RELEASED: BETA REDCINE (v1.0.4)

[Andrew M.]

Kevin, did you test outputing QT H. 264 On your XP laptop?

Are you taking whole 4096 X 2304 as the input material?
Still doesn't work on XPS here:-(

did you try to download again, sometimes this helps....erase all of your folders before installing, if redcine doesnt create the redcine folder in the library, create it manualy, if it creates you know erase it. if you saved your redcine .rcn files move them to another place.

Have just downloaded both v1.0.4 + v1.0.3, still no luck getting either to run.

Each time I deleted the application and the library folders so started 'clean'.

As far as I'm aware nothing has changed on my system, haven't updated QT still running 7.3.

While the new RedCine hasn't crashed on me yet, still no luck for me getting scaled export to ProRes. Just get the first frame repeated, even if I export the entire clip. Note also the tiny screen snaps I've attached (the posterizing is an artifact of converting to GIF format, NOTE TO SITE ADMIN: Please allow posting of PNG images and/or TIFF images), a small portion of the frame as rendered by QT Player. Not only are there obviously gamma issues (some setting I've got wrong, most likely), but look at how this "flake" artifact was created. Very weird, at first I thought it was really in the scene, because it only happened in this one place on the frame, but it doesn't show up in RedCine's preview or RedAlert's, only on the ProRes output.

New Project, one clip. Clip and project are 4K 2:1, 23.976FPS. RedCine sees clip as 24FPS. Manually set the clip to 23.976. Try to export to ProRes HQ scaled to 2048 x 1080 fit height.

Sharpen: 20
Detail: High
NR: Enabled
Quality: High
Filter: Mitchell
Process: Full

By the way, export with this non-fractional scaling to ProRes takes 5:1 on my machine. Might take longer if it was actually exporting the right video.

I'm wondering, though, what's really going on because that flake is in ALL the outputs I've done. Is it possible that RedCine is not properly initializing the video card buffer?


My System:

Mac Pro 8-core 2.8GHz (Early 2008 edition)
12GB RAM
nVidia 8800GT 512MB
One display (Dell) at 1680 x 1050
OSX 10.5.2
QT 7.4.1 (QT 7.3 not supported on this machine)
All updates installed current, including Leopard Graphics Update 1.0

i think the nvidia card is the source of your problem...

Sure enough, when I can get it to work, it's taking 26:1 to export 4K 2:1 to ProRes HQ at 2048x1080, which, interestingly, is how long it's taking to export 4K DPX files, and slower than RedAlert which is closer to 15:1.
