Hi!

I'm trying to get a workflow going between a set and an assistant editor.

Presently Running RedCine-X 158 on set and at the Editing Bay

Downloading DigiMags to external G-Drives on set using my Macbook Pro.

Doing a first light supervised by the DP here on set, saving a Look Preset specific to a bin in the Look Presets tool (option-8)

Saving the Project file.

Sending it to the Assistant editor to create Dailies using a RedRocket Card.

He can't seem to get Project files or ~My~ look presets to open on his computer. Only his look presets show up.

My question is - Where and how can I export Look Presets (combination of curve and image adjustments) to him so he can use the Redrocket to output Dailies for production?

Thank you for your time - I've been poring over the manual, and maybe I'm a moron but I don't get it just yet.:nads:

Although I think I'm Close. PS - I really like the grading tools in Redcine-X Looking forward to clearer implementation of import/export in the future. Michael Cioni sure made it look easy at Red Day.:tongue:

The project file is probably not finding the files you had in your project.

For the look presets, copy the file from userfolder/library/application support/red/redcinex/looks/looks.xml into the same folder on the assistants machine.

There's no way to merge these files yet.

Thank you Very Much!

No prob. We're looking at adding a easy way to send a look to someone else.

Maybe for a quick fix you could add a .RLK import function since the Export look to camera button seems to work well.

I'm sure you guys have a much more robust plan for the future, but for now I'm just zipping my LOOKS.XML file with a timestamp and sending it to the post house.

RLK is specific to the RED one camera look format.

the rsx system of being able to 'attach' each clip's metadata, including the 'look' and put it right in the folder to travel with the master is nice. that's what i'm hoping .rmd becomes. of course with enhanced metadata compared to rsx. whatever deanan's cooking will rock.

and just wait till the 3rd part plugins start popping off. THAT will be crazy.

That's already in build 158 along with fields for notes and other set info.
