RED Turned off Alchemy

Just a mistake on our end guys. We'll fix it as soon as we can!
 
Pardon my ignorance, but just exactly where on REDCINE X does Alchemy reside, when enabled ? I know I must be having a "Man Look" but I can't find it any where.............. I even asked my wife & she doesn't know either :P
 
It's in the right hand column under the color wheel/circle adjustments. Now it just says 'need license' and is greyed out.
 
I don't like the sound of this, never mind that it was an error. I wouldn't trust my business to a piece of software that someone can disable remotely, whether on purpose or erroneously.

We were all made aware of the built in license expiration date when they extended it and it wasnt remotely disabled. and the workaround is to set your clock back.
 
You guys are not seeing the added bonus here. Setting your clock back not only lets you keep running Alchemy, but it makes you look like you got your work done a few days ago. In my case, it's going to make it look like I transcoded all the footage before I shot it today. Damn, I'm good.
 
Since I can't pull Alchemy settings into Premier or Resolve, I quickly abandoned it. You can get the same results with a thoughtful S-Curve, which does cross over in the RMDs.

Like Zack stated, it wasn't disabled remotely but written in code.
 
The previous version of REDCINE-X also had an expiring license for Alchemy. That was a big reason for the last v10 release, to extend that. Or at least that was the impression I got. I'm figuring that RED was planning to update by now, but I'm sure they're working hard at getting RC3/RG3 ready for us.
 
We'll get it straightened out. And RC3/RG3 in REDCINE-X Pro will be released before you know it. Frowns will turn to smiles.

Nice.. Thanks
 
I think alchemy is more than an s-curve, my impression has been that it's akin to the old screen multiply bleach bypass effect but in hsv space to avoid hue and saturation corruption.
