Announcement from Red Giant

Adobe CC 2014 Compatibility Coming Soon
Today Adobe announced the immediate release of Creative Cloud 2014, a big update to Creative Cloud. We're really excited about the new versions of After Effects and Premiere Pro, which are both full of a ton of great features.
We have been testing with the pre-release versions of the new Creative Cloud, but always make sure we do our final tests with the released versions before posting our updated software. At this time we are still in final testing of CC 2014 compatibility in our plug-ins. If you want to keep using your Red Giant plug-ins, we recommend that you do not install the CC 2014 update for now.
We are very close to an update that will let you use all CC-compatible Red Giant products in CC 2014. We will be sending out another email to let you know when we are CC 2014-ready. As always, if you have any questions or problems, our support team is here for you.
Stay tuned.

Just got an email:
Red Giant's plugins are now compatible.
We are Ready for Adobe CC 2014

Just installed Red Giant Trapcode Suite, now AE CC will no longer import or recognize jpeg files?

Have tried trashing AE Preferences, deleting Media Caches, etc to no avail. Also get red outline or screens on AE Start Up or Quit?
Anyone else experienced anything like this??
Installed on Mac Pro 4.1 running OSX 10.9.5, 36GB RAM, Nvdia Quaddro FX 4800.

In fact all prior projects that utilized a jpeg or png for an Environment Map, background, composited layer, etc., etc. have all links broken and will not reload or replace footage already in projects.
Trapcode Suite 12 downloaded from Red Giant for CC and installed properly.

Does Red Giant Software, (Look Suite) use CMYK graphics?

Hello friends,
I am trying to color correct my FCP project with FCP and Look Suite from Red Giant, but it continues to give me the "out of memory" error when I try to render. Is this because Look Suite is using CMYK graphics? Also does the new upgraded "LOOKS" use it as well?
Clever Wolf

Not familiar with Look Suite but It's fairly well known that FCP does not like CMYK graphics and will give memory errors and crash when it has to deal with them. So if you know that you are getting CMYK from LS, I'd say that's the problem. It does sound odd though that a program made to run with FCP would work in CMYK.

Red Giant Plug-ins won't load in Premiere Pro CC

I have been unable to get certain Red Giant plug-ins (frames and denoiser 2) to show up in Premiere Pro CC. Others, like LUT buddy and Looks work fine. I have tried countless things with the people at Red Giant, but we can't seem to figure it out. Anyone???

was able to finally figure it out with the help of Wenzel - an extremely courteous tech from Ueberschall - who was able to show me the couple of little tweaks I'd needed in order to get everything up & running - but thanks to anyone else who would have answered me -

Has anyone tried Red Giant Denoiser II in Compressor?

Hi
I hope you can help me out. I've started using denoiser II and find it works great in FCP, although it does slow it down a bit. The issue I'm having is in compressor for a one and half hour project, it might take 6-7 hours to encode but when I've used denoiser II on 12 mins of that 1hr and half film, it has increased the encode time to over 27hours? (still encoding so not sure how long it is going to take). Have I done something wrong? Or why is it taking so long to encode? Can anyone help?
All clips are Apple pro res442 1080HD. I use an imac, OSx 10.6.8
Many thanks
Kaylee

Hi Russ
Yes, all that's right. Sorry, didn't give enough information. It's the Red giant Magic Bullet denoiser plug in which I bought and downloaded to my FCP a couple of days ago. I was editing a project which had about 12 mins of noisey footage at the end. All the clips are apple prores 422 and I send it to compressor from FCP in drop down menu send to> compressor.
In compressor I use 'DVD best quality 90 mins', which i use as standard and it finished last night after taking around 33 and a half hours to turn into the video and audio files I then put into DVD studio pro. It usually takes me about 6 hours or so for this paticular process so I'm wondering if I've done something wrong with this plug-in? Or if anyone has used denoiser II and gone through this process before?
I use a Mac OSX version 10.6.8. Memory is 8GB. The processor is 3.06 Ghz Intel core 2 duo.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Red Giant Trapcode plugins no longer work after updating to Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 (v8.1)

