Online in FCP with Red One

I am trying to do online with footage from RED One in FCP (uncompressed files). There is no way to playback in realtime. Is this not possible at all? Firewire 800 harddisk.
I am sending to Lustre for grading so I cannot use ProRes..have to use uncompressed. Any tips or tricks?

Proxy editing is used for editing RED in FCP using the REDCODE plugin which will allow playback.
There is a complete FCP workflow description and very detailed instructions for system requirements, etc., on the RED site:
http://www.red.com/workflow
http://www.red.com/support
lots of useful information about FCP editing workflows over on the RED forums:
http://www.reduser.net
http://www.redcamcentral.com
Otherwise, to use native R3D files, you'll need to something like RED Alert for the Mac.
I'm sure better RED support in FCP is coming, but right now 4K uncompressed editing requires brute strength. It's possible that you may be able to use something like SheerVideo to lower your overhead.
In any case, I would check the RED site and forums first, and verify exactly what kind of "uncompressed" files your Lustre artist needs.

  • RED ONE camera to FCP to compressor for DVD

    My client used RED ONE camera for filming. He used FCP to edit it then exported it in 1920x1080 Apple ProRes 422 (HQ). He sent it to me by mail (external HD) for me to use that QT movie Apple ProRes 422 for Compressor to compress it into SD DVD MPEG-2 5.0 2-pass with Progressive (Best Quality). I used DVD Studio Pro and found it very unsatisfied with the quality of video because I'm seeing a lot of pixels around those letters during open/close credits. Not only that, I also see a lot of bad interlaced video. I set it up for Progressive and YET I'm still seeing interlaced in it. What's did I do wrong? How can I make it the best quality video for SD DVD from Red One camera or Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)? I know Blue-ray is the best answer but a lot of my costumers don't own blue-ray dvd player. (I'm sure you're aware that HD DVD don't work on any DVD players, only on Mac computer which is very unfortunate for me!) Please help! I'm flirting the deadline right now:)

    1. Take your sequence into an uncompressed 720x480 16x9 anamorphic sequence. It needs to be 720x480 first since thats the resolution of NTSC DVD - create a 720x480 uncompressed 16x9 anamorphic sequence
    2. With a bitrate calculator, you would need to determine the best bitrate. How long is your DVD? (include menus as well) plug it into the calc. here's a good one:
    http://www.videohelp.com/calc.htm
    3. Export out through compressor as an MPEG2 file and the bitrates from above. make sure you match field order of your source if interlaced
    4. Import into DVDSP and author away

  • Importing red one  footage with final Cut 6

    Im getting an error message saying file type is to new for final cut to recognize. Iv'e downloaded the latest red one codec and installed it but I can't believe I won't be able to see the footage on FC6? Am I really going to have to upgrade to 7?

    I would do the transcoding to ProRes 422 in Redcine-X. Then import those files into FCP. It works better than FCP's Log and Transfer when working with RED footage. You have more options for transcoding.

  • RED ONE Standards Coversion for FCP

    I have an underwater photographer shooting on a RED ONE and he wants to shoot 25 as he is in Australia which is PAL. The footage is being shared between us, but we will be editing in FCP in an HD NTSC 29.97 sequence to match our other footage.
    Is converting from 29.97 to 25 or 25 to 29.97 a better option? Or is there a better shooting mode that will convert to both better?

    If you shoot 25p, you can conform the footage in Cinema Tools to 23.98fps, and add 3:2 pulldown to get it to 29.97fps for NTSC timeline.
    If you shoot 24p (23.98fps default on the RED) you can just added 3:2 pulldown to get to 29.97fps for NTSC timeline.
    Either way will work fine.
    To add 3:2 pulldown, you can output a 24p timeline to tape in FCP, or you add it with a render process using one of my plugins for instance. I'd avoid placing 24p directly onto a NTSC timeline as that just dupes frames in FCP and tends to look bad.
    Is there a need for the final product to also go to PAL? If so, what is the exact format of the HD footage on the 29.97fps timeline? For dual PAL / NTSC production, it's usually best to keep everything 24p / 25p as via conform and pulldown you can go either way with minimal picture quality issues.

