RED ONE rushes – tripping me out after Pro res’ing
Hi
Have shot on a RED ONE and after updating to FCP 6.0.1 as well as my operating system 10.5.8
Have also downloaded from RED.com the Final Cut Installer as well as the RED CINE and RED ALERT plugins.
I have now managed ( ? ) to add the red files to the log and transfer window within FCP and thought everything was going well when I made a new seq and then dragged one of the newly Pro Res’ed files to the timeline and then clicked ‘YES’ to ‘matching’ the seq to the footage! – Infact it was going so well that the footage looked fine! I even made a cut and then did a fade from a top clip to the bottom clip!
,…..THEN!!!!!
It all went pink and green on the clip and the now I cant see the footage as it should be! – Every now and again I get a glimpse of the clip as it should be but it seems like the sequence is not accepting the clip properly?
Any idea’s????
here’s what Im seeing
here’s a link to the same image

First of all, run software update to get to the last version of FCP…
Or not. Maybe you’ve found a new artform! trippy images created by corrupted encodes… LOL…

What video card does your Mac have? Do you see these effects if you open the ProRes quicktimes in quicktime player?
I ask because recently doing a 2k RED job I saw VERY similar problems on our junk nvidia cards…. but not our boxes with ATI

If I open up the Pro Res files in QuickTime player, they play just fine.

ok I have another bit of information that may help someone correctly diagnoze the problem?… grahics card?….
When creating a new sequence and then dragging a clip onto it – after pressing YES to match the sequence with the footage – it seems to work for about 20 secs with me playing around with clips… the all of a sudden ALL the clips will start behaving like this eg the trippy green and pink way!
MOAN: The deadline is getting nearer and I havent even started yet!!!!!!! arrrrrrrrgh!!!!! It’s been about a week getting to this stage working with the RED ONE!….

That’s EXACTLY the graphic card in two of our MacPro’s that had the same problem.
You’ve gotta upgrade that card. It can’t handle the realtime 2K prores proxy conversion so you can see an image in your FCP windows. Nothing else is wrong – the data is all safe – Apple’s Nvidia drivers are shit.
You can re-process all the RED footage in RedRushes as 1080 ProRes quicktimes. Those will work. Or get an ATI card for your Mac.
it totally sucks. we were in exactly the same jam… had editing machines that worked great until we got into those red 2k files

I’ve had the same problem using FCP 7.0.2. I’ve found that you can edit the footage in a lower quality sequence first (try 960×720 DVCPRO HD 720p60), then copy and paste it into the 2048×1024 sequence. You’ll just have to remove the motion and distort attributes before exporting.
Also, in the 2k sequence, set your RT playback to medium and you should be able to playback without the green and pink mess, however when you stop on a frame it may still be there.
