REDCine vs. Red Rushes for processing....

[Chris Parker]

i have a client who wants ProRes QT files for an offline edit. I usually would use Red Rushes for this, but have a REDCine project all ready to go with the color look that this client wants. If I use REDCine to process out these ProRes files for the offline edit, are there any bugs or issues I need to be worried about?

Are REDCine output files as rock solid as those created by Red Rushes, as far as having the correct timecode/info for a conform after the offline is done.

Any settings in REDCine I need to concern myself with in the output pane, or elsewhere?

OUTPUT - Above FORMAT is a button, click it and then click INPUT FILE NAME - click anywhere to close box. Otherwise your exported file will be one long Quicktime....

I use REDCINE all the time. Files are rock solid.

 

[Chris Parker]

thanks shawn. sucks when the QT is one long file.

so you have had no problem with the processed clips being used for offline, then EDL goes to colorist who conforms....that is good to hear. for some reason (not sure why) i thought that REDCine was not a tool of choice for much of the 'dailies' processing.....

Generally speaking RedCine has been a buggier program than RedRushes, but who knows if that's changed over the last several months. Everything else seems to...

that's what i had thought. man do i ever wish there was a 'REDCine Pro' that was rock solid, and had all the codecs for output built in, including native AVID mxf.

it is SO much better to work with for grading shots than RED alert, but not as solid as RED Rushes for the actual processing.

Hi Chris,

Why are you saying that ?
What do you find better in REDCINE over Red ALert ?

Just curious.

For me, REDCINE offers "an easier way" to adjust shots individually while comparing to the others shots. I love its ease of use, but yes its inability to utilize all processors is a major drawback.

But, this is also something new for me and has just been what has worked for me.

Edit: as far as a "PRO" version.... I think we have to go Scratch Cine...

 

[Chris Parker]

REDCine is easier to work with a day's worth of footage because of its timeline layout. you don't have to go shot by shot. you can easily color, then cut and paste that look onto other shots, and like shawn said, compare them quickly to other shots in your timeline.

yeah, Scratch Cine as REDCine pro. Agreed. That is what it is.

I was referring to a software only version of REDCine that would sell for under $1,000 however. Something I have thought would FLY off the shelves, and be a big service to the RED community......

And it would work on a Mac.

Hi Shawn and Chris,

...then you have to try "Clipfinder" made by Hans Georg Daun.

It's EXACTLY what it does, and so much more.

Just clic on a clip in the clips window, (from your chosen R3D directory), and "Bang" you have it in CC window with all controls, You can cut and paste different looks in a second to one or to many clips, more than easy.

You can also manage proxies, then conform to R3D files (and then to full HQ rendered clips) , in a very brilliant and simple way.

It is a very professional powerfull and rock solid tool.

Oh...and it uses ALL cores at 100% capacity.
