  • 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 :)

Report Redcine Bugs

Redcine seems like a quite capable program for its price (free). What do people expect?
 
several bugs

several bugs

I'm on my first Red Cam project and already really dissapointed by the post workflow for Avid MC.

It's simply insane(!) how long the transcode of these R3d files takes!
Come on you Red and Avid guys, lock yourself up in a room and get some solutions for the people out there working with this stuff on a daily basis.
You are making money out of this stuff!!!


My experienced bugs are:

-I used several clients in a network to transcode different shots simultaniously. By accident I tried to transcode the same R3d file on two different clients.
A little message like 'file already in use' would be great. At the moment RedCine pretends the file is not existing for one of the two clients.

-I copied my R3D file onto some Avid Unity workspaces. Everytime i connect my workspaces they get another driveletter. This results in offline shots within RedCine when I load an old project. Can't be that hard, to do some 'relink' for the files, huh?

- Most annoying thing is that when you select Quicktime DNxHD as output format, RedCine won't mention with any word if your system is missing the Avid codecs or not.
Holy crap! Just a little message! Do you guys know how frustrating it is, when you realize after 5 hours of transcoding that all you got is bullsh*t, because the codecs weren't installed on your client. Call the IT-Departement, ask them to install the codecs and do it all again. Very funny.


For me it will take some serious improvements in the RedCam Avid workflow before I try it next time.

ehm...i paid over 30 000 for red products.
guess somewhere in this price is the redcode raw and the software.
anyway...i like the new plug ins.

IMHO:
redcine never really was a red product.
RED ALERT was by RED...redcine seems to be the unwanted stepson of ...yeah you can guess who :)
 
I would be nice if they could get the apparently video card related coding problems for output corrected. It is a nice entry level tool otherwise.
 
Bruce - been a BUSY guy. It's tough out there these days.

Let's see, what's happened in last year? Changed from self employed out of my own comfy house in Austin to LA to crazy job whilst living in "temporary" tiny room in LA, quit the job to orbit back to Austin for The Girl, The Girl who was going to move out here with me broke up with me one week after that, over the phone; crazy times ensue, net worth cut in half, to top off the year got rear ended at 60mph while stopped at a light on a highway.

Fun times....

Hi all,
Is anyone having trouble with RedCine 3.1.8? My Mac 15" will run 3.1.2 fine, but when I try to open 3.1.8, once loaded, it crashes the Mac big time. Tried all the usual - unload everything & reload - same result. Any ideas?

Hello David,
I'm running 3.18 on my Macbook Pro (10.5.5) with no problems. I was able to open your footage yesterday.
There may be a plist file or something somewhere that needs to go.
I would be happy to have a go fixing it for you.

Ben.

Having said the above, I now find 3.18 to be barely functioning - it slowed down to a crawl and the GUI lost a lot of the graphics. I've reloaded 3.12 which, at the time of writing, works well.

copy/paste bug in Color menu?

copy/paste bug in Color menu?

not enough time to search lots of posts to see if this has already been posted...

Doing some H.264 qt conversions from 2k r3d's....
In Redcine 3.1.8 (PC version) I applied some pan/scan x/y values in the SHOT menu to a group of clips.
In COLOR menu I adjusted some colour parameters slightly, then copy/pasted to ALL.
Scrubbed through clips and the pan/scan values had changed back to original settings, so I reset them again... and double checked they were all OK.
Went back to COLOR, made another slight change, copy/pasted to ALL again... lo and behold... all my x/y shot values changed again.... the copy paste in colour seemed to be over-riding the values under SHOT.....
???

Same as many others 3.1.8 crashes on MacBookPro 15" Intel 2.2 (alluminium) and 10.5.6.

Redcine 3.1.2 works like a charm but there is two Anamorphic projects on the way.

In MacBookPro 15" Intel 2.4 (Led screen black border), 10.5.6, works with no problem.

Some Nvidia friendly in 3.1.8??
some java update crashing??
Gremlims??

(Of corse, I clean preferences many times before reporting this.)

Please help! :embarassed::embarassed::embarassed:
 
Hi Folks - Here's my Mac Specs:

MBP 17inch 2.5 GHz Intel Core Duo WideScreen
4 GB RAM
GForce 8600M GT
OSX 10.5.6
QuickTime 7.6

Latest RED QuickTime plugs etc.

RedCine Version 3.18 will not output. Quicktimes come out as a single freeze frame over the duration of the clip and any image sequence (TIFF, DPX,Targa) results in error logs on processing of each frame and zero output to the folder. I know others have experienced this but I can't seem to find the specific fix.

