red plug in fcpx...why not all adjustments?

[paul schefz]

i love the red plug in in fcpx....amazing....but WHY, WHY, WHY not all adjustments?
i would pay for that....
alchemy, curves!....is apple not allowing this to happen? or does red not want to step on toes? or something else? i don't think it would take away from redcine x and i don't see why apple would have a problem....

My guess is Alchemy is a part of the rendering engine in RCX and not just meta data settings of an R3D.

In other words closer to an FCP plug-in than something they can do on import.

Just guessing though...

Alchemy is a post processing effect and I don't think Red has released to developers how to integrate it?

I'm surprised tho that curves are not included. I don't use FCPX or anything, but this would seem like a basic feature that it should have.

i understand that alchemy isn't part of the plug in.....but curves, color,....that all has to be in meta data....i just hate that i can really only do very basic adjustments in redcineX that will actually transfer over/show up in fcpx....
i wonder if red is working on this? the plug in is still pretty new...

Yep, would love to have more controls too. Have sent Feedback to Apple about this, but never to RED. Maybe it's more in their hands as they provide the plugin?

Given the effort RED has put in to create and maintain REDcine-X, it seems to me they will rely on folks to use that for extensive R3D manipulation. For them, putting it into FCP-X plug-in might be somewhat redundant.

to me a raw workflow is raw until final output....which means i can't use most of the adjustments redcineX has to offer.....and since red obviously knows best how to massage red raw files, i would prefer to use the red raw engine as much as possible....

since redcineX is free software i am not sure why red would not want to turn it into a plug in for fcpx or any other editor....
of course it means resources and extra work and i somehow have a feeling that everybody is pretty busy at red right now