  • My bb 9380 won't turn on while the screen shows one battery sign with red cross mark ( not charging sign )

    my bb 9380 won't turn on while the screen shows one battery sign with red cross mark ( not charging sign ), i think the battery drained and switch it for charging but it will show only not charging sign . i bought this phone before 9 months, whats the solution for this ?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
    With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
    Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    Remove the battery
    Wait 15 minutes
    Insert the battery
    Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
    It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
    Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • All my saved layers disappeared. Shows only one locked black layer.with red sripes

    All my saved layers disappeared. Shows only one locked black layer.with red sripes

    Apple changed the save behaviour several times in the past few versions of MacOsX - there is a good article about this:
    http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/os-x-mountain-lion-how-apple-rescued-save-as
    The trouble is, you should (I know, not much of a help to you at this point) always create backups AND work with versions. So save many versions (x1, x1a, x2, x2a, etc), because when you work within one master file you run the risk of these type of accidents and there is always a tiny change your file becomes corrupt for some external reason. You never know. Disk space is cheap, losing your work is often a real hassle, and can become very problematic when dealing with clients.
    So, save many versions, and make backups of your work. And never NEVER open your original files in any other software - always use a duplicate. You never know what that software might do to your files.
    Anyway, have you tried searching for the file name on your mac? Maybe, just maybe there is a duplicate lying around somewhere with the layers intact.

  • How to injest RED ONE camera footage in FCP?

    Hi there,
    I have downloaded the necessary drivers from the RED website and I am expecting to receive the files from the director off of his hard drive this week.
    What should I be expecting in terms of files for an offline edit? Is there a link or process to view the steps to inject into FCP?
    Thanks!
    Steven

    I am a whatever works for you guy...but at the same time I think it's important to consider once you are working with Red or 10bit source PRHQ may be your friend.
    RED FCP Whitepaper:
    Method 1: Transcoding to ProRes 422
    You may choose to transcode R3D media to ProRes 422 or ProRes 422 (HQ) compressed QuickTime files. ProRes 422 is suitable for creating lower-quality files for offline editing, but ProRes 422 (HQ) is recommended for higher-quality mastering. You can set this up by opening the Log and Transfer window’s Import Preferences dialog.
    • ProRes 422 (HQ) – Suitable for ingest and mastering of high-quality chroma- subsampled/YʼCbCr color space media for high definition broadcast masters.
    • ProRes 422 – Suitable for ingest and mastering of high-quality chroma-subsampled/ YʼCbCr color space media for standard definition broadcast masters, or good-quality mastering at HD resolutions.
    This workflow describes transcoding your REDCODE media to 2K resolution Apple ProRes clips, and then mastering using Apple ProRes.
    • Advantage — This is a straightforward workflow with no reconforming necessary. Editing using the Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) codec is simple and efficient, especially for programs that are destined for output to a YʼCbCr-based tape format.

  • Quicktime No longer provides Sorenson3 or compatibility with RED???

    Ever since I updated my Quicktime to 7.4.1 (without doing enough research on the topic unfortunately) I have not been able to view quicktime files created from the RED camera and Sorenson 3 seems to not be an option for outputs anymore.
    Is the RED Codec issue going to something that will eventually be worked out?
    Also is Sorenson 3 pretty much extinct now?
    What are the nesisary steps I will have to take to get my quicktime back to the older version if need be?
    Any advice would be much appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Jesse

    FWIW, I have one support client who is using Red files and Redcine without issue in QT 7.4.1 (under v10.5.2) and FCP 6.0.2.
    He has a 2008 Mac Pro that I built up for him with a Kona 3 and a Sonnet Tech Fusion D800RAID.
    I didn't really have much of an option WRT the QT rev, because the Mac Pro came with QT 7.4.
    Most the the systems having problems with Red files in QT 7.4.1 are on v10.4.11.
    YMMV.

