Redcine Minimum Resolution?

[Greg Huson]

Solved the problem in redcine on our dual-dual mac by doing complete reinstall as detailed elsewhere in this forum.

However, I'm trying to run redcine on out dual-quad:

Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 3 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 8
L2 Cache (per processor): 8 MB
Memory: 10 GB
ATI x1900 xt

Which is currently a single-monitor system sporting a wacom at 1600x1200. When redcine runs I get 'out of range.' Is there a way to tell redcine I need the lower resolution, or is there a minimum??

Don't really want to buy more monitors right now, you know?

I assume this is on OS X? I have a similar problem with a non-Apple screen here. When I look at the display settings I can select 120 Hz while the monitor does *not* support it.

It seems REDCINE gets confused and think you're running at that mode and then switches to that resolution & Hz when going to full screen.

Please confirm that both is true in your case so we can look at it again

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this thread. Yes, it appears that the 'displays' settings thinks that the display can run at 120hz, but, of course, if you switch to that setting it can't. There are also several other settings that should be grayed out, but aren't.
My solution is to sell the cintique anyway, since it's a really expensive monitor and we don't use it for it's intended purpose (tracing, roto, etc.) anymore, and I can probably get a couple good monitors for what this one 'specialized' monitor will sell for.

Redcine 120hz problem with non-Mac displays

Hi,

Same problem with a MacPro / Ati Radeon HD2600 and Samsung lcd monitor vga connected:
Redcine starts in 1280x1024 120hz (RedCine.log) while display settings in OS are 1280x1024 60hz.
> black display and error message...

NB.
No problem with the Redcine Windows version on a PS with same display.
No problem with RedRushes and RedAlert on same Mac

Thanks !

Ben

I am having the same issues and I am fairly certain that it has to do with the monitors being hooked up VGA vs. DVI. We have an identical system in house, except for the fact that the monitors are hooked up DVI. Redcine launches without trying to change the refresh rate or resolution of the monitors on that system. On my system, that is currently hooked up VGA, it attempts to change from 60Hz to 120Hz. I'm hoping DVI will be the answer. I will update once I know for sure.

Is there a solution for this? I have the same problem with my monitor switching to 120Hz when I try to open RedCine
