Red Footage imports with heavy yellow cast

Good day all,
I am looking to import and work with some Red footage that I shot with a Red camera. I have installed Redcode, and Redcine. Am using CS 4.2.1, and even installed After Effects 9.0.3 to make sure that all drivers and whatnot that come with that are available.
So with all of that, when I import Red footage, it comes up with a sever yellow cast. However, when i look at the same R3D files through redcine, it is fine, needs some tweaking, but fine overall.
What am i missing?

I dont know what to say except what Jim already said to get what you really want... and even then I would look at the new Avid thing and the peripherals it supports ( and color grading etc ) on a mac ( so you can use import and export prores )
videoguys has some good info about the new avid thing ( 6 ? ) and whats supported etc. re: peripherals.
The only good thing about PPro right now IMO is photoshop and after effects and that sort of "suite " handling of stuff. In a perfect world you would have EVERYTHING... more than one platform to work from ( pc mac ) and more than one editing program etc.
redcine x is gonna give you your export ( probably mov animation for your ppro version ? ) and now you're already dealing with stupid color spaces that dont match and so on... so it doesnt matter what you do in redcinex really.
Upgrade to ppro 5.5 and deal with that ... direct from files and bypassing redcine... see how it works. Or find frames to find a white balance that works OK in PPro version you have. A lot of work ...cause you'll have to make cuts probably to fine tune.
Sorry.. is the way it is. FCP handled it better as prores.. but that program has bit the dust lately too... leaving you with this (newest version, not your version ) or avid now or the older version fcp. Part of what you're dealing with is the 32bit and newer 64bit stuff... not to mention a ton of other things.
good luck

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

Pro9000 Prints with Heavy Blue Cast

Hello all!
I have several Canon Pro9000 and Pro9000 Mark II printers. The Pro9000 Mark II printers are doing great. However, the Pro9000 printer is printing photos with a heavy blue cast to them. The blue is so heavy and so bad that any photo printed with it is destroyed.
I have tried printing both from Photoshop and from other programs, including straight from Window's photo viewer. When printing from Photoshop, I have tried both letting Photoshop manage colors and the printer manage colors. When Photoshop is managing colors, I've turn color management off for the printer (set it to None). I've made sure I have the proper paper selected, etc. It does not matter what I do, the Pro9000 still prints with a heavy blue cast.
I've tried switching from Auto to Manual in an attempt to reduce the blue. But even if I have the first slider (labeled Cyan) slid all the way to the red side and the third slider (labeled Yellow) slid all the way over to yellow, I am still getting a heavy blue, but now the images are too red and too yellow, etc.
What can I do to figure out what is going on with this printer? It used to print properly, so I am not sure what changed. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
PS - I am running Windows 8.1, 64-bit.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I don't have any 9500's. I have two Pro9000's and four Pro9000 Mark II's. The Mark II's all print fine from the same computer(s). Both of the Pro9000's (non-Mark II) are printing with the heavy blue tint.
The monitor being right should not be an issue here. After all, what I see is what I get with the Pro9000 Mark II's.
I've tried both letting Photoshop handle all the color profiling and letting the printer do it. I get the same blue tinting. Just FYI - I cannot always use Photoshop to print. I do event photos where I am using a Hot Folder for printing. In cases like this, Photoshop is not even running. That's when I need the printer to handle color profiling (the hot folder software I currently use has not control over this). Again, this works fine with the Pro9000 Mark II's.
I've played with numerous settings and nothing is removing the blue tinting. I thought it might be the print heads, but the check nozzle pattern looks like it is printing just fine. This is why I am confused.

What is causing all of my Images to import with a blue cast?

All of my images are now importing into Lightroom3 and Photoshop CS5 with a blue cast. I have reformatted the SD card, tried with other SD cards, re-calibrated my monitor with X-Rite colorometer, changed monitors, tried with another camera, changed card readers. The images appear as shot in Bridge, but when opened they come in with the blue cast. The same images import properly on my laptop. I'm shooting sRGB in camera and have tried a number of different shots, so artificail lighting is not the issue. All images that are already on my hard drive import properly. I was working in LR when this occurred, so, I think I must have inadvertently mades some alteration to the settings while working in LR. However, opening PS separately and bringing an image in independent of Lightroom has the same result. Images appear as shot in Adobe Bridge, then open with the blue cast. Thanks for any assistance.

Curt Y:
Thanks. In camera I still shoot DNG and I shoot nothing but RAW. Is there something in LR and/or PS that I have done to make that change, and if so, how would I correct that. I feel pretty sure it is something I did while importing into LR on my desktop, since I can open the images on the Laptop without any trouble.

Jpegs on websites are coming up with a yellow cast. Anyone else?

That can be caused by a problem with the color profile for your display monitor or color profiles embedded in images.<br />
You can disable color management to test that.<br />
You can set the pref gfx.color_management.mode to 0 on the about:config page to disable Color Management.<br />
You need to close and restart Firefox to make the change effective.<br />

I also try converting from MP4 to DV. Cannot import the .DV either.
Can someone help me?

