Red Rushes and Log/Lin conversion

[Mike Nichols]

I have a few DPX stacks that I exported from Red Rushes. I am mixing them in a final cut pro timeline with DPX stacks from an Arriscan of 35mm using gluetools. My problem, is that I have gluetools set for loglin conversion. It looks like this "conversion" is happening twice on the red dpx files. With Gluetools set to automatic, the files are fine, but the 35mm dpx files still look to be in log space. When I set for log/lin, the film scans look robust and great, while the Red stuff gets incredibly red and saturated. Any thoughts?

I've never tried Gluetools but did you give the free dpxtoquicktimetranslator from AJA a try?

What version of log and settings were used in RedRushes? If you follow the conventions set out by Autodesk in their white paper (http://images.autodesk.com/adsk/files/red_autodesk_whitepaper.pdf) and export PDLog985, the resulting DPX files should come out the same as film scans with standard Cineon log settings.

Thanks!

I am actually moving away from DPX entirely and going with 10bit RGB LOG files using the DPXtoQT app and my Kona 3. I used Red Rushes to export 10bit RGB LOG files.
