  • 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 :)

System Feedback Wanted

Hello, greetings to everybody from the Basque Country:

Although it´s our first time in this site we´ve been visiting it from the begining. It´s not our first time working with Red cameras and we never had any problems with the cameras nor with the RedCine, but this time we are unable to load RedCine. We followed Jarred´s instructions but solved nothing. As the RedCine folder didn´t appear in the Library I created it manualy. I also installed old versions of Redcine but they didn´t work either. Apart from that an extrange thing occurs: I can only open the application from the disc image.
I am exporting 4K 25fps and 2K 120fps footage to 1920 x 1080 Aja Kona 10 bit RGB.

I´m really scared and think I´m gonna be fired, there seems to be no way out of this

thank to the beautiful Red community!

I have been testing my system with various codecs and workflows.

IMO - since I'm not as knowledgeable as some - the key to a painless workflow is ALL THE RAM you can afford, and a capture card such as the KONA 3.

I have transcoded 30 min of 2K 2:1 footage from the .r3d files in Redcine to UC10bit 4:2:2 in 12 min. Same footage into AJA 10bit LOG RGB in 11 min. All as quicktimes.

Again, MORE RAM AND a CAPTURE CARD are necessary. I have posted my complete system specs below on this thread. Someone please correct me, point out flaws in my thinking, etc.

But I'm a happy camper.

What is the relation with capture card ? as i understood it is related to graphics card ?

Not related to the graphics card.

It does promote/add to system performance in relation to FCP. It also allows the connections (inputs/outputs) of monitors, decks, audio equipment, etc.

You can check it out at www.aja.com

Look for KONA 3 -

Kowboy, those render times are fantastic.
Two questions - can you give render times for 4k 16:9 footage, and
how much do your raid arrays contribute to the quick render times?

I haven't tried any 4K 16x9 yet - was under the impression 16x9 wasn't supported yet?

Not sure about the RAID array's contribution either. I attribute most of it to the KONA 3 card and the maxed out RAM.

Been having issues getting all of the OUTPUT settings just right - until today. Everything seems fine and I'm super happy with my results.

osx 10.5.2 quicktime: 7.4.5 fcp: 6.0.3
graphics: ATI Radeon X1900 512mb 01.00.202

normal output: Quicktime ProRes HQ @ RED ONE 2K normal/standard
result: WORKS
opinions:
project settings: great range of formatting possibilities, just have to double check when reopening a project that the defaults don't reset themselves, lost half a days work to rerendering material that slipped from red1 2k @23.98 to 2048x1024@24
shot settings: very intuitive interface, even inexperianced asst. editors can jump on board with shot setups for proper pan&scan results
color: love the first light correction! nice balance between the somewhat bland raw data and our finished product, gives our rough edits a nice look for clients to enjoy that's fairly close to our final balancing
renders: could be faster, we usually top out @ 3-4fps would love to see it hit the same rate we get for L&T of R3D's or even as fast as L&T for P2, but we know that's awhile off!

yeah that would be nice, that's our biggest gripe here at our shop. When we have to use RC to digitize anything it's always a lot of footage so we try to spread it out over several systems to get to editing faster. After our first project it became painfully apparent that each station was customized to the user including their display settings and preferences for color, we had 5 different looks come back to me which meant we had to go back and redo EVERYTHING!

how hard would it be to get a throughput from kona? isn't RED supposed to be all buddy buddy with AJA?

Did anyone have any success running Redcine on a small (12"-14") notebook running Windows XP? If so, which model?

Quicktime Prores export works with a single clip. As soon as you try to batch export all but first clip are freeze frames (and the freeze frame in each instance is from the first clip!)

DPX export does work though.

Results: Seems to work fine at first but as i work in a project and do some exports the screen becomes garbled. exiting the program and restarting doesn't seem to fix the problem but starting a new project seems to work fine again. It looks like i should try a new graphics card.
