Hi everyone,
My company and I are trying to implement Prelude into our workflow. Primarily, we shoot w/ a Red Epic and currently are experimenting w/ batch transcoding camera rolls through Prelude using the Adobe Media Encoder dynamic link.
The question I have is this: can Media Encoder take advantage of our current G5 tower's Red Rocket card to speed up the transcoding process, and if so, how do I select it (i.e., if available, where in Prelude/Media Encoder's interface can I find this feature?)
I know this type of question has been asked before--specifically,
here: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?66229-Should-Adobe-Media-Encoder-be-using-Red- Rocket and
here: Re: How to turn over RedRocket Control to AME from Premier?
..but no true answer has been given regarding this specific workflow.
I know Red Rocket acceleration is possible in Premiere (and that the Red Rocket card can work w/ only one program at a time)--but what about batch transcoding R3D's in Prelude through Media Encoder. I'd prefer to not use RED-CINE X as we're interested in using all of the XMP metadata features in Prelude.
For reference, the machine I'm running is the following:
MAC OS X Version 10.9.4
Processor: 2X2.26 Ghz Quad--Core Xeon
Memory: 32 GB 1066 Mhz DDR3
Mac Pro Era Early 2009
Red Rocket Card (firmware 1.1.17.3)
Adobe Creative Suite CC 2014
If anyone could advice, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
John
