Crimson scale and offset

[Geoff Bailey]

I posted this over on Ian's site, but thought maybe someone over here could help:

I'm exporting a sequence from Final Cut. It has several clips that have been scaled up and recentered.

I was under the impression that Crimson could transfer that info over to Redcine. But when I bring the xml into Crimson, all the clips show up in the "Frame" menu as 100% scale. And when they come into Redcine they all come in at 4K. I can size them down (master at 1080p), but then I have to do the scaled clips manually.

Am I missing something? FCP 6.0.2, Crimson 0.9.4, Redcine 3.1.2

Thanks.

Crimson just transfers which clips or which part of them you used, no effects or geometry changes. You need to go the FCS route to achieve that.

No way to get that information into Redcine. So current version of Crimson skips it.

Stay tuned however.

What is the current situation with dissolves and speeds, do I need to remove them perior to the creation of the xml for crimson, or can crimson account for them and give the full needed shot in redcine?

[I Bloom]

Yes,

Crimson is good with crossfades and knows the proper in/out points for rendered footage.

Thanks Ian,

what about speed changes?

[I Bloom]

Thanks Ian,

what about speed changes?

Speed changes are another issue as the in and out points are referencing a rendered file. The only solution right now is to leave speed changes until after you conform or render complete takes of every file.
