XML2RCX script (mac only)

[Mikael Lubtchansky]

Luis,

R3D Clips are unlimited in the full version that you have.

10 is just the current limit as to how many scan folders you can add to reconnect the original R3D files (it can reconnect your XML if your R3D files are located on up to 10 different disk drives...).

But if you need more than 10 source drives I can do a quick update to the script...

version 0.7 fixes several major and minor issues conforming FCP and Avid xmls. Thanks to all who sent their tests XMLs, it has been very helpful


----
FYI version 0.7 will no longer work with the bogus name/serial floating around...

I received so far 7 donations (thanks guys) for my 2 scripts and even if I didn't wrote them to make any money I was surprised to discover someone was interested in using the full version without supporting future development... and save 15$ !!

Sorry, but where is the link to 0.7, if that is the latest version... on this thread, I only see a link to 0.5.

AH... NEVERMIND... my bad.

I want to thank you once again Mikael. Your tool saves me an hour or two and couple of hundreds of gigabytes on a daily basis. I'm color grading mostly commercials. My previous workflow was like this: go trough timeline and write down RED file names, then locate that files on hard drive and convert it in full duration with RocketCineX to DPX sequences to finish it on the DaVinci Resolve. I know that there is a tools like clipfinder, crimson and similar, but that tools are very complicated. XML2RCX for me was a missing link. Export XML, point to raw RED files and even add a handles! Wow. Load lua to Redcine-x, drag files from timeline to bin and export. Easy is the keyword.
My files and project are ready for less than a 10 minutes now, and just couple a days ago it last for hour or two. For me XML2RCX is every day life/time saver.
Best regards

Mikael -

Avid Media Composer tracks original filename in many areas depending on how the original R3D was referenced or transcoded. I have been trying to get some consistency in metadata mapping over the past year... it is slowly happening.

With v5 of Media Composer and AMA, the filename will also appear "Source File" and has the equivalent properties of "Tape" when working with file based sources. v5 also takes advantage with EDL Manager and ALE tweaks from REDCINE-X to track R3D file names in the 8 character truncated style of FCP so that an EDL can be generated that Apple Color can link to with full filename as a *comment.

Thanks Michael for the info, as I do not use or own any Avid Media Composer my script are just trying to adapt to whatever xml files exists in the real world (sent by some of my users/testers). I'd gladly add the "Source File" tag as a possible place to dig the info but since not everyone will update their editing station to v. 5 at the same time I'll still have to keep the script trying to parse any exotic xml it may encounter...

will this work with premiere pro cs5's xml export abilities?

[Mikael Lubtchansky]

Peter,

I have added preliminary adobe support in the EDL version but not yet in the xml one as I do not have CS5 here yet. If you send me a few example XML files (with several clips/tracks/ some with audio, some non red footage/graphics) it should not be too hard to support Premiere Pro xml
