Cannot Ingest RED Footage in Prelude

I'm trying to ingest RED Epic footage in a variety of formats, but Prelude is unable to pull any of it in. The error message reported in the Events panel is "Import task - import file: "{path\filename}.R3D" failed. Reason: Import XMP failed!"
I'm running Win7 x64. Prelude is version CS6 1.0.1
The updated ImporterRED.prm is located in D:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Prelude CS6\Plug-ins\Common\
The updated ImporterREDServer.exe is located in D:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Prelude CS6\
I can pull the footage into Premiere Pro with no issue. Does anyone have a fix?
Thanks,
Stivan

it says in the manual that prelude cannot import red without transcoding...
since it cannot write to reds metadata it is a waste of time anyways

  • Ingesting P2 footage with Prelude

    I'm ingesting P2 footage with Prelude (CS6). The first few seconds of the transferred footage have digital hits.
    I've opened the same footage in an old copy of FCP and it's clean. Any idea what to do about it?

    I'm transcoding to P2 and in the process transferring the files from an external storage drive to a working drive on my desktop. (I've used this process before and it worked fine. I'm on a Mac and did upgrade the operating system.)
    The hits are chunky horizontal lines which sometimes may include parts of the shot that are seconds ahead. It lasts a few seconds and goes away. I can post a bit if you like.

  • Adding markers to RED footage in Prelude

    Hey everyone, I was hoping to find a way to add markers to my RED footage without having to transcode it during ingestion. All my footage is kept on a separate drive from my computer. Two separate computers can pull from this drive so I'd love to avoid the transcode process to save me some time and allow me to edit everything RAW. Anyone have a work around to this process they know about?

    Hi,
    If you are using Prelude 2.1 or later it supports logging directly to RED media.
    What version are you using and what does Prelude show you that is preventing you from adding markers?
    Thanks,
    Michael

  • Since Prelude doesn't work with Red footage, how can I add logging info to a file in Premiere Pro

    Since Prelude doesn't work with Red footage, how can I add logging info to a file in Premiere Pro CS6?

    RED footage has a restriction on metadata.  We are looking into what it would take to get full metadata support into our system, but you cannot tag red footage at this time.

  • Problem with red footage import

    I cannot import red footage  in premiere pro cs4: error message "file grayed or damaged" Do you know why ?

    After quitting CC (I'm not a subscriber kind of user, that's all), I went back to my master suite Cs6.
    I did one mistake, updating to the current version. A sign of my problem was that Ae Cs6 didn't worked either (in terms of RED files).
    (FCPX and RED Cine X etc worked fine, so I excluded a problem on my system)
    The only solution that I found was working was: After I rolled back to Pr Cs6 6.0.2 (I do no updates druing productions, so one MAC was on 6.0.2, I just copied it)
    It didn't worked with 6.0.0 nor with any other than the one named above.
    The ImporterRedserver.app was 6.0.0 and the Importerred.bundle was the only one in history named ImporterRED 3.38.08 PM.bundle, which was version 6.0.1
    Of course that will not work with Dragon. I tested Scarlet and Epic files from the past two years. They open fine.
    The problem is, if one mixes the versions (e.g., newest RED Cine X and the Photoshop plug in, the stored information in the .RMD file might shift the color: compare Ps RED plug in v6 and v7, with an RMD setting done in RED Cine X. There is a huge shift in blue)
    So, all in all, I hope Adobe delivers a new "bundle" and "app" for Dragon and Pr CS v6.0.x

  • When ingesting footage via Prelude...

    ...are all changes made upon ingest, e.g. metadata, markers, etc, included in the results of transcodes done during ingest?
    My concern is about handing-off footage to others: should I hand-off only trancoded footage? orignal footage from the camera?
    What if I'm passing footage to a non-Adobe user?
    I'm just starting out w/CS6 after using only CS2 since its' release, and admittely find Prelude a bit confuseing.
    (Please pardon my ignorance).

