  • 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 :)

The mini MetaFuze thread. Share your experience and findings

Sean said:
Any chance that Metafuze would incorporate some sort of "one-light"? I will just be thrilled to get my hands on ANY working Metafuze for R3Ds, but given that we are dealing with RAW files in a Red world, transcoding with some sort of initial color correction options might be highly beneficial.

Hey man! =)

Sorry if I missinderstood you here... But that function is already in metafuze. You can load an rsx-file created in redalert for each of the added r3ds. I hope that the new version have functions for applying one single rsx to a whole batch. Also hope that the lut-support is extended to r3d. In 1.2 you could not load a lut for the r3ds. Would be sweet if that works in 1.3. Anything that michael can comment on? =)
 
The batch process includes an RSX/RLX for all selected. Adding a LUT to an R3D will be for later once we get all the mapping correct from the different red color spaces.

Cool. I didn't know that you could use an RSX with batch processing.

Is there any reason that the quality of the resultant DNxHD 175X file would be different from the one that Redcine generates?

I remember reading that some people were having trouble with Metafuze if they didn't have the right version of quickTime on the system. I can't find that thread now though. Which QuickTime is providing the best functioning of Metafuze for R3Ds?

EDIT: Darn, just realized that Redcine creates an RCC file...but not an RSX file, which must be RedAlert specific.

Quicktime 7.4.5

and RedAlert for the RSX file.

The RSX file would have to either come directly from the camera or be written on another machine, since MetaFuze runs only on Windows at the moment (Red Alert is Mac only).
 
yeah. grade the shots on a mac with red alert. then bring folders with footage (and new rsx files) on an external drive to metafuze pc and process away....

i wish SO MUCH that RedCine PRO existed, for $995, and did everything 110% proper and easy, with ALL formats supported. that would absolutely rock. but i have brought that up before, and there are new choices coming from 3rd parties, so i can't complain really.
 
Any chance we can see MetaFuze blend with RedCine some day? I.E. color in RedCine and export to mxf with an ale? Or i suppose the other option would be adding color functions to MetaFuze. Personally i like the timeline functions and responsiveness of RedCine. Is there even remotely a chance that Red will incorporate Avid technology in it's software or am i dreaming?
 
RED provides an SDK for third parties. That is what Avid is currently using for MetaFuze and DS. Avid has API technologies like AMA and licensing programs for DNxHD codec that can also be licensed by third parties. It is a matter of desire, priorities, etc. for each of the manufacturers.

Many of these ideas have been discussed and are certainly under consideration, but no decisions or promises at this time. MetaFuze can be driven via line command as well as have XML scripts so third parties could also drive it from their tools as a transcode engine.

Things are progressing nicely - I don't have a real hard date as to when, but I suspect a couple weeks? Shooting for Mid May... 2009. ;)