I'm not sure why but after updating Premiere Pro CC to 2014.1 none of my previously installed Trapcode plugins work. I tried uninstalling Trapcode and then re-installing the latest Trapcode update (12.1.6) but it didn't fix the problem. I'm also running Windows 8.1.
I checked the plugin loading log file (\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\8.0\Plugin Loading.log) and noticed all the Trapcode plugins had the message "The plugin is marked as Ignore, so it will not be loaded."
So to fix it, I had to manually modify the registry and change "Ignore"=dword:00000001 to "Ignore"=dword:00000000 for most instances of my Red Giant plugins. Everything works now.
Here's all the ones I had to modify:

First ... have you checked that these are all updated to work with the CC versions? I'd check with the makers of each plugin, the software has MANY differences.
Next ... if say you removed all but one, do any of them work? It might be worthwhile to remove them from the folder, then add one by one until you find one that is crashing things. That would at least get you part way forward.
And ... you might list which ones you have, in what versions. Folks around here might be able to help just seeing that.

Red Giant Looks not showing preview on Premiere Pro CC ?

We used to use the Looks on Premiere Pro CS6 since last year and it was the best color grading tool for us.
Now we just got the update for CC and installed.
Looks installed and showing on effects panel. But the main thing is missing!
THE PREVIEW to apply the looks.
Earlier it used to show the preview of video cursor and it was easy to apply from that preview.
But now the preview is missing.
See this screenshot,

CODEC Support - Red Giant Bullet-Proof Understanding Ingest-Export Sequence Choices?

I shoot with a Canon EOS C100 that records AVCHD internally. I also use a Ninja Blade to record DNxHD at 220 Mps. I find no built-in support for either of these formats in Bullet Proof and Premiere Pro. Is there a reason for that?
I'm trying to understand why the default export is MJPEG. For some reason, I thought that was an old codec no longer used. And it takes forever for Bullet Proof to export it. I have a very fast computer with an X99 2011 v3 chipset and 64 GB RAM, an Areca 12G RAID controller with a 16TB RAID 5 attached. And SSD for backup storage.
I don't mind editing MJPEG. I just don't know if it is the best I could do, or if it's better to edit the original AVCHD. In other words, If I ingest AVCHD footage, is it best to transcode it to MJPEG or another format for editing? Since there is no preset for AVCHD, what then should my edit settings be?
I also still do not understand the reasoning for the complex folder structure coming off the C100. I have read that it is important to leave that structure intact, but I don't see the benefit. Premiere has no use for it, it seems.

with the constant changes to adobe's software, its helpful to know which version we are talking about. alot of people ask questions here with older versions of the software...
if premiere doesn't get your footage right when making a new sequence, then choose one that matches the footage the best by resolution and fps. you can also click on the settings tab, when making a new sequence, to customize it exactly to your needs. you can even save this as a preset that will show in the first tab with the default presets, so if you plan on using these media alot, you wont have to remake the custom sequence each time.
im not exactly sure what all you do in bulletproof, so i hinted at prelude since it does let you transcode to alot more codecs. prelude is an ingest program, you can trim clips (but only if transcoding), add metadata & markers, and have it export to multiple locations as the original and/or in different formats. prelude will only show presets when transcoding, so if you need a different one you will have to open adobe media encoder and make a new preset in there. then it will show in prelude. i like red giants software, but bulletproof export codecs seem rather limited. if the pass-through option just copies and doesn't re-encode then that might work for you.
when exporting from premiere you can also choose a preset close to your media and then customize it to your needs. you can even save it as a preset to recall later. i would stick with dnxhd for export, especially if you plan on bringing it back into premiere. dnxhd is very high quality if choosing its high bitrate format. there are several options for dnxhd 220, one should match your Ninja Blade. these are found under the quicktime format and video codec as avid dnxhd. its also available in mxf format.
adobe's presets try to cover a wide range of cameras and media but can only cover so many, new ones coming out all the time... in sequence settings and export you have full control to customize it to your media and needs.

