Can someone transcode the 2K crossing the line?

[laguun]

Dear Redgang, fellow Redusers,

could someone post the 2k version viewable on OSX / Windows without FCS2? Having a 2K version would be quite helpful in luring some directors to the IBC - and none of the discreet, avid, adobe, sony and even the osx fcs1 here can´t neither playback nor transcode the file here.

Nothing against prores - however for delivery & distribution its not an good choice when offered alone. Even apple itself doesn´t offer their trailers in prores.

[Mr. Paul White]

And PC? I mean the slowest machines.

[Zach Nelson]

I don't care what the codec is, just something playable on the PC .. please :)

[Paul Hazlett]

Quicktime for windows will play the file, but you need to download the lastest
version and you can do it without Itunes if you like

[donatello b]

"Quicktime for windows will play the file,"

i don't think it will play on a PC - the file is using the Mac ProRes codec and it is not available on PC's ...

[Zach Nelson]

exactly.. it's a prores problem

it doesn´t even play under OSX.

you need to have FCS2.

The 2k version?

[Justin Kirchhoff]

No.......there isn't a 2k version released yet.....atleast, not that I know of.

Sorry, i misinterpreted your original post.

[Paul Hazlett]

the latest is the 2k trailer, I can transcode but whats the point? it will be a heavy compression and not much better then the 1k I imagine. but if Jeff is willing to host I can transcode it.

Did they fix the gamma glitches in the 2K version?

Jan (laguun) has been of the most valuable RED reservation holders (including myself :) I'm sorry but Jim :glare: knows very well about what I'm referring to). He has been on cinematography.com fighting alone (or almost) against adverse hurricanes.

If he wouldn't deserve a RED ONE unit for free, at least this 2K version transcoded to PC side 'cause it will target a wider audience.

:poster_oops: What a sacrilege! :wink:

[Jeff Kilgroe]

This "2K" version we keep talking about is actually 1920x1080p 24fps...

The tease: I have it encoded to 10.3Mbps(avg) H.264 and it plays beautifully in a HD-DVD player. :whistling: It's not as wonderful as the ProRes original, but it's pretty darn good.

The catch:
If Jarred says it's OK, I'll post it.

Hi Emanuel,

I have not seen you fighting there for a long time!

CTL_Trailer.mov>>File error>>The file is not a movie file. It can't be open in the newest QT 7.2 or FCP 6.0.1 on my MacPro 8-core workstation. Actually it is not ProRes QT file.
Need a help!!!

[Emanuel A.]

Hi Emanuel,

I have not seen you fighting there for a long time!

StephenYes indeed. I left the towel on the floor. But RED didn't need me. Besides, it's impossible to have an open discussion when you know very well what motivates the other party or parties.

I dislike low feelings (little ones actually) like envy. «This guy is rich, has an airplane, all life long sold sun glasses so it is (not he is) a view to a kill».

Maybe I had felt the same when with a law degree, postgraduate studies in media and copyright law plus a master in film production beyond my career at the university and as producer on the national TV, I went to the film school for a BFA in filmmaking with a major in directing and a minor in editing during 4 years. Maybe.

Hi Stephen,

its not a fight. Never was.

Main purpose of my constant replies there is, that people, who have no deeper knowledge regarding red, don´t get confused by the aggressive or offensive negative comments of some few posters there.

Some of the folks over there, as R.B., meanwhile changed their attitude and ordered.

As one can see in this particular thread, criticism and demands can be presented in a polite manner.

Would it be cinematography.coms red-subforum, some of the usual suspects would rather have started this thread writing: *CAPSLOCK ON* "Its obvious that these *insert four-letter-words* redheads only can write *insert more four letter words* apple, and redcode isn´t working! obvious!*

And when such statements are presented en masse, less informed readers might come to the wrong conclusion that there would be some truth about it.

Besides, c.com is a valuable source, sadly the red subforum there is the exception to this rule. Lets hope that changes once the 4,5 offensive posters are using red.

thank you.
i would prefer not to show all my clients the 1k version with black frames.

[Emanuel A.]

Sorry my semantics Jan! My fault. I've appreciated your posts wherever they take place especially this last part. :weight_lift:

..left the towel on the floor.. did you?..

[Jannard]

We are very protective of how Peter's footage gets shown. We prefer that no one posts their own downrez of this material. Thanks for respecting the copyright.

I'll get Jarred to do an H.264 and post it as soon as he can find some free time.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

That settles that, then...

Thanks, Jim.
