RedCine, keeps crashing

[Chris Bell]

I am unable to get Red Cine to open. It gets as far as the title page, then crashes. Red Alert works fine. I have downloaded Red Cine several times with no success. Repairing permissions did not help either.

MacBook Pro: 2.4 (2 gigs Ram)
Quicktime 7.3
OS: 10.5.2

Red Cine worked a few months ago when it was released. Now nothing. Our Camera ships tomorrow and I am eager to get the workflow established.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had a problem with Redcine crashing after I moved a clip from it's original folder. The clip had been used in Redcine and because it couldn't find it on startup, it just crashed... no messages saying why, just crashed. Took me awhile to figure out. I wish redcine didn't just load the previous project. Would be easier to just open one after startup. There's issues even when reinstalling or installing a new build. You have to completely delete redcine in the library or else it will try to open your previous project and get all confused.

Thanks very much. Deleting the file did the trick.

What is the difference between Red Alert and Red Cine? To my untrained eye, they appear to do the same thing.

Which is best for processing files for FCP?

The system library - not the user library. That is if you're on a mac. Backup your work though if what you did in there was important.

They do the same thing basically. But Red Alert can generate QT wrappers - Redcine cannot. Redcine can import several clips and batch export - Red Alert cannot. Redcine has alot of other functions making it better for project work and export. I only use Red Alert if I want to make new QT wrappers for FCP offline editing.
