REDCINE X-PRO: How to export EXRs to separate folders / cut order?

[James P. Wong]

Hi all,

My colleagues and I are using REDCINE-X PRO to export EXR files for our visual effects guys.

We've been able to do the following thus far:

1. Export a Sequence from Premiere Pro as "Final Cut XML".
2. Import that XML into REDCINE-X PRO so that it appears in RCX's timeline.
3. Export the selected clips (in the currently open timeline) to EXR.

Here is our puzzle to work out:

Say we have a sequence of three cuts: Shot 1, Shot 5, Shot 1 in the timeline.

When we export to EXR, I can make RCX dump the EXR sequences to folders (right now, by clip name).

The problem is that both instances of "Shot 1" end up in the same folder - after the export, we have to eyeball when the frame number jumps (and manually move that batch of EXRs over to another folder).

My question : Is there a parameter or way to have RCX make a new folder for each EXR sequence? i.e. "SCENE_10_A001_C001", "SCENE_10_A001_C001-2" or something like that?

I hope I'm being clear, let me know! Thanks in advance.

Best,
James

Just use Resolve and be done with it.

Short of buying software you may not have....

Have you tried the custom outputs options.....there is folder per clip options and tons of other dynamic options ...but your problem is a little different, not sure if one there will work for your issue

Hi Mike, thanks for the suggestions. Yes, we've looked at the custom outputs options - which seems to have just about everything However, you would hope that one of the options would be some sort of 'series' or 'sequence' number. While I've figured out a workaround solution for now, would be/have been nice to see such a parameter in RCX.

Best,
James

Last time I checked, the Resolve Lite is still free.