    Hi Michael,
    Thanks for inquiring. I'll try to make this brief and clear:
    I often record equestrian shows. (Maybe you know what "barrel racing" is? if not, here's a link that shows what it is and what I work with:
    http://www.adhocvideo.com/equine/Barrel_Racing/MtnSprArena/index.shtml#sectNBHA082809
    (Mouseover and click on one of the many links on that page).
    When I record, I (now) do so in AVCHD using a Panasonic HMC-150. I often end up with between 100 and 200 short (approx 30 seconds in length), but individual clips (1 clip per competitior) that I want to transcode and upload to a few web sites, and which I later use to edit and author DVDs. So, I'm looking at uncompressing/transcoding from AVCHD format  to an editable format, then converting/transcoding the edited footage to.mp4, .flv, and .mpeg2 (and in the future, BD).
    A reminder that I'm coming from the world of CS2 Production Premium, and am trying to grasp how Prelude might help me in a situation where I have so many "unrelated" clips.
    I think (maybe) this should be my (perhaps too-detailed) work flow:
    Step 1:
    record with camera to SD card >
    Step 2:
    SD card into computer >
    Step 3:
    Copy/backup/protect SD card to HDDs >
    Step 4:
    Create Prelude project
    Step 5:
    Ingest from HDD to Prelude >
    Step 6:
    Log and add metadata >
    Step 7:
    Transcode to editable format >
    Step 8:
    Edit the results of Step 7 with PPro >
    Step 9:
    Transcode edited footage via AME >
    Step 10:
    Upload transcoded footage from Step 9 to web >
    Step 11:
    Author DVD with footage transcoded in Step 10.
    These are my questions/points of confusion:
    1) Is the metadata I add in Step 6 also included in the results I get from Step 7? And, does the metadata stay with that result for use in/with/by the other applications within Production Premium CS6? (I've read the FAQs, and just seem particularly dense about how Prelude might help me when I have a relatively large number of unique "unrelated" clips; it seems Prelude is more suited to projects with a large number of related clips, i.e. making a documentary, a short, or a feature-lenght film.
    2) I know this probably isn't specific to Prelude, but is the metadata usable outside of the Adobe Prod Premium apps? For example, if I add a rider/competitor's name as metadata, can that metadata item be used/accessed from within HTML coding of my web page(s)? (See the rider's name appear when you "mouseover" the numbers shown in the link I provided above).
    3) Is "ingesting" to Prelude really just a way to "link" or otherwise indicate that a Prelude "project" is comprised of specific source clips?
    I realize that at least question 2 is probably not within the bounds of what Prelude does or was designed/intended to do, and sincere apologies for that, but I'm beginning to think Prelude may not be very helpful in the specific circumstances I have in mind unless I can access the metadata via HTML or some other web-page coding vehicle. (Am I trying to pound a square peg into a round hole)?
    Apologies for my ignorance.
    Thanks.

  • Prelude not creating In/Out points when ingesting P2 footage

    I'm working on a Windows 7 (64bit) machine and I'm ingesting footage off of a P2 card reader (connected via usb).  In the Ingest panel I  marked In/Out points on several P2 files using "I" and "O" keyboard shortcuts.  I ingested the footage with the transfer options set to transfer to a new directory on the hard drive (no transcode) with the verify transfer checked.   The files seemed to transfer fine and they showed up in the Project panel.  When I played them in the monitor I discovered that  the In/Out points I set prior to the ingest were ignored.
    Prior to ingesting the P2 footage I ingested some AVCHD footage with a transfer and transcode to P2 Movie.  In that case the in/out points that I added in the ingest panel were respected when I played them back in the monitor after the ingest. 
    So, does the setting of in/out point in the ingest panel only take effect if you are transcoding footage?

    Current input suggests creating subclips would be acceptable. So the net result you would see in the project panel after ingesting a clip with In/Outs set would be a master clip (representing the full clip) and a subclip representing the In/Out range specified.
    Is this what you would also expect?
    Michael,
    Thanks for your quick response. Yes, making subclips makes sense...although I guess I don't see much advantage of creating subclips prior to ingest vs after...especially when after ingest you can establish multiple subclips on one master clip.  On this specific project I had lengthy pre and post roll on several shots which I was hoping to eliminate by setting in/out points prior to ingest - so that after injest I would have only clips with relavant action.

