  • 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 :)

Redemption by Surreal Road

proxy/images

proxy/images

i just checked this out again, there are all 3 proxy qt available in the same path of the r3d, it's not working to make images

do you have the red quicktime codecs installed-- i.e. if you double-click one of the proxies does it play in quicktime ok? if so, can you pm me the file path of the r3d and proxy and i'll look into it?

I have tried to follow the instruction to create a csv file. In the terminal window I see that the search ends with permission denied to each line. How can I change that.

thanks.

That actually shouldn't be a problem. There will be certain folders that can't be searched using this command (like the spotlight and trash folders). It doesn't mean it's not working, it will just skip those folders. You should still have a CSV file at the end of it.
 
A few things:
  1. Are you typing the command into the terminal window directly or using the "do this for me" link in the help page? (Try using the other method and see if that helps)
  2. What version of redline do you have installed?
  3. What version of OS X are you using?
  4. If you are using the terminal commands, try this:
    Code: 
    cd /
sudo find . -name "*_001.R3D" -print | xargs -I {} redline -i {} --printMeta 2
 >& ~/redline.csv
    you will need to provide your password to authenticate, but this should reduce permissions errors
 
hmm. Possibly a bug in the applescript somewhere. let me know how you get on with the terminal command. if you still run into problems, can you pm me some of the terminal window errors
 
Terminal?

Terminal?

Hi surreal, I have tried runing the terminal and came with that. I Have no password defined. Does it make any sense to you.

Password:
 
ok, i looked into this, and it seems that they added a security feature to OS 10.5 to disable many terminal commands if there is no password set on your account.
The easiest way to solve this is to quit terminal, set a password on your account, and try again. You can then reset the password back to blank after the csv file is generated.

Alternatively, you can try this complicated workaround to allow sudo to work with a blank password
 
I have generated the CSV file, however, I am not getting any information when I load it into Redemption.
I used the following command line: sudo find . -name "*.R3D" -print | xargs -I {} redline -i {} --printMeta 2 >& ~/Documents/redline.csv

FYI: When I open the CSV file in TextEdit it seems to contain all of the information.

When you import the csv file into redemption does it generate any records, or does it not do anything at all. If you want you can PM me the csv file and I'll look into it.

what happens if you just type
Code: 
su
and press enter (and enter again for your password?)
Click to expand...

that indicates your password is wrong. It should be the same password you use when installing applications
Click to expand...

On a Mac sudo (list) password and su are different (though one can make them the same). Typically su (the root) password will not let you do anything until the root user (superuser, different than admin user) is activated. However if su is done after a successful sudo, probably the system will not ask for the root password as one is already root user for his/her "15 minutes of fames!", however, root user activation may be needed.

To activate root user please use /Applications/Utilities/Netinfo Manager

is there a variable that i can change to allow the still to be taken a little farther in?
Click to expand...

If you're using the fp7 version, at the top of the import proxy script is a variable called offset (defaults to 100 frames).

If you're using the standalone version, this is something I'll change in a future release to allow you to set it in the GUI.
