Red Rocket not used by AME

Hi,
I am currently unable to get my Red Rocket working in AME.
I'm doing a RED R3D to Jpeg2000 transcode, and in Premiere I get around 2.3 frames/second, with all cores running around 50%.
In AME, all cores are maxed at 100%, but I only get around 1 frame/second. I conclude from this that my Rocket is not running in AME.
I'm using the fnordware j2k jpeg200 compressor.
I've made sure that neither Premiere nor RedCineX have control of my card - I launch AME stand alone.
I've checked the "source settings" of my clip have "Use all available" for the Rocket.
Have reinstalled the most recent ImporterRED.prm and ImporterREDserver.exe files.
I have Windows 7 64bit, AME CS6 6.0.3.1, latest Red drivers etc.
Not sure what to check next. REALLY need to get this working, as I have 21 hours of footage separated into 300-400 files to get through over the next few days. I need AME accelerated.
ANY ideas appreciated.
Matt

For now, you don't. This is a limitation that requires us to add a feature that allows the headless version of Premiere Pro and AME to cooperate in the use of the Rocket.

After Effects not recognizing Red Rocket?

Hi everyone,
I'm having serious troubles with a Red Rocket in AE CS6. Nothing I have done will get AE to recognize the rocket. Premiere seems to recognize it and use it just fine.
The card is clearly installed correctly; it works in Red Cine X and Premiere, giving realtime performance with 4k footage @ 29.97 fps, with minimal processor load (~7%). If I force AE to try to use the card with Interpret Footage > Main > More Options... > Use Rocket, the system slows to a crawl and fails to perform at all. (It may take 10-30 seconds to update when the cursor is moved in the timeline.)
It does not appear to be simply that the red rocket card is not being released by another program -- at least, when I restart the system and open After Effects first, the symptoms are identical.
The rocket is on the latest firmware -- 1.4.27, I believe. I have done everything possible to confirm that the card is not the problem, including opening a support ticket with Red and sending the physical unit back to them for testing.
I have tried replacing the ImporterREDServer.exe and ImporterRED.prm with the Adobe Labs version from May/June 2012, that appears to have no effect.
I'm running Windows 7 on a dual 8-core Xeon system with 128 GB of RAM. There are also two GTX 680 graphics cards, one on each processor bus, installed in the system. I'm running the latest, updated versions of Creative Suite CS6, and there is no antivirus or firewall installed or running.
Thoughts? Directions? Things to test? Or should I junk the card or the workflow? I'm pretty committed to Adobe After Effects at the moment, though this experience has me strongly considering Smoke, Nuke, or something else for the future (the switching costs are high).
Thanks all,
-Ryan

In case anyone else ends up here:
It appears the best performance I can get in AE CS6 is about 6 fps at full quality. I think this qualifies as 'working' -- it's only 4 fps when I'm not using the card, and processor load is higher. At least it's stable now.
The fix was: reinstalling AE, reinstalling all Nvidia drivers, and shuffling the cards into different PCI slots. Not sure which made a difference. Also, moderating my expectations about what a red rocket could do in AE -- I've read that recent machines only see a performance gain while rendering, and everyone is turning them off during compositing work.

New OSX not does not work with RED Rocket Card and old OSX Randomly Logs Out - UNSTABLE

It looks like my MBPR 16GB (MacBook Pro) randomly logs out and causes my programs to quit unsaved. I can not update to the new OSX mountain Lion because the new Apple release is no longer compatible with the RED Rocket card needed for debaying RED Scarlet footage. Mountain Lion causes the RED Rocket to not run correctly with Adobe Premiere.
At the same time, I am on Lion and my computer randomly logs me out and I lose all my work. It seems as though the Retina is unstable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Can someone tell me how I can return this. It seems as though I may have to switch the entire company over to PC if this is not figured out soon.

You probably have not received responses for two reasons.
1. There are not many here that know what this is "RED Rocket card needed for debaying RED Scarlet footage"
2. Your post appears to contain some sort of threat to Apple about moving to PCs. You are not addressing Apple here. We are users just like you. We don't care if you change over to PCs.
MBPs and Lion are very stable. Maybe your unsupported third party Red card is causing issues. Their answer seems to be that Mountain Lion is not supported. I wonder why?
My suggestion if this is a business environment is to not mess with this. If you know for a fact that your Red card works with PCs, change over to PCs. I know that if some tool was not working for my business I would not hesitate to get something that worked.

Red Rocket playback issues using transitions

Hi,
the title says it all.
Playback is smooth when I use the Red Rocket with Full Res. though when I use any kind of transition on the clips, playback stutters and is no longer in realtime.
When I deactivate the Rocket and just use my 4GB 670GTX at half res I've no problems.
I'm using CS6 and wonder if this problem is still in CC.
If this problem stays with CC I'm thinking of selling the rocket and invest in some better GrapicCard like the Titan.
System is:
Core i7
16BG RAM
OS on SSD
RAID 0 for Data
Nvidia 670GTX 4GB RAM

First question is what dedicated internal SATA media drive you are playing the footage from?
Also, still pretty windy in Spokane.

