Build 5 is now available (the Windows version is still unchanged).

Noteworthy changes are the separation of metadata and user colour settings, and the addition of multiple batch-processing templates.

Changes:

1. Import update method now matches by Reel, Camera, Clip, Start TOD Timecode and Date rather than filename.
2. There are two sets of colour parameters, one for the clip’s metadata and another, user-defined one. Importing CSV files will only write to the metadata parameters.
3. Added button to paste colour parameters from metadata.
4. Added button to reset colour parameters to defaults.
5. Added an ID field to clips table for indexing purposes.
6. Added infrastructure for multiple project tracking (note multiple projects are not implemented yet...)
7. Added template tags for metadata values. For example {ISO Meta} will be replaced with the value stored in the ISO metadata field. {ISO} will be replaced by the custom ISO value.
8. Added ability to copy and paste values via a “colour clipboard”.
9. Redline-specific options have been placed into their own tab under the revamped “Batch script generation” area.
10. You can now create and work with multiple templates.
11. Added some text to the UI to make the purpose of different sections a little clearer.
12. Added {RedDate} template tag, which uses the older (6-digit) method of calculating the numeric date value. New templates now use this method for the output path by default.
13. Added a button to generate some example templates.

There's a wiki for Redemption available now, which has documentation for usage, and also information related to using Redline.

Great product by the way. Im working on a feature and i was working on building my own filemaker db when someone told me about yours. overall its great cant wait to try everything out.

Build 3 of Redemption (Mac and Filemaker source only) is now available.

What's new:

1. Added growl support (Mac OS X only)
2. Added the ability to highlight/select individual clips
3. Added the option to limit exported batch list to selected clips
4. Added {ResizeX} and {ResizeY} template tags
5. ISO value is now stored per clip
6. Added a button to run redline command from clip record (Mac OS X only)
7. Fixed {Path to Reel} tag to account for 2-digit year formatting of date
8. Added buttons to generate a reference image and insert it into the current clip record or for all clips (Mac OS X only)*
9. Added buttons to insert QuickTime proxy into the current clip record or for all clips (Mac OS X only)*
10. Prompts to automatically insert QuickTime proxies or stills after import
11. Added a button to the help page to execute the redline csv generation (Mac OS X only)
12. Separated out some of the data to help facilitate some sort of upgrade functionality in future versions
13. Shows random images on front page

*Note these functions require the Red QuickTime codecs to be installed, that the QuickTime wrappers have been created, and that the filepath is set as an absolute path (i.e. “/Volumes/Disk Drive/Folder/file”)

We've decided to release "Redemption" the application we've been using internally to track and manage the Red camera clip metadata for free (under a GPL) along with the Filemaker Pro source.

Right now it's mainly useful as a front-end for Redline, for building batch scripts and so on.

Some of its "features":

* import a redline csv file
* add notes and images to clips for reference
* print a log of all the data, broken down by reel
* specify redline command parameters

I'll get a proper webpage with more information soon, but for those who want to get their teeth into it, you can access the app (mac only at the moment) and the filemaker pro source from http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=57...
