REDCODE RAW to REDCODE RAW?

**Michael Mann** · 05-09-2007, 09:38 AM

Does REDCINE allow to (smart)render a segment of an REDCODE RAW clip to REDCODE RAW? This would be useful to shorten native clips.

Previous postings seem to indicate that you can select in Red Cine, while the mag is attached to the computer. to render out partial clips to any codec.
If this is true as I currently believe then, there should be no need for this workaround. If it is not true it represents a great difficulty as for instance in a 40 minute continuously rolling interview, where only about 2b minutes will be used. We would have to render a 40 minute clip to use 2 minutes. Now that would be terrible!!!

No to REDCODE RAW to REDCODE RAW renders, but the desirability of trimming a clip before exporting it from REDCINE is understood.

I understand that it is not possible to render to the RAW codec, but what about using eg FCP's media manager to consolidate clips. If there is no re-compression cycle to go through, will it be possible to trim clips and end up with shorter clips whose media is still RAW?

I would imagine there will be times when you may just leave the camera rolling, waiting for just the right moment to happen. This will create very large files on the RED-DRIVE, but when you are archiving the media you might be very confident that most of a particular file was useless, and you would only want to archive the short useful bit. I would prefer to be able to archive that small clip as RAW, rather than re-compressing.

Nick, that is exactly the situation I have in mind. We simply should be able to trim native RAW clips to segments that are worth to archive.