Could it be the case that you have "proxy media" selected in the preferences (under Final Cut Pro -> Preferences, click on "Playback" and see which is selected, proxy or optimized), BUT you are not creating proxy media when importing?
If that is the case, either
- switch to "original/optimized media",
or
- create the proxy media (control-click the clip(s) in the event browser, choose "Transcode media" e check the box for "create proxy media").

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.

Yellow Cast to HVX200 Footage in FCP - but fine on NTSC Monitor

Dear Folks:
I am shooting two cameras with an HVX200 and an HMC150 in a room where the only light source is daylight-bulbed Kinoflos. The lights are fixed, as it the set. Nothing changes. There are no windows.
I have two NTSC monitors, both set to camera bars.
I use manual white balance. I use a big white card (a foamcore board).
The first day, the image looked perfectly white balanced on the NTSC monitors. We ingested the footage through Final Cut Pro. It matched the look we saw on the NTSC monitors on several macs.
The second day, however, the image had a YELLOW cast to it when ingested via Log and Transfer.
Why would it look clean and white on the NTSC monitors and yellow on various macs?
Thanks!

First off, are you saying there is a difference between Day One and Day Two...? or...
Just a difference between NTSC and mac display?
Are there any common values in the days that can be sampled and compared numerically? For example some thing "white" in day one is R=235, G=235, B=235 and on day two is R=235, G=235, B=190?
Two other things off the top of my head might be the white balance went away overnight (if you didn't balance again on the second day), or one of your kinos went "sour".
Not likely but you may be getting a subtractive dynamic contrast in the shadows?
Or, more likely, there is a white point difference between the NTSC monitors and the macs. Generally speaking, most macs set for broadcast-emulation sit around D65, while many, many ntsc monitors can range from D65 all the way up to about 9500, which is VERY blue, but your eye-brain adapts to that and then it becomes a VERY bright "white".... against which everything else will look yellow.

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.

I have a Time Capsule on which I back up 2 MacBooks and on my wife's machine she keeps having Airport Utility popping up all the time with a yellow button flashing on the left and a Red button on the right side with a "1" in the middle of it.

I have a Time Capsule on which I back up 2 MacBooks and on my wife's machine she keeps having Airport Utility popping up all the time with a yellow button flashing on the left and a Red button on the right side with a "1" in the middle of it. Can any one tell me what is wrong. I read where when the yellow light was flashing there was a problem, but I am a novice at this and have no idea where to turn. It seems to be backing up on a regular basis.

On the Mac......
Open up Macintosh HD > Applicatons > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the small window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
Change the setting for Router Mode from the current DHCP and NAT to read Off (Bridge Mode), then click Update at the lower right of the window, and wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a green light.
Then.....very important
Power off the Time Capsule and your Arris modem/router for a few minutes
Start up the Arris first, and let it run a few minutes by itself
Start up the Time Capsule next the same way
Your network will now be correct, and your printing capabilities will improve.
If Time Machine backups do not occur now, post back and we will tackle that next.

Pr cs5 is not good,import 3k or 4k "Red" footage,crash or fail!

Pr cs5 is not good,import 3k or 4k "Red" footage,crash or fail! only support 2k footage...HELP!
In Pr cs4 ,install RED ADOBE CS4 plugin,such as 2k/3k/4k "red"cut footage is no problem..

1.2?
- you shouldn't expect to be able to open a CS5 project with CS4; maybe it will happen, but often something will not function correctly
- PPro 1.5 is quite old, say 7-8 years, and things have changed quite a bit. CS5 supports converting projects from CS4 and CS3, but we make no guarantee at all about any previous versions. If you have CS3, you should be able to open your 1.5 project and save it as a CS3 project, which CS5 would then open. Even that has its own risks.

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.

How to Recover a Dark Picture with a Heavy Color Cast

I just posted this article about how to recover a dark picture with a heavy
color cast using Lab Color mode in Photoshop. I hope it will be helpful to
others.

None taken. I am unfamiliar with ACR and would love to see (compare) what it
could do with the sample PNG file in the article, and how much time it took.
The results I achieved in the article took only a few minutes to
complete--though as I mention below, it took more than a few minutes to get
to the point where I could do it in a few minutes.
I happened across a web site one day discussing the techniques in Margulis'
LAB Color book, which interested me enough to purchase it. I found the book
very enlightening and have seen incredible results using the techniques he
describes as applied to my various images. I've also ready his Professional
Photoshop book which focuses more on CMYK, and found many techniques in
there just as enlightening.
Ultimately the tools and techniques used are irrelevant if you get the
results you want... but if you find one that works faster, easier or better,
then certainly you should employ it.
I have no problem working in RGB, CMYK or LAB and find benefits from each.
The particular sample image I used in the article was one that I've spent
(too much) time cleaning up in various ways and in various color spaces (or
combinations thereof). It became my "poster child" image to work on as I
continue to build my Photoshop skills. The approach I used in the article
was the one I found most to be the fasted with the most effective results.
The original was a 6MP JPG file. I reduced it to the size in the article and
then worked on that size for the remaineder of the article. The resutls are
equivelant in the fullsize file.
