Hi,
I have some problems with the RedTrip Python Workflow to convert the FCP XML to Redcine XML.
I hope someone could help me.
I have installed python 2.5.2 for mac on my Leopard then i have downloaded the newest redtrip 0.6.0.
I have generated my FCP XML and now i have no idea what i should do.
What shoud i do with the RedTripDroplet Step 1 and 2? And if a make a double click on this scripts he said "Itīs for the classic environment".
When i double click the RedTrip.pyc it opens a windows with Python Shell and a second window for the RedTrip.pyc. But now i canīt drag and drop the FCP xml into the shell.
Nothing happens.
And if a open the Terminal i can drag and drop my FCP xml in but he said Syntax error.
It would be very nice if someone could write down a step by step!
Thanks a lot!
alex

Drag the FCP generated XML onto the RedTripDroplet Step 1.
It's all right here:

I'm pretty clueless about all this, but I just did a successful test. Edited the camera-generated 1k proxies in Final Cut off a firewire drive. Exported XML and followed the RedTrip notes - dropped the xml onto the droplet. Got that into RedCine and exported the trimmed selections as DPX. Sweet!
I haven't gone back to Final Cut because this is all greenscreen and I think we'll be sort of manually conforming in After Effects with all the comp work and effects.
But even just this workflow - editing the proxies and just exporting the selections to DPX is huge.
Thanks!

Hmm. I'm on Leopard too. I had to download and install python first. There's a link to it from the RedTrip page. Maybe that's it?

nothing happen at all.
Once again.
I had downloaded the RedTrip .60 from your homepage.
I have extract the three files (RedTrip.pyc, RedTripDroplet Step 1 and 2) to the desktop. I allready tested it when i renemaed the RedTrip.pyc to RedTrip.py itīs the same.
The Icons of the files RedTripDroplet Step 1 and 2 are crossed out as you can see in the attachment. If a double click them Leopard says they only work in the classic environment.
Then i installed Python 2.5.2.
Then i made my FCP XML as descriped in your wiki blog . )Iīm using the Apple XML Interchange-Format, Version 4 for Export.
And at this point Iīm getting confused:)
Iīm starting the Python 2.5.2 IDLE (Python shell window open).
Then I wanted to drag an drop the FCP XML on the RedTripDroplet Step 1 on the desktop but nothing happen.
I put the RedTripDroplet Step 1 into the Python shell, into the Apple script, into the Terminal but nothing happen.
i wanted to put the FCP XML into the Python shell but nothing happend.
I tested everything to plugin in everywhere :)
I hope you say to me there ist a mistake in my workflow :)
thanks

Alex,
It seems that what is missing from your system is AppleScript which you will likely find on your MacOSX install disk. Install that.

Thanks - I can now load the project! But, when I render out as a quicktime, the film is just streeks.
Edit:
"Adjust you project size settings etc."; Redcine preset 4k 2:1 messed it up - if I adjust manually the correct project size it works.
