Red giant shooter suite - vhs capture - order of tools

Hello everyone,
I have some VHS captures that I want to improve. While I understand that VHS is an already limited format, I wanted to improve it a bit using the shooter suite tools.
My question is: in what order should I apply instant HD, denoiser 2, and frames? My aim is for turning the content into 1080p 24 frames per second. Also, if any one has any recommended settings, it is greatly appreciated.

I think your aim, 1080P is too high. VHS effectively is around 240 - 280 vertical resolution. Even 720 may be very high already.
Using SSuite 12.6.1 you still can't make up what isn't there to start with. You can somewhat limit the damage, but that is all.
I would start out with Instant 4K, with the quality setting to 20+, then Denoiser 2 or alternatively Neat Video, and finally Frames. You may skip Frames altogether by exporting with the same framerate as your source material, to keep quality loss to the minimum.

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 -

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.

Media Encoder CC // Red Giant Denoiser II

Hello there,
i've got the following Problem: I am having Premiere CC and used the Red Giant Plug-In Denoiser II on my last project, when i import this project to the Media Encoder and select Quicktime for output, the Media Encoder won't render the clip with this Plug-In. i always get the original files out, without the denoiser.
thx

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.

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 Denoiser II not working with certain clips

HI all,
I have a 25 minute wedding video that I have been unsuccessfully trying to export and sign off on nfor the last week and the problem seems to lie with Denoiser II. There were some clips that were corrupted by me using Denoiser on them so I had to take the effect off. However I am also having a problem in that the denoiser effects seems to 'flicker' during clips - ie it works for a second, then stops so noise appears, then works again for a second, then stops etc etc. The footage was shot on a dslr, 24fps. I shot a short film with the same clips and used denoiser a few weeks previously with no problems. The only thing that differs is the amount of other effects I am using with the footage - Colorista II, Mojo and Magic Bullet Looks. Could the problem be that I have too many effects running?
I can't view my footage in Premiere as my computer can't play it due to the effects I have on it so can't comment on whether the problem is happening in playback and export, or just when i export
I have tried exporting in h.264, mpeg etc. I have also tried exporting through Encoder rather than Premiere, again with no difference and am getting so frustrated.
Im on Premiere Pro cc and Windows 8
Any advice would be much appreciated
Thanks!
Tony

Hi Tony,
Make sure you have installed the most recent version of that plug-in. You might also want to contact Red Giant Support: http://www.redgiant.com/support/

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."

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 Hat Cluster Suite without the use of RAC

Hi,
I want to install Oracle 9i/10g database on two nodes in linux redhat AS 3. I want to use Red Hat Cluster Suite for clustering and failover the Oracle db without the use of RAC. Is it possible and would it be sufficient enough ? Does Red Hat Cluster Suite support with Oracle 10g or just 9i ? With Red HAt Cluster Suite, would it require to have one virtual IP ?
Thanks

If you want failover all you need is a dataguard solution and skip out on cluster suite.
If you want Distributed Database then you need RAC.. You can't implement a 9i/10g cluster per say by using an OS solution vs an Oracle solution.
Node A - Primary
Node B - Secondary
Node A -> B (DataGuard redo replication)
Process Management scripts to switch users from A to B and vice versa pending recovery of instances. Cluster suite has no involvement outside of what may be nice nice system management capability.

Premiere CS 5.5 freezes when Red Giant Looks is open.

I am using Premiere CS 5.5 and the program freezes when trying to save while Red Giant Looks is open. I have no clue why and it's very difficult to add and edit the effects when this happens because I have to restart the system. I am running OS 10.7.5 iMac with no external monitor. Please help

OK Here is all the info.
I am working in Premiere Pro Cs 5.5
I am working with a Power Mac Intel Xeon
OS x - Mountain Lion
10 GB RAM
It only freezes sometimes. Most of the time it saves fine.
What do you mean by "System Instability?"
Thanks in advance

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,

Am I missing something ?

Have you changed anything with your system lately?
Have you checked out Red Giant support?

Red Hat Cluster Suite and Oracle RAC

HI Guys,
Our boss will plan to configure Red Hat Cluster Suite to replace to update oracle RAC.
Are there some experienced expert to explain advantage and risk of Red Hat Cluster Suite v Oracle RAC 11.2
Thanks
Jin

Hi,
first of all Red Hat Cluster Suite cannot replace the RAC functionality. RAC is database Red Hat Cluster Suite, just provides clusterware. So all with what you will end up is a plain old failover cluster solution.
So in maximum Red Hat Cluster Suite can replace the Oracle Clusterware. (But not below a RAC, since this is not supported and even with integration with other clusterware Oracle Clusterware will still be there).
So what he will end up is also replacing RAC with single instance databases in a failover cluster solution, and with this will decrease a lot of RAC capabilities:
=> Rolling Upgrade (OS / Clusterware and some database patches)
=> Storage migration/consolidation
=> Fast failover (30 seconds vs. minutes).
See www.oracle.com and you will find whitepapers with differences between failover clusters and RAC.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/failover-cluster-134770.pdf
But even if there are other justifications to reduce availablity (which actually can only be costs), I still wonder, why he wants to replace Oracle Clusterware - the clusterware shipped with Oracle is far more mature than the one from the Red Hat cluster Suite.
And there is no better integration for Oracle databases in clusterware than what Oracle clusterware can provide.
Even more so, OCW is a full capable clusterware and you can build your own failover cluster solution for free.
The same would have to be done if he replaces it with redhat cluster.
PS: If someone is providing failover scripts for Oracle in Redhat clusters, it will be Redhat (but I think you have to write them yourself).
Regards
Sebastian