Adobe Prelude - Red Rocket Support

Hi everyone,
My company and I are trying to implement Prelude into our workflow. Primarily, we shoot w/ a Red Epic and currently are experimenting w/ batch transcoding camera rolls through Prelude using the Adobe Media Encoder dynamic link.
The question I have is this: can Media Encoder take advantage of our current G5 tower's Red Rocket card to speed up the transcoding process, and if so, how do I select it (i.e., if available, where in Prelude/Media Encoder's interface can I find this feature?)
I know this type of question has been asked before--specifically,
here: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?66229-Should-Adobe-Media-Encoder-be-using-Red- Rocket and
here: Re: How to turn over RedRocket Control to AME from Premier?
..but no true answer has been given regarding this specific workflow.
I know Red Rocket acceleration is possible in Premiere (and that the Red Rocket card can work w/ only one program at a time)--but what about batch transcoding R3D's in Prelude through Media Encoder. I'd prefer to not use RED-CINE X as we're interested in using all of the XMP metadata features in Prelude.
For reference, the machine I'm running is the following:
MAC OS X Version 10.9.4
Processor: 2X2.26 Ghz Quad--Core Xeon
Memory: 32 GB 1066 Mhz DDR3
Mac Pro Era Early 2009
Red Rocket Card (firmware 1.1.17.3)
Adobe Creative Suite CC 2014
If anyone could advice, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
John

Yes, you can use the Red Rocket to speed up encoding in AME, but it probably won't do you much good in your specific case I'm afraid. Here's how the workflow would go:
1. Select RED files for ingest in Prelude
2. Specify destination location and preset
3. Start the batch
4. Once AME is open, stop the queue that has started automatically
5. Right-click on a job and choose "Source Settings"
6. Enable the Red Rocket
7. Go to step 5 and repeat for each job in the queue
As you can see that would be a lot of work for what may be minimal gain depending on how long it takes to encode the media with the Red Rocket turned off. Where this workflow really excels is when the source in AME is a longer form sequence such as a Prelude rough cut or a Premiere Pro sequence. I could certainly see adding a global option to always enable the Red Rocket for RED sources, but that would be a feature request, which you can submit here: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
I hope this helps even if it isn't exactly what you were probably hoping to here.

RED ROCKET & MOTION 4

Has anybody seen one of these:
http://www.red.com/store/100-0012
I wonder if it would speed Motion up to any great degree?

They aren't DVI ports, they're DMS-59 plugs. They go to two breakout cables included with the Red Rocket that give you 4 dual-lnk DVI outputs for realtime playback of Red R3D files to a 4K monitor or projector. It also comes with an HD-SDI breakout plate if you want to use BNC instead.
Again, it's not a video card, its specialized hardware decoder made by DVS, a company who specializes in high-end video processing. OpenGL is a great technology, but it's origin stems from the need to generate three-dimensional scenes in realtime, with an emphasis on instantaneous perceived quality, i.e video games and simulations. The Red Rocket is centered around a process called debayering, which is totally different.

RED Rocket Card

Is the RED Rocket Card necessary to edit RED footage in Premiere CC? I downloaded some test clips (that I believe are straight from the camera) and it wasn't as smooth as DSLR video, but it was smooth enough that I could work with it at 1/8 resolution without interruption.
I have a client that wants to use a RED camera on a project and I just want to make sure I'm prepared for it.
Win 7 Pro, 64-bit
i7-4770
GTX 660 Ti
16GB ram
Thanks,
JB

No the Red Rocket card is not required but currently takes an enormous load off the CPU allowing more complex editing and playback realtime without rendering the timeline. I would recommend it if you have a consistent Red workflow. If not then you can likely do without. The project will just take longer.

Media Encoder CC not using GPU acceleration for After Effects CC raytrace comp

I created a simple scene in After Effects that's using the raytracer engine... I also have GPU enabled in the raytracer settings for After Effects.
When I render the scene in After Effects using the built-in Render Queue, it only takes 10 minutes to render the scene.
But when I export the scene to Adobe Media Encoder, it indicates it will take 13 hours to render the same scene.
So clearly After Effects is using GPU accelleration but for some reason Media Encoder is not.
I should also point out that my GeForce GTX 660 Ti card isn't officially supported and I had to manually add it into the list of supported cards in:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC\Support Files\raytracer_supported_cards.txt
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CC\cuda_supported_cards.txt
While it's not officially supported, it's weird that After Effects has no problem with it yet Adobe Media Encoder does...
I also updated After Effects to 12.1 and AME to 7.1 as well as set AME settings to use CUDA but it didn't make a difference.
Any ideas?

That is normal behavior.
The "headless" version of After Effects that is called to render frames for Adobe Media Encoder (or for Premiere Pro) using Dynamic Link does not use the GPU for acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer.
If you are rendering heavy compositions that require GPU processing and/or the Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing, then the recommended workflow is to render and export a losslessly encoded master file from After Effects and have Adobe Media Encoder pick that up from a watch folder to encode into your various delivery formats.

