Following my last post,
I have further tied on an acer 3.4ghz 2g ram nVidia GEo 128Mb graphics card.
Application looks stable as in no buttons disappear, but i only get a black window instead of the footage, this with both of the downloaded video files.
I have tried all options , but to no avail, just black.
The Thumbnail of the video at the bottom of the screen is also black.
When i scroll through the frames, still black

Any ideas ?

Now the clouds clear LOL.

So... in theory, 4K 1:1 should be even better right?

It might be the format settings... try 4K 2:1 or something lower.

I created a new project, 2k Red and selected...
Camera RGB and Gamma Custom , and all loads in Ok, If the gamma is anything other than custom when the file loads in, the screen is all black.

Maybe that "gamma thing"
Recommended .. Do a reboot after install !

Hi guys, thank you, it works fine for me, a bit buggy, but a lot of fun. Like the GUI and the engine behind. I'm out of the office and play on a LapPro, works.... Thanks a lot, and now ....... the camera, a christmans present?

The interface looks similar to Lustre.

How long are rendering times supposed to be, roughly, for Quicktime files? I loaded up A003_C007_071105_001.R3D, played around with the curves, some color adjustments, and set it up as a 2.39:1 frame. I used ProRes 422, Normal Quality, Standard Processing, and set it up to output as a 1K film res file. I'm outputting the whole range (236 frames) and my estimated time is just shy of 3 hours! Is this normal?

I'm on an Intel iMac, the 24" one with the nVidia GeForce 7600GT, 2gb of ram. Curious to hear what kind of output times other people are getting.

The software seems really cool so far.

There is no 4K 1:1. These are aspect ratio proportions, nothing to do with image quality or compression. 4K 2:1 is 4096x2048 resolution, it was enabled before 4K 16:9 (4096x2304).

Andy: I'm pretty sure your graphics card is not up to snuff. Especially if you're seeing black frames and the such. Some older graphics cards can't deal with 4K material for example (or do color corrections).

Graphics card is EVERYTHING in REDCINE!

4K (16:9) should work in REDCINE (but not in RED ALERT! or the QuickTime codec!!), however we advice everyone to shoot 4K 2:1 (as all camera owners have been informed) since that is supported on all apps. This will be rectified shortly.

Please remember this is a beta. So if you're posting problems post full system details etc.

OHHH... now I get it. I thought it was some weird rectangle pixel aspect ratio going on. Now I get it... LOL.

Is "Red One 4K" 4K 16:9 in the program?
