  • 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 :)

RELEASED: RED Final Cut Studio 2 Installer

Mark Pugh said:
Can't get it working on my MBP.
The "Native" option isn't appearing in Log and Transfer prefs.
Is it working on anyone's MBP?

Yes. Works on my MBP fine. Make sure you meet all the requirements

I can't see that it's a viable option, though, without a an additional very large hard drive the same size as the R3D files, because the QTwrapped files that FCP makes are about the same size as the original R3ds.

Do you still need to render to do a simple cut on a well-specced Mac Pro, anyone?

1.
the conform is easier now.
thats the major thing.
you can have a finished timeline---send to color---render out a dpx sequence and go to CC.
2.
the ingest is pretty fast.
think of transcoding to pro res (time, frozen frame problems etc.)
storage is cheap...time not
 
well this was a wonderful surprise email. I was almost gonna give up on final cut with all the Adobe news floating around. Thank You
 
Can someone Try Color and see if it can retrieve lost highlights? The whitepaper says anything over 100IRE clips, but it isn't stated clearly.

Why export DPX? You have 12 bit RGB 444 in Color?
 
The RED room allows you to go back to the RAW data, so yes, any clipped highlights can be recovered by backing off ISO or exposure compensation.

Interesting updates, especially since Adobe thought RED was going to release the plug-in for Premiere Pro today!

Can someone let us know if you have to have OSX 10.5.5 installed before you see the Pro Apps update? I'm on 10.5.4 and am not seeing it.

I'm running Tiger 10.4.11 and I have the updates installed.

Yes. its the min requirement.

Minimum software requirements for using the RED plugin with Final Cut Studio:
• Mac OS X v10.4.11 or Mac OS X v10.5.5 or later
• QuickTime 7.5.5 or later
• Final Cut Pro 6.0.5, Color 1.0.3, and Compressor 3.0.5
• The RED Final Cut Studio Installer (version 1.0)
 
I'm experiencing issues in Color with the secondaries room. As soon as I try to pull a key the footage becomes desaturated. Anyone else witnessing this issue?

Not having a Red of my own I'm using footage I downloaded from Red Relay in an effort to study the workflow. Perhaps the footage is from an old/incompatible build.

You're looking at one of the views of the key. Click on the red/green/blue panel to see the final output.

Also, if you had Kona/BM output, that output would not show the matte view.

Thanks Nate for the response. I'm familiar with the view keys you speak of and have cycled through them, regardless of what view I am on the eyedropper seems to only register luminance. I'm sure there's something I'm missing.....
 
Im confused, the wording is
"functionality to import REDCODE RAW clips as either native REDCODE media (R3D’s) wrapped in QuickTime or the option to transcode them directly to Apple’s ProRes 422 codec."

But we've had those dorky QT proxies in FCP for a long time. Can I now put a R3D file straight on the timeline?
 
editblog said:
Can't put them directly on the timeline. You have to "re-wrap" them. It should be better than the proxies.

WTF? We've had that forever. What's different? what are people jumping about? That seems really weird to claim 'native R3D' when in fact you cant actually bring an R3D in. What am I missing here...
