RED 3.0/4.0/4.1 Work-around

[Dave Jenkins]

Wow and I have been waiting for the answer from Boris for months on how to open 3.0 files in 4. It’s just a rename?

Glory Be! Can it really be that simple?

Hello All, we posted a script on our website a while ago that wil do just that. It’s called “RED 3 Settings – RED 4 Settings Update For Final Cut Pro users”. This script will enable RED 3 effect settings to open in RED 4 on FCP timelines. To use, you must run the apple script on the machine that you have installed both RED 3 and RED 4.
One other thing, if you have installed the NON-Universal install of RED 4.1, you will not be able to open FCP timelines that have effects created with the MAC-Universal install of RED on them.

Here is a link to the download for this script.

Thanks Paul, I was unaware of the script.

Part of my problem also was that after installing 4.1, I was getting the error message that 4.0 static plugin was no longer available.

[Tim Langston]

That’s also one of my error messages, does it go away after running the script or renaming the plugins?

I didn’t run the script as I had already duplicated then renamed the plugins. And, yes it solved the problem.