Red Giant Instant HD Ver 6

Hi Gang
I'm using FCS 6
Had a copy of Red Giant Instant HD 6 which I haven't tried until now.
Installed it, followed directions to reset the summary tab in Audio Video settings. Brought some 24P footage into a project (ALL of this footage is 720x480 Standard Def).
Tried dragging the HD plug in on clips - seems the plug in, or something causes FC to crash repeatedly. Sometimes can't save a project after render.
Removed the plug in from FC - removed the HD plug in from the clips, and FC appears stable again.
Have read here;
[http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/review_instant_hd_douglas.html | http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/review_instant_hd_douglas.html]
Apparently this software is not a good choice when converting all SD footage to HD. Unless I'm missing something, Ken Stone indicates this software works best when incorporating a few converted clips into an HD project.
Anyone have experience with this?
Thanx
Mike

Obviously I don't know the finer details of your project or where you intend to display it but here are a few thoughts.
1. I believe all your footage is 4:3 so there is no way you can get it to the 16:9 apect ratio of HD without either cropping, which would further reduce the effective quality, or stretching which would create distortion.
2. It is dealing with events in the 1940's when 4:3 was the accepted shape, therefore keeping the project like that will add verisimilitude.
3. Most TV broadcasts throughout the world are viewed in standard definition and few people are dissatisfied with the quality.
4. I imagine that the intended audience is composed mainly of the remaining veterans and their families, school/college students and historical societies. These people are not going to be looking for ultra-modern super quality results.They will be more concerned with the poignant and dramatic story that is being told.
So I wouldn't be too concerned about altering it from 4:3 SD, but as I said originally, I don't know exactly what plans you have for it.

Nattress, Red Giant or Boris?

I am researching a technical issue for a doc I've been asked to edit. Most of the film will be split screen with 23.98 Canon 5D talking head footage in one half and archival video ripped from DVDs on the other. I am planning to cut in FCP7 in a 23.98 1920 x 1080 Apple Prores 422 sequence. Canon has a plug-in to convert the H.264 to Prores that I've used and liked. Should I rip the DVDs to Prores? What software should I use for that? Should I then try Boris Image Restoration Unit options, Nattress's G Film Converter V2.5 or Red Giant's
Frames as filters in FCP? Will the filters or FCPs interpolation grind my system to a halt because I'm sharing the screen with mixed frame rates?
We have some money to convert the footage, but probably not the budget it would take to fix it in a Teranex or something hardware based, especially for offline editing.
Any workflow advice you have would be appreciated.

I was going to say about the same thing...your call. But I'll add each of these pathways, and there are many if you look at permutations and variables, create a slightly different look and feel. Your decision about filter packages needs to be based on your director's stylistic vision and which will help you achieve that. If you buy one package, you're stuck with its controls and options, however numerous and robust they may be.
One more thing...your director cannot rely on an effects package for anything except effects.

Red Giant Colorista Plugin

Does Zeb, or any other serious colorist, have comment about Red Giant's Colorista plugin for FCP?

really what the Colorista do that 3 way can't?
DAVE
the main thing is a "power window." to do that now within fcp, one has to make a mask shape, duplicate the clip and what have you. not hard but once you've been on a da vinci, this capability within colorista is very cool and to me it's the main selling point. the two quicktime movies red giant put up there are extremely bad at selling this product.
i also like the way the color balance wheels work, i think they work better than apple's 3 way. if i have a color in mind, i can use apple's color picker to get there immediately rather than dragging a dot and mouse all over my desk.
i really do not like color finesse at all, i have the ae plug-in and as i can't see cf working on my monitor, it's kinda useless. if i had a job paying for a card that i could get video out, i may take a different look at it.
i wish i could have seen final touch in action but i couldn't get the demo as i still have a g4. apparently the integration with fcp was less than adequate and you can read all the tales of woe on the cow. it will be interesting to see how apple integrates final touch.
like anything, these are tools and obviously not every carpenter swings the same hammer. it's not a perfect application but from my little testing today, i think it works well, just not very well on a laptop. looking forward to testing it on my desktop mac.

