My QT Freeze Frame Issue Resolved

[R Fogg]

The solution I detailed was for an earlier version of redcine on PC - after the latest version of redcine was released I have had no further single frame issues. It seems there is a separate issue with the single frame issue on Macs.

Hey guys, I have done everything that was detailed in the first post (uninstalling QT 7.4, uninstalling RedCine, and reinstalling RedCine and QT 7.3.1, and deleting all the files in the RED folder, etc...) and when I export to QT I get a single pink frame, which turns out to be almost 7gb in size.

Are there any other suggestions out there? What's the Magic Bullet?

Thanks for your help.

What video card are you using?

Thanks for the info. I've been searching this forum now for a day and a half and still can't find a solution that works for Mac. I've run through all options on two different Intel Mac Pros to no avail. I want to make sure that Red Cine works so that I can conform using Crimson at the end of this job.

So I fixed my issue with an annoying work around. I used FCP and Crimson to split up my renders into 11 smaller chunks and Red Cine finally rendered my stuff with no problem. Red Cine is so buggy that I had to make everything really small (4 to 10 shots per session) to ensure that the renders were going through okay.

Hi

Thanks for all the great replies. It is good to see that I am not the only one struggling with Redcine.

I am going to be a post producer on a independent production that will be shot on red camera, edited on an avid and onlined and graded in scratch.

And we want to keep working with files all the way - which is why Redcine is a really good tool of exporting all the rawfootage to quicktimes that Avid understands, and at the same time keeping the filenames - so the online process in the scratch will run smooth.

My problem is that when I export more than two quicktimes the third, fourth etc. quicktime freeze-frame. Have anyone stumbled upon this problem?

Best,

Morten

This post got me going - THANK YOU!

I've got a question...currently cutting a Super16 feature (off line edit in Avid, 23.976 project). The director just went out for inserts and used RED. What export settings from REDCINE would be best to match the Super16 frame size?

For Macs:
Uninstall RedCine (Delete from Applications Folder)
Delete /Library/RedCine Directory (*-Critical Step)
Download and Install Newest Version of RedCine v3.0.8 build 108

See if that works

RFO,

Are you still using QT 7.3.1? I just shot a music video and have tons of footage to convert and I'm getting the still frame issue. I also downloaded the latest build of RedCine and it seems the problem got worse, however I'm still running QT 7.4.1.

Oh my god, thanks for uploading this tip man you genius. Thanks to Pacifist software too!!!! I just downgraded quicktime and tested the Red Rushes and Red Cine application. Flawless. AWESOMEEEEE
Red Rushes read the RSX file and processed accordingly. Awesome.
THANKS THANKS, red has no manual but an amazing group of people helping each other. Unbelievable.

I'm using a pc too, and first tried with the latest redcine and latest QT.
The only thing I got was a still, rose (still) frame.
Then I tried as stated in the first post , but still have the same result (whatever QT codec I take)
When taking a snap hot I also get a pink image.(snap mode view)

Then I also downgraded redcine to version 3.08.
When taking a snap shot in "snap mode" view , I get a good picture.
When taking a snap shot in "snap mode" image , I get a bad picture.
rendering doesn't give me a rose picture anymore, but just the same bad (still) picture.
I don't know if I can try something else ?:unsure:
I guess it's the combination of the correct redcine with the correct QT version ?