I've gone back to REDCine 3.12 and it renders the QT no problem but will only render one image of image sequences (despite appearing to crunch through all frames).

REDAlert works fine. CS4 and FCS work fine.

This is becoming a bit of a head scratcher - up until now I haven't had any problems and yes I've tried plenty of reinstalls after trashing librarys etc. If anybody can enlighten me on where the problem might lie it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Cam

RedCine not working on Intel Quad-core mac

RedCine not working on Intel Quad-core mac

Good day!
I just purchased a new Intel based Mac Pro. It will run all the red software but RedCine. I am running the Quad-Core Intel Xeon 2.8GHz with 6GB of RAM and a ATI Radeon HD 3870 graphics card with Mac OS 10.5.7. I am running RedCine 3.1.8 is so far not working on this machine. It works fine on my new Intel Based Mac Book Pro.

I tried the following to fix the issue.
-5 x reinstall or RedCine and cleaning the folder that is created in the Libary.
-2 x Repair Disk Permissions.
- 5 x Reboots
- Reading as many Red User posts as possible.

Very perplexed by this issues. If you want me to post the error message that I am getting in the send error report to Apple let me know.
Thanks for any help in advance! :beer: Cheers

my pc
xeon 5430 *2
Tempest i5400PW
8GB RAM
ATI fireGL 5600

os: win xp x64 sp3

I finished the setup of REDCINE 3.18
and start it, but it just crashed with the window notice " send message" bla bla bla.

so I need know why it happened and how can I fix this problem
 
Well a bad one, at least is phreaking me out.
Shot in build 20. 4k 2:1 36 redcode
I see it in Quicktime player and red alert but ... RA last version Quick 7.6.0
I load the clips in redcine and is all black and only see "solarized" highlights, the redcine keeps working no crushing but i see sit.
The thing is last week with the same setting, the only posible change was to redcode 28, and it was perfect. I have reloaded redcine and clear library but nothing any suggestions gladly apreciated. to night I shoot again ...
Jon
 
Is wear because i can load what i shoot with previous builds and what I shoot with 20 last weekend but not this weekends.
It was shot in 4k 2:1 and for playing around to try to get an answer i realized that if i change the project to 720 or 1k or x i have a black box in the middle and in the exterior I see the real recorded image.
Ok when i change any setting in the curve as well is apearing the recorded image ...
well i don know if i explained well myself but if anyone of red hets in contact i will try to explain myself better because talking alone is uselless.
 
Inverted audio channels in RC 3.1.8

Inverted audio channels in RC 3.1.8

Anybody noticed that left and right channel is inverted when creating QT files with REDCINE 3.1.8.
(left is right and right is left)

In the proxies QT channels are OK but in the QT created with the REDCINE channels are inverted.

PC version
Vista 32
Vista 64
 
When I first boot up Redcine the video playback window is blue and there is a small message in the left hand corner that reads, "Failed to lock image buffer".

When I load files and choose one, the video playback window turns grey.

When I go to "Library" they are grey as well, but if I uncheck the "color" button I can see video image on the clips.

My fear is that I'm using a Mac Book with the integrated Intel 3100 graphics chip and that it does not support it. But, when I use Red Alert it loads it up just fine. So I was wondering if it was just a glitch.

Thanks
Charles
 
It seems I'm having the same problem too with RedCine. When loading the card, all the shots appear only as black, and plays through as black. BUT, by toggling a metadata setting (ISO, Exposure, etc.) in the Color tab, the video appeared in place of the black and plays through normally. The proxies, transcodes, and RedAlert all play fine and work as they should, it's just RedCine 20.0.0 that has the issue.

It could possibly be a combination of metadata settings we used while shooting that throws off RedCine, but it's anyone's guess until I get the chance to test it thoroughly. I'll see if I can generate a log file to send to the developers.

RedCine 20.0.0
Camera firmware 20.1.3
Mac Pro 4x2.66Ghz
 
Black clips Same as Mathew.
RedCine 20.0.0
Camera firmware 20.1.3
Mac Pro 4x2.66Ghz
Intel PC 4x 2.66
AMD PC 4x 2.5
Upgraded REDCINE from 3.1.15 to 20.0.0 and the output of the clips are black.

1. On Mac and windows computers.
2. with both versions on the computer and without
3. if both are loaded and I use 3.1.15 I can see the clips but the output is black
