3.1.0

Release Date: 2008-07-10

Changes since v3.0.0: Support for Build 16 v3.2.1

The REDCODE RAW codec supports RT playback and editing of QuickTime reference movies generated in camera or by RED Alert!

Supports all Build 16 and earlier camera firmware QuickTime reference movies, REDspace, 4K 16×9, Full resolution (_F) movies.

Note: Pre Build 16 footage is rendered with a slightly different white point than previous versions of this codec. 4K & 3K full resolution (_F) movies may crash QuickTime player if the high-quality setting is enabled in the QuickTime player preferences.

Certain settings from RED Alert! generated QuickTime reference movies will not transfer, including: Curve, Color Space, Gamma Space, DRX. Transcoded QuickTime movies generated by RED Alert! or REDCINE do not have this restriction.

Depending on your system configuration, you may see less than full frame rate playback. RED recommends the current top end configuration of a MacPro with 8 cores, fast RAID 0 striped drives and a minimum of 4 gigabytes of RAM if you plan on editing 2K or larger QuickTime reference movies. For RT editing on a MacBook Pro, RED recommends you use 1K QuickTime reference movies.

1.5.0

Release Date: 2007-11-14

The REDCODE RAW codec supports RT playback and editing of QuickTime Reference movies generated in camera. When you transfer media from your CF cards to your hard drive for editing, please be sure you take the Native .R3D files, the QuickTime Reference movies and the Magazine Profile from the CF card. They should all live together in the same folder to allow for offline/online editing and finishing. After you have imported your QuickTime Reference movies into Final Cut Pro do not move the original files to another location. If you move the RED files and media after importing the QuickTime Reference movies into FCP you will lose the connection to the FCP master clips and will have to reconnect the files manually.

Import the QuickTime Reference movie size you wish to edit with and ensure that your clip parameters match your FCP sequence parameters. FCP will prompt you to automatically match the sequence settings with your clip when you make your first edit into a new timeline. Set your timeline to Unlimited RT and Medium or Low quality playback using the timeline’s RT pulldown menu.

Depending on your system configuration, you may see less than full frame rate playback. RED recommends the current top end configuration of a MacPro with 8 cores, fast RAID 0 striped drives and a minimum of 4 gigabytes of RAM if you plan on editing the 2K QuickTime Reference movies. RED recommends for RT editing on a MacBook Pro that you use the 1K QuickTime Reference movies or smaller frame sizes that can be generated with the RED Alert! Program provided to camera owners by RED.
