MEDIA COMPOSER HOW TO GET TO REDCINE X

[Paul Harding]

I have imported my red one footage via AMA completed the edit and i want to send the edited Red footage to Redcine x for first light and transcode.
EDL's are coming out blank
Filmscribe wont save.
Any thoughts how to do this

Media composer 6 trial version MacPro
Thanks

I think you should have started in REDCineX first.
I have to dig up the old tutorials to prove this.

[Paul Harding]

My thinking was that to save transcoding all my Red footage I would import it into Avid which supports Red Files, I thought I would be able to output the edit to recine which would need less transcoding rather than transcode the whole shoot.

Just read the thread, as a new user on Avid it seems complicated.
Thanks

IS it possible to generate an EDL for redcineX from MC 6?

[Brad Hawkins]

Are you using "File_16" for your EDL type?

In MC6 I brought in a few clips via AMA, trimmed and exported an EDL using File_16, imported that in RedCine X (as CML 3600) and it brought in all my clips. You also have to remember to choose your R3D master directory on import.

I'm still experimenting, so don't hold me to this but it seems that when importing in RedCine X you can choose the "Destination" for the import, if you choose "Active Bin", your shots will be loose in the bin, if you choose "Timeline" it'll rebuild your Avid sequence.

[Paul Harding]

Thanks sounds great I will try it now.

Are you using get sequence

What other settings have you got in EDL?

[Brad Hawkins]

I just set it to File_16 and clicked get sequence (with the sequence open and highlighted in MC).

I'll attach a screen cap for you, in case that helps.

[Brad Hawkins]

Here's a better view of the settings...

[Paul Harding]

Thanks Brad I am pulling my hair out here at the moment been trying all day to get the import I try the settings now

[Paul Harding]

Still no luck the console comes full of errors or just a blank EDL

How do you attach a jpeg here when I click on insert image it asks for a URL

I used the "manage attachments" under additional options.

[Brad Hawkins]

Just another thought... You are using AMA on the r3d files right? Not the proxies.

[Paul Harding]

Yes AMA as i am running out of time I will rebuild the edit in PPro that edl does work for me,

[Brad Hawkins]

Sorry I couldn't help you figure it out, best of luck!

[Paul Harding]

Thanks

[Paul Harding]

Thanks Roger there seems to be little help on Avid for what Im looking for

EDL should generate just fine unless there are really no values in the START timecode column. If you want to send me a bin with the sequence in it, I can take a look at it.
