Redcine on Macbook Pro

[Michael Ragen]

Does anyone have Redcine running in a stable fashion on a Macbook Pro? My system is a year and a half old. Currently 2k works ok, but 4k clips crash both my monitors into a pink snowstorm. I plan on getting a new computer soon, but I need to make sure 4k files will work. I won't be upgrading to a desktop system until Spring.

Works great here.

MacBook Pro - 15" 2.33GHz C2D, 2GB, ATI X1600 256MB, 160GB HDD. Purchased Oct. 2006.

What are your specs? What version of OSX? What/if any/ programs do you have running while you attempt to run REDCINE?

Hi Jeff,

how fast is REDCINE converting 4K R3D to 2K DPX frames and to DV25?

Hi there:

Have a Macbook Pro 17", 4gb ram, 2.6Ghz, HD 7200rpm-200gb. I did the display upgrade to HI RES (30%more pixels/same lines as a cinema hd 23" display). Also bought the cinema 23"
4k files run smooth if i set the preview quality to medium-high.
I tried to export 4 r3d files and my math is more or less 1 minute of render per second of footage ( 10 seg footage = 10 min render)

This Mac conf works perfect with Redcine and Redalert

Don't be afraid to be happy!

So 1 minute of 4K footage = 1 hour convertion to 4K DPX?

Hmmmm, then 1 8GB CF card (about 4 min. footage 4K, 24fps) takes 4 hours to convert?
