[Brent@RED]

This has been released on www.red.com/support.

Thanks, BC

[Charles Perkins]

it wont let me install it.

it says that i already have a newer version installed. but i dont, as i dont have red alert installed at all atm.

edit: running 10.5 on late 2007 8 core mac pro

[Anders Holck]

Same here. Just download Pacifist, it will enable you to install anyways....

[Anders Holck]

Or go to /library/Receipts/ and remove all previous REDAlert bundles. Then run the installer again.

[Kjetil Haugen]

I don't get it. Renders at least 3 times slower than before.... on my macbook pro.

Edit: Thought I was rendering a 2k clip. My mistake. Same render times...

[RedDog444]

I'm getting the same error reported here. The installer says I have a newer version of RedAlert already installed. I deleted the old one and even restarted.:unsure:

[Anders Holck]

did you delete the receipts?

[Gregor Hagey]

did you delete the receipts?

I had the same problem until I deleted the old receipt and quit and reopened the installer. Thanks for the tip Anders.

[Mark Pedersen]

sounds like the installer needs an update.;0

[Rainer Fritz]

Will it please possible to add the uncompressed 4:2:2 QT codec for redline?

[Visceral_IvaN]

The new version of RED ALERT! crashes as soon as I load an R3D!

[RedDog444]

Yes, deleting the receipt does the trick. Thanks guys!

[Deanan]

The wrong one went up on the website. A new one will be up there soon.

Ivan, can you check if the previous version loads your R3D?

[Deanan]

Look for it in v1.54.

[Anders Holck]

Ahh, a zoom function in the main view would be soooo nice... maybe just 1:1, and fit to window:-)
Setting the sharpness and NR seems pretty much guesswork at the time.

:-)

[Andrew M.]

You can zoom main view to 1:1 or whatever you want, go to help function for explanation.

[Brent@RED]

RED Alert! v1.5.4 has been posted on RED.com.

Are you thinking of RedCine?

[Evin Grant]

RedAlert is crashing as soon as I try to render a Prores HQ QT out. Any thoughts?

8 Core 3.0Ghz, 10.5.2, QT 7.4.1

Yes, sorry my mistake.

Try deleting the prefs in system HD / library / application support/redalert.

Also try redline and see if that's ok.

Does it crash at any particular frame?

[Uli Plank]

The current beta (1.5.4) is crashing whenever I try to open a 4K file. Works fine with 2K. No, I don't have QT 7.4 and yes, I tried trashing the prefs.

Any idea?

[Rainer Fritz]

does somebody has a good tip for a terminal program? If I copy paste some commands into redline via standard terminal works only a short time good. Need a terminal software which is sending a command into the mac and waiting, then the next and so on. Direct copy paste is too fast....

any idea ?

for mac osx 10.5.2

thx

If you're doing a large number files, then it's best to paste the all into a text file (ie. commands.txt) and then do "source commands.txt" in the shell.

Are you doing 4K 16:9?

[Rainer Fritz]

thx a lot deanan. the source command is great..... and its rendering really nice.... i love scripting and redline :)

[Evin Grant]

OK I kind of get the whole Redline conceptually but how exactly do I do a RedAlert! batch in this way? I get that I create the setting in RedAlert! and then copy the settings into a .txt file that the Terminal can now open. So where do I specify the .R3ds I'd like to process and where do the final QTs/DPXs end up?

If you can't already tell I'm new to this command line thing.

[Deanan]

The R3D input filename and the output filename are set in the Render window before you copy the commandline.

Or... wait a few days and something better will come along.

Brent,

I am running with RED ALERT 1.5.3a When i try to make QT proxies using RED ALERT, the audio is not available. Is it a bug?

[Deanan]

None of the applications support audio yet.
Only the QT proxies from the camera do at this point.

[Uli Plank]

Hi Deanan,
I found the culprit (but not the reason): It only happens with the 4 K r3d footage from John Beale ( http://www.bealecorner.org/red/test-080108/index.html ), so there must be something wrong with that. The r3D footage with the drag race works fine in 4K.

Regards,

Uli
