RED 5 for Media Composer 6 Timeline? Also BCC8 updates?

[Peter Mcauley]

Also, and just for the sake of clarity, do you think you might be able to send us some images that show us exactly what the problem looks like on your system?

Thanks,

Peter.

Preferences/Settings were the first place when I looked, but … I’m at the front of my system and:
-composition window – preview quality: high
-composition window – preview resolution: full
– render in draft mode – unchecked

Transition quality is poor … soft images, looks like in draft mode – sorry.
I try preset: Library >Transitions/DVE Transitions/Wipes/QuadBar DVE

It is interesting, that not all presets are poor ! Some looks perfect.
I use only presets for my tests.

Okay – I think I have figured it out.

• Load the preset that you were using (QuadBar DVE Wipe)
• Select Track 1
• Go to the Composite Tab in the Controls Window
• Scroll down and observe that there is a parameter labelled Horizontal
• Remove any keyframes for this parameter and set the value to 0 (or you can achieve the same thing by setting the keyframe interpolation for this parameter to Constant and setting the value to 0)

Do the same thing for the other track.

Please let me know if this produces the result that you have in mind.

Cheers,

Peter.

A BIG RESPECT for you Peter !
I’m not new in Red, but looks like I was blind for the last two-three days.
Problem solved and all works fine, now.
Thank you for your assistance and time.

All the best.

Delighted to hear that helped solve the problem – thanks for letting me know that you’re all set – and for the kudos.

🙂

Cheers,

Peter.

I have tested more presets. It looks like new version has some problem to open correctly “older” presets. Very often horizontal and/or vertical parameter is set to 15 – 16 value.
