playing with Redcine-X for the first time.

trying to create AvidMXF and the performance is really slow. Is this typical? I get barely a frame a second, maybe less.

Thanks,

Playback or export?

 

[James Rayburn]

export. i do not have a redrocket card, FYI.

I'm testing rendering 2K DPX files in a number of progs at the moment.

All 3 SpeedGrade versions work fine

RedCine works fine

RedCine-X crashes every time I try and render anything out in any format other than TIFF

That's a known issue on some windows systems. We'll have a new version next week which fixes it. This was the very first version of REDcineX on windows so the more systems and windows oses (ie, xp, xp64, vista, win7) we feedback from, the better more robust we can make it.

Looking forward to it

It looks like it'll be a cool prog once the bugs are out.

I'm testing all the different systems I can so that when I publish my 35mm V RED tests nobody can say that I cheated.

The results were really interesting, some good some bad.

Test on Alienware

Test on Alienware

i have tried REDCINE-X on my Alienware with seven and 2Tb e-sata.
Work fine.
But:
- No choice of resolution (here 1920x1200) and that's limit for all windows!!! some are hidden behind timeline.
- No audio?
- Some distortions for icons of R3d files in the Bin.
- no possibilities to move frame by frame with arrow keys.
- Why when grading, there no possibilities to have a reference frame in a window A and possibilies to grade in a window B like in Lustre by exemple. Very useful.
- No save?
- No Users configuration?
- Possibilities to RE-encode in R3D? (to import in an other software, after a grade)

RED TEAM have done a good job.
That's just a BETA version. that could be a great soft. Continue like that.

Where can we download REDCINE-X Manual/ Guide?

Anybody tries the R3D to AAF/MXF export? It seems slow as hell on a 8-core mac.

Yes.
I get Redcine X "unexpectedly' quiting when the render is finished and MXF files that display in Avid as nothing but black frames, despite their large size.
:sad:

Very slick, good work! But I can't figure out the cropping in the framing window. Is there any way to preview the cropping? Did I miss it, or is this still being built?

Still being built. We're just getting started.

When grading in 4.5k any settings being made to a single clip are automatically applied to every clip in the timeline. For some reason this starts to happen as I add more clips to the timeline. Also, even though the little speaker icon changes into the off version when I click it, I can't seem to turn off sound on playback. It kills playback performance, even on clips without sound.

Also, being able to delete clips from the bin as well as keeping clips in order when doing a mass drag-in are on my high priority list for additions/fixes.

We'll try to recreate the 4.5k case and sound. Thanks for the heads up.

To delete a clip from the bin, drag it out of the bin.
Order of clips dragging from bin to timeline follows the list order in list view in the bin.

 

[Michael Epple]

What's lint order? I know it doesn't seem to come in in clip number order. I've done the dragging out, it just seems that delete would be quick and easy. Also just an easy way to clear the bin, even like a new project command would be great.

Also the sound thing is with regular 4k as well. It isn't just a 4.5k thing. The look settings bug is a 4.5k thing, for me.

Being able to scale the timeline and easily distinguish between clips on the timeline will also make things much more user friendly. Thanks again Deanan for the quick response.

 

[Pietro Impagliazzo]

Guys, how do you manage to organize the panels without them being attached to a main frame or snapping properly?

I'm on a 1680x1050 monitor and it's not very easy to come up with a nice setup for them. Can't put the video at the middle and spread them around, not enough real estate for that.

Perhaps 1920x1200 would help, but maybe not so much, dual monitor would be the way to go, at least with how the panels are behaving now.

Sorry, I meant list, not lint.

Agreed on delete, it's coming.

We're not able to recreate the 4k/4.5k problem you're having. Email me with any more info you have. (deanan at red)

Lots more stuff coming for the timeline...
