R3D data manager???

[Nir Shelter]

I installed the V4.2 update but was unable to export from the QT render window CSV files of the metadata. I did the same thing as I have been doing with V4.1 selected the source R3D files and then clicked the CSv tab but there was no response tried it several times as well as relaunching R3D Data Manager tried the TXT and PDF options but the same thing happened (or didn't happen...).
I ended up reverting to the older version I had installed to continue working, is this a bug or should I be doing something different after the update in order to achieve this?

Hi Conrad,

I bought R3D manager a few weeks ago and I think it is a great application. I don't know if it has been discussed earlier or if it makes any sense, but it would be great if R3D manager could do more than R3d files.

I say this because sometimes, after backing up from Red Card or Drive to external drives, I work on one of my drives. And just for organizing issues I end up placing on some folders some rendered files, jpegs that I used for compositing, and It would be great if R3D manager could copy to another 3rd hard drive (when the project is done) the whole drive, including R3d files, rendered files, or jpegs.

I guess this would be another application, like synk or something like that. But it would be great that R3d manager could do checksums on everything, not only the 3rd manager. I apologize if this doesn't make any sense.

Thanks,

Ivan

Right now R3D Data Manager will copy any file placed into RDC or RDM folders. Copying everything above that is untested, and it wont generate checksums on that material.

You could just do a finder copy and then check the checksums of R3D files. Just set the destination of the copy as the source and click on the "check checksums" button. Then all your data will be copied AND R3D files will be checksum checked.

Having played a bit with R3D manager and also Clipfinder, i found that there is a big difference in rendering quicktimes:

With the same settings I find that clipfinder renders quicktimes at about max. 16 fps on my MBP, the quicktime render window from R3D manager goes to appox. 4-5 fps.

What could be the reason of this?

Clearly, your settings are not matching up. The biggest reason may be the render resolution. In our testing R3D Data Manager is about 5% faster than RedRushes, so its hard to believe that both would be slower than clipfinder.

Hi Conrad,

Any news about the release date of the QT batch conversion option for the windows version ?

Thanks,

Kristin

Kristin-

Still having issues with the copying portion of R3D for windows - the batch conversion is a ways off still, it wont be in the first windows version.
