  • 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 :)

So I have to process through REDCINE?

Just wondering if there is anyway to bypass REDCINE and start working on the footage with our having to wait for REDCINE to process?

I guess it would need FCP to have a REDCODEC and Demosaic the footage on the fly.

I'm working out what tell clients when they ask "so I have to wait how long for my footage?"
 
The processsing time will have a lot to do with the machine your processing on. If you got yourself a new octocore with a big fat graphics card (because redcine takes advantage of the GPU, or so ive read), id imaging things will go pretty smoothly.

I plan on doing a lot of work on the road, so I'm going to have to get a laptop. I'm worried that my compromise of power and speed will be a big hurtle to jump over when it comes to processing footage so i can get out of town.
 
I seriously wonder how long it will take for the newest Mac Pro (available this summer) to process the data, how long will I need to wait for say one minute of 4K to be downconverted to HD/SD to be used in Final Cut...

My fear is it will be an hour for five minutes, I will learn to live with that, but at present this is what I wonder about the most.
 
Eirik Isn't that just the heart of it. I'm absolutely sure the 4K images will be wonderful. I hope we get some detailed work flow examples at the NAb Booth because that is also my worry. 17K camera 27K computer?
 
i see that cineform recently announced a 12bit 4k/2k RGB 4:4:4 "thing" ..which could be one way to render out of REDcine.. if you have cineform prospect you could edit RT 2k in premiere ( not sure about 4k) - i think for 4k they recommend editing at lower res then export EDL and open that in AE and then CC 4k clips ...
at one time i think cineform hinted for around $5k for computer editing 2k/4k real time? ....
i would guess we will not hear anything about the cineform 12bit 4:4:4 2k/4k workflow and if RED can use it till next Monday ???...
