REDLINE is a command line tool. A program like clipfinder will access redline as a command line tool to render data.

It's not a software app.

Thanks David, and how to make it available to clipfinder? Just install it?

Clipfinder is being updated currently to use the new REDline. I would expect Hans to release the new version early next week. I assume it will be an update to the paid version (http://www.hamingja.ch), so it is unlikely the free version will be updated to the new REDline.

I would love to know how I can render R3Ds with redline.
I have some corrupted Frames and Deanan said it would be a good workaround, to get them playing: redline, you can render out each frame separately and then convert it to q quicktime in another program like after effects.
But how do I do that?

Awesome!

It's not that hard to use. Just open your terminal (it's in Applications/Utilities) and navigate to the directory it's in (mine was in Downloads/REDline_build_194_mac, so it's just 'cd Downloads/REDline_build_194_mac' (no quotes) but to make that easier you can just use the autocomplete with the tab key. So enter 'cd Dow<tab>/REDl<tab>' and it should do the rest for you. Note that the terminal starts in your home directory).

Just run the program by typing ./REDline to see the options. For example, to transcode to H.264 you use:

./REDline --i ../A001_C001_1125JE.RDC/A001_C001_1125JE_001.r3d --o test --format 11 --QTcodec 2

What do I have to type if I want to render TIFFs?
And what about color settings - are they like shot by default?

[Kim Frank]

I found the options, but he can't find the file.
It's on an external drive.
What doe I have to type to get the path in?

[Deanan]

The path is usually under /Volumes

Try doing this in the terminal to see the drives:
ls /Volumes

Click and drag the file from the finder into the terminal. The terminal will then get the full path of the file and insert it where your cursor is.
