Final Cut Pro: Green frames or other anomalies on render with REDCODE
Symptoms
Sometimes sequences containing REDCODE clips show green frames, gray frames, or other anomalies when rendered.
Products Affected
Final Cut Pro 6.x, RED Camera
Resolution
This happens if the sequence compressor is set to REDCODE. The RED Quicktime codec is only for decoding, not encoding. To change the compressor:
- Control-click the sequence and choose Settings.
- Click the General tab in the Sequence Settings window.
- In the Quicktime Video Settings area, click the Compressor drop-down menu, and choose Apple ProRes (HQ).
To get the latest version of the RED QuickTime codec, go to the RED Support page.