Problem in mapping while using Do not Use SOAP Envelope

Hi All,
This is wrt my thread 'Removing and adding SOAP Envelope'
I am currently working on SOAP-XI-Proxy Scenario.
For some un avoiadable reason, I had to use the option 'DO not use SOAP Envelope' .So the SOAP Envelope came withen the payload and in the pipeline, I can see the payload prefixed by '<?xml version="1.0" ?>' .
Now my payload looks like
<?xml version="1.0" ?> ( no more the encoding="utf-8" notation is there)
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
   xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soapenv:Body>
<Complaint_Request xmlns="urn:******createserviceticket">
<CaseNo>12345</CaseNo>
<CustomerNo>12345</CustomerNo>
</Complaint_Request>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
To accomodate the change, I also changed my request structure as
<Complaint_Request> (My new message Type)
    <Envelope>
     <Body>
       <Complaint_Request> (My previous message Type)
        <caseNo>
        <CustomerNo>
But I am facing problem in mapping the values to the target structure (which is a flat structure),
as the payload doesnot start with ' ns1: ' notation any more . Even XSLT mapping is not working.
When I am pasting the payload in the Testing Mapping Editor, the Source Node are correctly
formed, but all come in RED . But as the root node , ie 'ns0' is not there, the value
from child nodes are not getting mapped to the target fields.
Regards,
Subhendu

Hi Joel,
SAP says, when we use the option 'DO Not Use SOAP Envelope', the payload also contains the SOAP
Envelope. So it is obvious that the payload wont start with 'ns0' notation.
So I am searching for a solution, when we use that option.

Subhendu

HELP: Premiere Pro CC not using all CPU and RAM during rendering and export

Hello,
I am using Premiere Pro CC on a Windows 7. My timeline is quite simple with two videos, one with the movie (mpeg) and the other with the subtitles (avi).
When I render the sequence in PP or export, the rendering time is way too slow and it only uses around 15-20% of the CPU and 3 GB of RAM.
My hardware config is :
- CPU : i7-4770k 3.50Ghz
- RAM : 8 GB
- Disk : 2 x 3 TB SATA (no raid)
RAM is not the bottleneck, neither the disk access.
I have tried rendering and exporting the same project on an iMac (with an i5 2.7 Ghz and 4 GB RAM and only 1 disk) and the result is 4x faster !!!
The CPU usage is close to 100% as well as RAM usage.
So how come PP uses all resources availble on an iMac and not on a Windows 7 ?
Is there any known bug or software bottleneck on Windows 7 ?
My machine is brand new and nothing much installed besides Adobe products.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,

I just rendered out a a 2 minute sequence with about 100 clips in it and Colorista effects on everything to the Vimeo 1080 H264 preset. It took about 5 minutes to render straight from Premiere, it used all the recourses it could, my CPU was running at near %100, same with my ram and GPU, I was happy.
Then I did another render with Red Giant Denoiser and it now wants to take 30 mins and it is only using about %20 of the recourses available. My problem isn't that its taking longer with Denoiser but that its not using all of my computers CPU and GPU.
Im rendering at maximum render quality and bit dept to H264 (Im happy to wait the extra time), if I try to use VRB 2 it encodes 1 pass at a time and wants to take up to 40 minutes.
I would appreciate some advice on this.

To free up disk space, Outlook Express can compact messages. This may take up to a few minutes.

If you are referring to this, then I do recommend using the last option listed in it. The reason for this is that I do not have a Windows XP system with Outlook express installed to test this with. The first option's syntax, order of the command, doesn't look proper to me and I can't verify if it is correct or not. I do know that the second option is valid for a Windows OS.

Why does Photoshop Elements 10 print dark and red, and not match the computer screen?

I switched from Photoshop Elements 7 to Photoshop Elements 10. I cannot get a print of a photo that matches the screen. Photos are dark and red. I cannot edit the photos because I do not know what will print out. I have switched back to Photoshop 7 and my photos print fine, just as they have been edited. I have spent hours on the Chat line with Adobe. They have yet to help me resolve this problem. Does anyone else have this problem or know what to do? Adobe sure doesn't. I feel I have wasted money and am afraid to ever upgrade again.

If you are using Photoshop Elements Editor for printing then make sure you have handled the color management of PSE correctly.
There are two different scenario available in PSE to handle color management.
Scenario 1 (When printer manages color). If you're known and familiar to your printer profile, the type of paper you are using and if you have any other customization done for your printer profile then in this case please select Printer Manages Color in Color Handling drop down under color management of PSE.
To achieve this, follow these following steps.
1. Launch Print dialog.
2. Click on "More Options..." button.
3. Now select Color management.
4. Here you can see the Color Handling drop down. Please select Printer Manages Color.
Note:- Use this scenario when you are sure a about your printer profile and settings.
Scenario 2 (When Photoshop Elements handle color). In case you want PSE to handle all color management then please select Photoshop Elements Manages Color in Color Handling drop down. Then select the same printer profile as Image space.
Note:- If you are using this option, make sure the color management of your Printer is off.
Hope this will help you.