  • Need help with compositing DPX red footage and workflow

    Hi Guys...sorry to repost this..I've tried in many other forums, but haven;'t gotten a straight answer yet, I'm hoping anyone on this page can give advice...
    Recently, I was asked by a friend to help on a low budget project by doing some roto and paint work, and some simple composites in After Effects. The question I have is regarding the specific workflow when it comes to dealing with Red Footage in AE. Currently, the project, which is very small, is getting it’s fine cut done by the editor, and their post supervisor asked how I would like the plates to be delivered for comping…I requested 4k 10 bit DPX files set to Red Gamma/ Red Log Film color space, which I understand to be standard for ingesting.
    The question I have is the best workflow setup for this in AE? Because AE has recently upgraded with CC 2014, there are several new plug ins that I am not familiar with regarding importing DPX or Open EXR files, and the precise color space to work in so I can have a “normalized” project to comp in…..basically Log to Lin, and then exporting Lin to Log.
    This is what I have gathered, and again, I’m not sure if this is correct, so please let me know your thoughts on the best way to work with this:
    Basically I was told to work in sRGB color space in AE in order to work with my VFX comps and elements in the “normalized” sRGB linear colorspace, so go “Log to Lin"
    1. Import the red footage as 10 bit DPX sequence into AE (with a RedLog Film color gamma applied)…the project settings should be set at 32 bit depth and the working space set to sRGB
    2. Right Click on the DPX footage and select “Interpret Footage” select “Main” and then go to the “Color Management” Tab
    3. At the “Assign Profile” Box, select “Universal Camera Film Printing Density”. This should “normalize” the footage in the RGB colorspace of the project, and I should be able to see a Rec709 (sRGB) image instead of flat Log.
    For the Rendered Output from AE for the colorist…..
    Best to render out two different formats, one in Log space for the colorist, and one in a 1080 QT linear space for approvals from the Director
    1. In the AE Render queue, set up two output modules…go to “Output Module Settings” and select “Color Management” tab, then select the “Output Profile”.
    2. Set the profile to “Universal Camera Film Printing Density”, and the file format to DPX…or whichever the colorist requests as the file format (png, Tiff, etc)
    3. The second module can be set to sRGB in QT for approvals
    Does this make sense? Is there a better way? Am I on point? Thanks so much, I really want to have this nailed down before I continue.

    Jason talks about merging clips right a the beginning of the video.

  • Importing logged footage into Prelude?

    I have a project that was partially logged in Premiere CS5.5 and now I would like to continue the process in Prelude for the logged and new, unlogged footage. We only modified a couple of metadata fields (log notes) in CS5.5, but when I try to ingest the files into Prelude, our comments do not show up. Is it possible to import the media already logged with the metadata, into Prelude? If so, how?
    Greg

    needles27 is correct, comments entered in the "Comments" field under "Premiere Pro Project Metadata" won't appear in Prelude because this metadata is not written into the media files.
    However if you put the comments into the Dynamic Media > Comments field this information will be written into the media's XMP and will appear in Prelude.  Choose Metadata Display from the Premiere Pro project panel flyout menu then enable Dynamic Media > Comment.

  • RED footage record frame rate

    I am working with some RED footage in PP CS5.5 and I would like to check with my media what was the recording frame rate at the time of the shoot. I looked into the metadata and cannot find any field with that information. For example I have some slow motion footage shot at different frame rates and I would like to identify precisely what it is.
    If I go in REDCINE-X PRO there is a field called "Record Frame Rate" that gives me exactly that information. What is the equivalent in Premiere Pro and where can I find it?
    Thank you,
    David

    No... I checked the Clip Properties window as well with no luck...
    Here is the information I get in REDCINE-X PRO: you can see that particular clip was shot at 300 fps
    Here is the information I get in PP CS5.5, inside the project window (I looked also into the metada information with no luck so far...):
    Again when I play this clip in PP @ 23.976, it plays in slowmo as expected because it was shot at 300 fps. What I would like to get is that information of Recorded Frame Rate in PP.
    Thanks,
    David

  • RED footage with audio won´t import to timeline anymore?!

    Hello,
    I cannon import any RED footage to the timeline anymore. I can import it with media browser, view it in viewer and make a new comp with it but there is no way to get a clip from the viewer to the timeline. It works fine with RED footage that has no audio.
    I am running 8.2 and this worked fine a week ago...
    Any info?
    Thanks

    So it gets more confusing ...
    I cleared all the .xmp files from a folder, and drag and dropped straight from explorer to the timeline, it all imported !
    So i start do this for a few different folders, seems to be working...
    I then say , well hey ill go back to media browser and try to reimport and organise my file structure the way i like.. all of the sudden it reverts back to audio only, even from win explorer, then i grab 4 clips at once ... it imports them ?
    So, i go back to media my project window, grab 3 files, and it now drops them on the timeline.
    I won't play like I'm understanding the logic here, one would think  spanning clips or somthing but it seems much more random
    Though, if in the future anyone has this problem, try draggin more than 1 clip at a time in and see if that gets you going.
    ADOBE : Can you please shed some light on this, although i have figured a strange work around, this means i cannot use the source window like a usual workflow and i must actually import everything to the timeline then cut and scrap the rest.

  • Ingesting AVCHD Footage into FCE (shot 720/24p)

    Hi, I've been reading up a lot on various problems with ingesting AVCHD footage into FC Express. I'm using a Panasonic HM150 camera. I've transfered the footage from a SD Card reader to my Iomega 500GB external drive. We shot our footage at 720/24p. I tried to use easy setup for this, but there is no format for this in FCE 4.0.1. The best that I can do seems to be AVCHD 1080i. Can anyone assist me with how I can get FCE to ingest AVCHD footage shot at 720/24p and the exact settings I need to use to ensure correct ingestion? Upon trying to log and transfer it, I keep getting the red exclamation mark. Would this be because the settings are incorrect? I'm surprised that FCE doesn't have this particular setting since many people do shoot in the 720 mode.
    Many thanks,
    J.D.

