  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Adobe support...

Well, this seems very promising. I'm liking the idea that I can edit in a lower res, get things where they need to be, hit a switch and render out if I want right from the original R3D. I'm also very excited about the idea of getting the basic edit done and then moving right over to After Effects to do some graphical treatments and final color correction to create a digital master. If this works smoothly, I will have no problem moving over to the Adobe Suite.

At the very least, I could see this becoming my Red NLE of choice. Unless of course Avid, FCP, or some other company makes it even easier to work with Red footage.

I'm going in with an open mind. But it's also a mind filled with Avid and FCP, and I don't plan on kicking them out anytime soon. :-)

Why? I could just go into Fusion (don't get me wrong, AE is great). Or maybe it's going to be easier, huh?

Anyway, how does any of the compositing softwares compare to Color? Yes, you can do the color work in AE, Fusion, etc., but I'm guessing it'll be better in some way since it's an app dedicated to cc/grading work?

Obviously, I haven't worked in Color yet (planning to do the tutorial thing).

Anyone have any experience on both sides of the fence care to share their thoughts?
 
OK, time for reality check.

Will it take longer to un-lean FCP/Color and learn Premiere/AE or will there be a Apple solution within the next 3 months?

(Red is revolutionary in oh so many ways: Here I am, hardcore Mac fanboy who had Final Cut since 1.25, actually contemplating switching after 10 years of pure Mac to a Adobe/PC setup... Times are a-chaning...)
 
It's 9 o'clock FRIDAY in New Zealand right now.
 
I believe if you know FCP the jump to PPRO should be no more than a day of getting used to it, and vice versa.

That said I SIMPLY CANNOT believe there is native support for R3D in Adobe Premiere and AE. I never ever thought it would happen! No really I thought I would own a Ferrari before seeing native support. I have been a Premiere user for 5 years now...

Jarred I have to ask how stable Premiere is for you in general away from R3D and Red? And then after importing 100 4K files and working? I ask cause I am well aware of Premiere's issues with large projects and memory.

I suppose it is hard to say since it is early days and you guys have a clever "demosaic" going on there. I like the idea of cutting at a lower res then flicking over to full res for export.

Regards
Chris

The idea is that you will be able to natively work with .R3D files in the many Pro Color Grading, Correction, Filter, and Effect plugins that are available for AE, such as Color Finesse 2, Colorista, Boris FX, etc. (Fusion wouldn't directly open .R3D.... yet).

Also, you would be able to jump right from Premiere to After Effects and back.

Here is a list from Adobe's website of plugins:

Is AE RED plug-in Mac Intel only?

Is AE RED plug-in Mac Intel only?

I am just curious to know if the AE CS3 RED plug-in will work on PowerPC G5 computer as well?

Thank you,

We are just finishing an hour long movie and just discovered Color Finesse. I'm finding myself going back in and regrading a good third of the shots because I find I can get so much more out of the same (DVX200) material than I was able to with any of the native PP color correctors.

I'm still new to Color Finesse but from what I see thus far I like it very much.

I concur. I had not looked at Premiere in about 8 years... And then the Adobe support announcement came along. I checked out some quick tutorials, mostly the DVD that came with my Adobe software. Easy transition to make, IMO... Some of the keyboard shortcuts and hotkeys will take more time to learn, but I made myself a little cheat-sheet and taped it to the bottom of my screen while playing around.

Maybe I'll be able shoot and cut together a silent movie this weekend to test the Premiere workflow. :whistling:
 
no more then 1 day, unless you have learning issues. :) very very similar
