  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

RedColor 3 is here!!!

Anyone else having issues getting this to install? The Adobe Labs site's own instructions seem to contradict what I am getting when I download the plugins. There is no installer only ImporterREDServer.app and ImporterRED.bundle. The app does nothing. Adobe labs support page is currently down.

i installed it a while ago, but I think there should be a readme in there. You need to copy and paste those files into specified directories. There isn't any installer.
 
yeah, that is what the labs site suggests, but there is no read me file on the download. not sure the link is even pulling down the right compressed archive to get to the plugins.
 
There is no Read Me so installing this is a black art and very frustration if you can't find the information online.

I did find it after an hour of searching and trying different things (seriously Adobe get a grip)

Anyone looking to install this....
Put the RedImportServer application in the "32" folder in the Premier folder
and the RedImportPlugin in the Plugin's folder.
 
Thank you, Rory. This saved me a lot of time. Adobe, please include installation instructions within the download.

To be specific here are the locations for Windows:

ImporterRED.prm - \Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS6\Plug-ins\Common
ImporterREDServer.exe - \Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS6\32

I would suggest saving your current ImporterRED.prm and ImporterREDServer.exe files before replacing them.

Try this link which is to product details. Kinda hidden, I'll agree.

You should then be able to follow this link to the PDF installation instructions.

Installing RED EPIC Importer with Creative Suite 6 (CS6) products

WTF? Am I posting in invisible type? The link to the README installation instructions is located in my post number 6!

Sheesh! (Why do I even bother...)


ADDITIONAL: To clarify my post above, by not reading the installation instructions you may be missing out on the need to also do the same things to AE, AME and Encore. AME, I think, has a little different replace point in the files. Encore may have as well.

Elsie, your posts are coming up fine. Thanks for doing the research. The other posters are simply not reading.

Yes the adobe labs install is a PITA. But it is beta and it does work. Yes you need to install the two plugins to EACH program directory where you want to be able to access RED EPIC/Scarlet footage: premiere, AE, encore, prelude, AME. 5 in total.

Whew! Thanks for confirmation Cory. For a moment there I thought I was losing opacity.
 
Does anyone have any idea why we need to install these tiny files separately, and they aren't just included in the Adobe updates like Camera Raw additions for Photoshop? Seems a bit silly to me, and I can't think of a practical reason to make us run around like this.

Elsie, sorry for the confusion. I understand now. I was confused because within the "Installing RED EPIC Importer with Creative Suite 6" link it says, "Follow the installation instructions located in
the ‘Release Notes’ section." There are no "Release Notes" that I could find.

Adobe really could have done a better job of putting the plug in and installation instructions together. I guess it's harder for them to confuse someone like me who doesn't pay close attention and follow their instructions too closely. '-)

Anyway, glad you found necessary info.

It's beta software, not meant for the general public (whomever that might be). The adobe labs guys are probably the elite developers at adobe who are working on new stuff and give us access to it quickly. Yes they could have made a nice installer, but they might not have the staff to devote to the niceties like installers and support when their job function is to start incorporating the new technology. Be grateful you have access to it at all! They could have kept it underwraps until CS7, instead we now have Epic/Scarlet RC3/RG3 in adobe so shortly it came out. When it is ready for the general public it will be included in the normal update/install procedures.
