Hi,

Sorry if this has been brought up already, i did a search, and I didn't really find the exact answer.

I know we'll probably be a while away before every decent editing suite out there supports R3D natively.

Is it possible to use RedCine as an offline Editor, and then export to whatever format you want *WITH* a universal readable EDL With it?

To me, I'd find this very useful, as I don't seem to many dedicated offline editors out there anymore. There's SpeedEdit, but not many people use that I think.

But for uses, it'd be great to have RedCine as an offline editor, for those productions where the producers/directors likes to have an editor on set to do some realtime. The end of the day, the editor can output the files with an EDL. Then it can be used offsite to continue/tweak the offline edit.

OR

offline edit with RedCine, and then output to 10-Bit log DPX with EDL and do an online with Lustre, Baselight or other Log colour grading/onlining program.

As far as I know, the red doesn't record audio yet, so it's pretty much impossible to offline edit without audio...

Off topic:

Oh yeah, what's the difference between RedAlert and RedCine? I see that redAlert is only for MAC, and the descriptions pretty much sound the same for the two.

Any chance of 64bit support in the future? I just tried it on Vista x64, and just got a frozen screen. Oh well. I think we're at that stage now where 64bit programs can't be ignored anymore, with cheap hard drives, and 8gigs of ram for $300 or less. XP 32bit is very limiting with only 2TB total hard drive support, and 3gb RAM limit.