  • RED ONE 4.5K footage is darker when paused

    Computer: Macbook Pro 2.5ghz Intel Core Duo
    OS: 10.6.4
    Running: Final Cut Pro 7.0.3
    Using footage transcoded from RED ONE Rushes
    When I import .mov files that are half-res 422 ProRes HQ compressed file of a RED ONE 4.5k Wide original, I find that my footage is darker when paused. When I press play the film lightens a bit while playing until I stop it. I feel like this has something to do with the quicktime Gamma Shift from the new version of Quicktime X. I do not notice this problem when I open the files in quicktime pro 7.6.6. I had Quicktime X, but deleted it because I thought it may have been causing the problem.
    This problem does not happen to my half-res 422 ProRes HQ compressed file from 2k footage, only the 4.5k wide. This is weird because the same footage playing on the same version of FCP on a tower works fine at my school. It is only this computer that seems to be weird.

    This isn't the gamma shift issue, this is typical of playback on footage that is high res played back on slow drives. This won't show up on an external monitor connected via a capture card.
    #2 Blurry Playback
    Shane's Stock Answer #2: Blurry/Low Quality playback
    ONLY JUDGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR MATERIAL ON AN EXTERNAL BROADCAST MONITOR, OR AT LEAST A TV.
    Video playback requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the video data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or broadcast monitor.

  • RED ONE digital camera...

    Has anyone used a RED digital camera with FCP?
    RED Camera specs: http://www.red.com/cameras/tech_specs/
    If so, how does FCP handle those resolutions (4900 x 2580) and frame rates (120 fps)? I watched a recent BluRay (Red Dwarf - Back to Earth) and was VERY impressed with the quality -- apparent RED camera's were used to shoot the footage. These cameras cost a fraction of the $250,000 Movie studio cameras at somewhere around $20,000-$25,000 US.
    Would love to hear from anyone who's had experience with this camera and even more so someone who's worked on post production footage.
    Thanks, Rob.

    Yes the RedOne is a fantastic camera, but as Shane pointed out, it is really a professional tool meant to replace 35mm - not HD video. That isn't to say it can't be done - and it will certainly make some super nice HD video, but the cost of entry is still pretty high, even if it is much less than a comparable film camera (and all the processing/scanning involved there).
    More important than the 4k numbers though is the fact that it shoots what is effectively RAW video - allowing for a lot of post processing/grading/vfx. Check out District 9 - while not all of it was shot on Red (the docu stuff was done on an HD Sony camera I believe - a much less $$ one than Red) a lot of the FX sequences were.
    Keep a lookout for the Red Scarlet which should be available soon. That will offer 3k in a much smaller and more "prosumer" friendly package, without sacrificing the RAW capabilities. They are going to be making special "mini-prime" lenses for it too - should be a great replacement for DSLRs shooting H264.

  • What is the best way to keep up with "RED" agents?

    TES 6.03.265
    Hello all,
    I'm fairly new to Tidal, and have a question mainly for those managing a hundred or more agents.
    We have several hundred agents, and it is difficult for the operators to track & follow-up on all of the "RED" agents.
    In the GUI, one cannot sort by "red or green"....and the other view of agents -  the "master" view of connections -  does not distinguish between disabled agents and broken (red) agents...it shows them all as "grey".
    We REALLY need for our operations team to worry about RED agents....not so much the disabled agents (which are grey in both views).
    A job that runs at a regular interval, and emails a list of any "RED" agents that it finds....would probably work just fine for us, if nothing better was available.
    But I can't figure out the query....the closest I can get is to report on all inactive agents with "null" time zones....but I have seen where agents are green with no timezone (the master's agent) and red WITH a timezone (an aix agent)....so that is not 100% reliable.
    I guess my question boils down to this:  how does that agent status dot turn "RED"?
    Is that value extracted from a table, or does something trigger it to go red?
    What does everyone else who manages hundreds of agents do to keep up with all the RED ones?
    Thanks, - Steve

