RRencode Workflow

You can encode R3D, TIFF, DPX, and audio files into the .RED format for REDRAY® delivery. The RRencode plugin is required to load TIFF and DPX files in the Media tab.

NOTE: The RRencode plugin is only available to REDRAY owners.

Clip Options

  • Encode a single clip: Ensure that the file and its corresponding audio file (if applicable) are in the Bin panel. When you encode (export) the clip, select Bin (Selected Clips) or Bin (All Clips).
  • Create a single encoded clip from multiple video clips: Place your files and corresponding audio files (if applicable) in the Timeline panel. When you encode (export) the clips, select Timeline (All Clips).

    1. Go to Framing Control.
    2. Select a Fit setting from the drop-down menu:
      • Fit Height: Select if your source content has an aspect ratio of 16:9. This creates an active image area of 3840 x 2160p, with additional black bars on either side.
      • Fit Width: Select if your source content has an aspect ratio of 2.39:1. This creates an active image area of 4096 x 1714p, with additional black bars above and below.

      NOTE: You can select Stretch W/H and crop settings to map other aspect ratio images. You can also isolate specific areas of the source image.
