Problems with RedTrip

[btopf]

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 "It´s 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 can´t 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!

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?

As i said before i have installed the latest Python 2.5.2 ! And this works so Python ist not the problem.

Has anybody an idea what´s the problem ?

thanks

Alex,

Nothing happens? At all?

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 it´s 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 . )I´m using the Apple XML Interchange-Format, Version 4 for Export.

And at this point I´m getting confused:)

I´m 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.

"can't make window into type file"

always get this when dropping an xml onto redtrip (6.1)

Any solution out there?

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.

Sorry for the late answer but i had installed Apple Script from beginning. So thats not the problem i think!
