Redcine Batch Processing Questions

[Mark Allen]

Okay - so I might be totally missing something, but I've searched and come up with nothing - so here we go:

I want to batch process in REDCINE - now... it seems like I'm running into two snags.

1) When I "Load All..." (a great feature) it stacks them up and does not actually load everything into the time line such that I could have all my clips exporting. The only solution is to load each clip individually or do a lot of click and dragging and that isn't faster. Is there something I missed here?

(I've removed number 2 because for some reason when I just tried it once more it seemed to work... so.... inconclusive... so just the first one now... just for the record, 2 was... 2) On export, the only way I can seem to get the files to export as individual clips is to use the export to folder feature. Now... I don't really want all my clips in individual folders because I'm rendering out ProRes on this this project for this batch. I could live with it, but I figured I'd ask before hand if there is another better way.)


Thanks.

Using 12-31-2007 version of redcine on an 8core.

Use depth 2 next to load all in the library. The last version of RedCine is very good at organizing all the clips in a linear fashion that's accurate even when there are big shots divided in two files.

I'm struggling with RedCine for another reason, it outputs still images after a while so I never managed to load a large amount of clips and do a long export. I'm trying the DNxHD with burn in TC cause I want to edit on Avid.

Using 1.0.2 build on PC quad core 2.4Ghz with Nvidia Quadro FX5500.

I had that problem already too - the outputting a still image. is there a limit to the number of files you can load before it does this?

 

[Arnaud Paris]

I've tried about 200 different configurations, my conclusion is that the graphic card is maxed up somewhere in the pipeline and starts to output the same images. I wish there was a way to include a regular flush routine for the long exports. Anybody else on this?

well, i did nearly 40,000 frames last night and while it didn't freze the frame, it did turn it all into one movie instead of individual clips - so my number two problem is back.

REDCINE problems - or is it me?

REDCINE problems - or is it me?

First of all I have to say REDCINE is really a great application. I just want to jump to Scratch and work on r3d files. But playing and managing looks with so many possibilities in REDCINE has allready made my day as a colorist...:biggrin:

I encontered following problems:

MacBookPro 2.4 intel core 2 Duo, 2Go ram

REDCINE v 1.0.2 build 74

1) Exporting in QT will create 1 (lowcontrast) frame for the whole duration of the clip
2) Reopening the project, some clips will be showned as off line (I suppose) icon of a Reel. Once the clip showed as off line and got online after 20 seconds (r3d clips are on boot drive).
3) Changing the "show resolution" will change "tint/hue" of the clip. (But I couldn't reproduce this problem afterwards... This was on a high contrast shot where I brought up details in the black and also a lot of grain (or gain)).

Questions :

Project : Any help on color space and the gamma setting? How it should be used.

Shot : Any help on Sharpen/Detail changing theses settings I don't see any changes on the image (even in high quality).

Thank you and have a nice 2008!

Another problem we have encountered using a MB Pro 2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB Ram is that Redcine's log file reports my system as only having 2 GB Ram and obviously less than that available.