    Thanks Tracy,
    Guess I need to drill down a bit deeper.
    My goal is to give the operators the ability to take a list of "RED" jobs - that they could generate by running a "report" or running a "report job", or by grouping them together in the client so they could copy/paste only the rows with RED dots....anything to generate a list that they could save as a txt file or attach to an email to another team, things like that. Sometimes we have a lot of broken agents to keep up with.
    I've had mixed results with the alerts/events, anyway, in terms of general monitoring...sometimes we have a lot of agents that go from green to red back to green before the operator could even isolate the agent in question....a lot of false alarms...tweaking the timeout settings didn't help much, and a value too big seems to hang up the agent processes...not a good thing.
    Thanks again for the response!
    -Steve

    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you have a hardware problem with the iPod. This is because as you said the same cable works with another iPod.

  • My battery drained. Screen shows battery with red line but doesn't seem to be recharding after 20 min.  Should I wait or do a hard restart? I haven't backedup in ages and don't want to lose pics, contacts etc.

    My battery drained. Pluged in to wall but screen shows battery with red line but doesn't seem to be recharding after 20 min.  Should I wait longer or do a hard restart? I haven't backedup in ages and don't want to lose pics, contacts etc.  Will a hard restart wipe all that out?

    Agree with Richard:
    -Your device needs both the CR and LF. To accomplish this:
    option 1: Concatenate the "end of line" string constant (this is a combination of CR and LF, located in the string pallete) to all your outgoing commands. Make sure in the "Visa configure serial port" the "Termination character enable" flag is false.
    option 2: Concatenate only a CR to your command's strings. Make sure in the "Visa configure serial port" the "Termination character enable" flag is TRUE AND that the termination character is set to 10 (meaning LF) which I think is the default.
    Details can be seen in this link:
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/862567530005F09C862565BE005AB500
    "Adding Termination Characters to VISA Serial Writes in LabVIEW"
    Interesting would be to configure the serial port to accept not one but two termination characters. The above links refers to the document "Developer Zone Tutorial: Termination Characters in NI-VISA.", where this is supposed to be possible. The document however is 404'ed.
    If someone find a working link please post it.

  • Solo Button in Channel Strip with Red Line

    Solo Button in Channel Strip with Red Line through it and it won't solo?
    How'd it happen and how do you get rid of it?
    Thanks!

    Try This----From the Manual
    Logic Pro, Express: Solo Safe mode may not remain disabled for a particular channel strip
    Symptoms
    In certain projects, "Solo Safe" mode for a channel strip may enable each time you load the project, even after you disable it and save the project.
    Resolution
    When a channel strip in Logic is "Solo Safe", it remains audible, even when other channel strips are soloed. Solo Safe is indicated by a diagonal red line through the solo button on a channel strip.
    You can manually toggle the solo safe status of a channel strip by Control-clicking its solo button. There are times when you may find that a particular audio channel strip in a project reverts to solo safe mode when you load the project, even after you manually disable solo safe. Here is why that may happen and steps you can take to prevent it from occurring.
    A Logic project contains a special audio channel strip used for pre-listening to audio in the Sample Edit window, Audio Bin, and Loop Browser. When you create a Logic project from one of the factory templates, this channel strip is assigned to "Audio 256". This channel strip stays in solo safe mode so that you can always preview audio. The image below shows the channel strip for a new, empty project.
    If there is no audio channel strip in a project assigned to "Audio 256", Logic will use the highest-numbered available audio channel for pre-listening. When the project is loaded, that channel strip will be put into solo safe mode. You may find this happens in older projects that you open in Logic 8, or in cases where you have deleted the "Audio 256" channel strip in a Logic 8 project. To prevent this from affecting channel strips you are using in a project's arrangement, follow these steps:
    Choose Window > Environment.
    From the Environment window menu, choose New > Channel Strip > Auxiliary. A channel strip will appear in the environment.
    Select the channel strip. It will highlight.
    In the Device parameter box in the upper left of the Environment window, click the arrows to the right of "Channel" and choose Audio > Audio 256 from the menu.
    Select the text tool, click on the name below the channel strip and name it "Prelisten".
