REDCINE: What am i doing wrong?

[Jee_Haa]

Hi all,

I have been attempting for two days now to export any kind of format from REDCINE to my hard drive. Basically whatever setting i choose as either in- or output format results in only one thing.

With multiple clips imported into REDCINE I get a clip with the length of all the clips to be exported but displaying only frame no. one from the very first clip.

With one clip imported the same happens. Only the first frame shows over the length of the clip.

I have re-installed REDCINE and I am using Quicktime 7.4.5 on MAC OX Tiger. I have tried the same thing on my Macbook with MAC OX Leopard with the exact same result. I have changed input settings, output settings CODECS and this all only leads to the same result. One frame over the full length of the clip.

Now since the same thing happens on two different systems i must be doing something wrong. I have watched the tutorial but i cannot seem to figure out where this goes wrong. I have read that there was a fix for this particular problem in the latest version of REDCINE but that is the version i am using.

Any suggestions, hints or clues here guys?

Cheers,
Jos

Hi Jos,

I noticed that this is your first post. Welcome to this forum! I hope we are able to help you!

I've had a similar problem, but with a black frame. That was when outputting a Photo-JPEG QuickTime. When changing the format to Apple ProRes HQ, everything worked. Is the file size consistent with what you would expect? If they are the full size, I wonder if it is a QT Player issue. You might want to switch to Leopard on your main workstation. My guess is that you will have to do that anyway.

This is probably not much help, hopefully someone more knowledgeable will pick up the thread.

Hi Kaya and Phil,

I was going to upgrade to Leopard anyway. I am doing that tomorrow. However, on the notebook that runs with Leopard i have the same issue. I have tried various formats and codecs and just nothing seems to work. I have had the black frame too btw. And also clips that export to a certain point and then freeze. Well the only thing i can say is that it has never worked right up until now. Oh and Kaya, Our graphics card is ATI RadeonX1900. And dont worry about your english

Did you try trashing all preferences ? They´re located in localuser /Librabry / Redcine
Thrash everything inside this folder and give it another try.

I've yet to do much with Macs - but I keep hearing this "trashing all preferences" fix for multiple glitches.

First of all what are these preferences?

Second why do they keep causing problems?

Third why does trashing them solve all these problems?

Fourth if they cause so many problems why hasn't Apple programmed them out or implemented some sort of "autotrash"?

:devil: :detective2: :shifty:

In the preferences there are couple of files which for example tell Redcine at startup to load files from the last project. If you moved them, this can cause a problem.
Redcine generates this files also on a PC, but there are on a different location and hidden by default. Same thing there, just easier to find on a Mac

Hi there,

My problems are over now since I have upgraded to Leopard. The usual bugs are still a nuisance but at least it exports everything and not just one frame. Most of the bugs posted in the bug list in this forum are applicable to the version running here. I will report them in the bugs thread. Thanks anyway for your replies.
