Red 3 API Error

Sure … I gave them your email address and a link to this thread but a number would be great. You can send that to me privately at peterm@borisfx.com.

Cheers,

Peter.

Spoke with Mukesh and tried his idea of uninstalling AMP Font Viewer and deleting the Red .ini without any luck.

Next, I copied the entire Symphony font directory into my Media Composer (only copying in new fonts and not overwriting) and that took care of it. Even reinstalled AMP and there was no conflict with Red. Another bonus is that Red now starts faster.

With the font folder now up to 1,865 fonts and 277MB I figured Photoshop would once again not display all the fonts in its list, but it appears to be holding up for the moment.

Do you have any solution for the LightZoom serial? UPDATE: LightZoom still appears to work in Red standalone, so I guess it’s not needed.

Hi Steve,

I’m glad to hear that you were able to resolve the problem with the fonts on that system. The software that you are running is quite old (I think RED 3 is from about 8 years ago) and at this stage is considered “unsupported.” If you want to maintain the system, you would be well advised to back up a mirror copy of the system disc so that if you change anything and run into another issue where it’s no longer functioning as expected, you would then be able to restore the drive and continue working.

I’ll ask around and see if I can find a license that I can send to you for the Light Zoom freebie filter installer.

Thanks,

Peter.