Red Giant Looks - Totally Gone

Ok, I feel like I'm going out of my mind.
I upgraded to CS5 a couple of weeks ago. I went through the usual agony upgrading plug ins and finding out which ones would no longer work because of compatibility issues. My main filter package, "Vitascene" by ProDad, no longer worked. So, I purchased Magic Bullet Looks, which I was quite happy with and promptly completed two small projects with it.
I already had their Starglow and Shine, and saw that I had to pay for an upgrade for those programs to be able to use them on CS5. I purchased the upgrades. I installed both of them and only Shine would appear in the "Trapcode" folder in the effects tab. I was too busy to follow up on this until today. I called their tech support and we discovered that the files for Starglow had been written into a random file. We corrected that problem, by installing Starglow in the correct folder :
local disk/program files/Adobe/common/plugin/cs5/mediacore
Well, all that did was make Starglow show up, but Shine no longer showed up in the trapcode effects folder in PP.
The tech person had me start PP while holding down the shift key, until the Welcome screen appeared, and told me this would reset the plugins. I did this, and when I went into the program again, Looks was totally gone, and Misfire (a free set of plug ins that comes with Looks) was still there, but only 2 of the 14 plugins were in the Misfire folder. Starglow appeared, but no Shine.
The only suggestions Red Giant support could give me was to install and uninstall the programs - which I did about 20 times since then. I even uninstalled CS5 and reinstalled it (plus updates).
So now, what I have is all the plug ins in their proper places in the media core folder, but nothing appearing in PP except Starglow and two of the misfire plugins.
I'm at my wits end. I've got two projects in process that depend on these filters. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks all,
Jessica

Bill, good advice... is best to go slow and be sure on that stuff....and if necessary make "notes" to self about what you do (hierarchy location, key and value changes )..
Colin...I've had some weird stuff happen with servers using multiple instances of SQL server ( on the server ) and my experience has been that in some cases stuff is programmed very loosely by some companies...where this area of the OS gets confused and doesnt give "permission" when it should...component services...I wouldnt be surprised if that isnt where the problem comes from ....as it will write to the registry re: those permissions etc..
Maybe if you have a similar prob in future you could check out this area before checking the log and registry..and see if its coming from here ??
I dont mean "permission" like admin and powe user etc... but in terms of the computer "name" aliases and stuff like that

Red Giant transitions no longer work in Mac OS 10.9.5

I recently updated my Mac Pro to 10.9.5 and now my Red Giant Universe transitions, such as Swish Pan (works like Wind Blur in Final Cut) have all stopped working. Not only do they no longer work, but they make my project crash and I have to create a copy of the project. Has anyone else had this experience? Is there any way to fix it?

My two cents-- I'm a fan of Red Giant and have a bunch of their products but Universe has been a dud in my opinion. Didn't upgrade to the premium version but kept it installed just to kick the tires and it's been a total headache. Finally uninstalled it.
May not be Red Giant's issue per se, but for whatever reason all my Adobe stuff runs better without it.

Red Giant's DeNoiser II in Premiere CS6?

I usually use Neat Video but I do not own the Premiere version so I thought I'd give Red Giant's noise reduction a try. I'm impressed with the quality but find that with a few instances of the plugin on clips Premiere slows so much that just making changes to the plugin settings is not very functional without long pauses. I tested the Neat video limited version and it does not have this problem. Am I doing someting wrong? I have an i7, 12gb of ram and a 570 card. Other Red Giant plugins like Colorista and Looks work fine for me.
Thanks, Marc

I played around with it some more and read about other people having the same issues. It's slow as molasses not just during rendering but even when trying to make adjustments or turn the effect on and off. I ended up buying a Neat Video license for Premiere which seems to work with no problems.