    Although FCE isn't designed to work with 24p footage, I've heard of a lot of people recently being able to ingest it anyway into FCE, but then getting stuck when it's time to put it into a sequence.
    Click the gear button in the upper right of the Log and Transfer window, and navigate to the Preferences menu. Make sure Audio is set to *Plain Stereo* and click the button to *Clear the Cache.* Now try ingesting with your Easy Setup set to AIC 720p30. If it works, you can then use the free [MPEG Streamclip|http://www.squared5.com> to convert the capture scratch files to 29.97fps and edit them in FCE.
    If it doesn't work, you may be able to use [Voltaic HD|http://www.shedworx.com/voltaichd] to convert from AVCHD to the Apple Intermediate Codec at 29.97fps for editing.

  • Red Footage and Final Cut Server

    Aloha gang-
    I am still testing FCS in our studio and enjoy many of the features in this product. I love being able to search for footage and pull it into my FCP project with no waiting (using edit-in-place). But I am looking for some advice and knowledge regarding Red Footage.
    My scenerio is this:
    We render all our red footage to offline files that we will use in the post production process. I want to tag all those files with appropriate metadata so our edit team can search and retrieve files as they need it. But with red there are 7 files (in our workflow) that correspond to the same thing. Basically there is the original R3D file which can not be used in FCP, there are the 4 quicktime proxies that the camera generates and live in the same folder as the R3D, and these are the files I want to get back to after the production is through and archived. There is the offline quicktime we generate to edit with which we need to tag. There is a log and transfer quicktime we can log and transfer all this data to FCS (but it doubles the data size so I am not looking to use this one and edit performance is okay at best), and finally there is the folder that the 4 proxies and original red file live in.
    All of these files should be search able by the same metadata. Imagine the shot is of a blue bird. When I type blue bird I would want all of these files to show up (obviously I could limit my search so I only get the version I need for what I am doing i.e. offline, proxie, etc. I have made metadata lookups for this so this is not the challenge.)
    The challenge is I only want to log 1 of these files and have the metadata applied to all of them. They all have almost identical names. The offline, R3D, and folder file have the exact same name. The proxies are identical but with _F, _H, _M, and _P behind them. For the catalog process I only want to transcode proxies for the _M (The _F, _H take way too long and the proxies look the same as _M and the _P is too small
    I could make them a bundle but that does not help too much as the offline lives in a different place as the footage.
    Any ideas would be greatful. My easiest solution is to tag the files twice, once for the production and once for the archive, but this seems like a waste of time that I could have a computer do instead
    P.S. anyone successful in getting the metadata out of the red file, I see the red metadata set, and have it in place, but can not get it to show anything no matter which file I upload.
    Any ideas, or help would be great
    mahalo
    scott

    Thank you for your replies. I guess my question is not really answered because of the conundrum associated with red footage
    But my workflow to get through this will be as follows: (In case anyone is interested)
    Set a scan to bring in the offline quicktimes as they are rendered and have someone tag them with meaningful tags to help us search during the production. I will send those to archive when we are done.
    After the project is completed and the files are removed from Final Cut Server I will set a scan to import all the _M files (they transcode faster and quality is not an issue since it is making proxies) and tag them as best I can for the long haul (archive) I can either leave the media on the drive or back it up, depending on the immediate use of the files. This works very well if the media is still there as I can just drag the _M into Clipfinder and render the shot I need as I need it.
    I am storing these clips in folders labeled CC_LTOXXX (where XXX is the number for the LTO tape which increases by one for each tape I use. When I import them into Final Cut Server from the LTO folder I have a direct line to which LTO tape the file lives on. It's not easy to get the files back (so with files used frequently I will also keep a copy on an external drive I can just plug in) from an LTO, but it is doable.
    If anyone has an easy way to pull a list of files from an LTO tape that would be great, and even better if it could be a list Final Cut Server made, or if Final Cut Server could just pull the files. My LTO is a network drive so I would have to access it through an IP address, but if I could do that I would be golden.
    Anyway I know this will all evolve and this is just where I am right now, any ideas would be appreciated.
    Mahalo

  • RED Footage has strange banding with H.264 export

    Exporting RED footage to H.264 (just as review files) from Media Encoder CC 2014 and it has some strange horizontal banding going on.  Never happened with CC.  Anyone know what this is??

    Would you be able to post an image of that issue here on the forum message?  that help us better understand the issue you are referring to.  Also, what Settings in H264 did you have?  Maybe you can post image of your settings as well.
    Thanks.
