Looking for an official workflow for 5k ANA footage (shot true 2x anamorphic lens)
90% footage is shot 5K ANA on RED EPIC
Final authoring: 4k // 2:40 aspect ratio
Colorist on DaVinci will be doing the onlining and final export off the EDL
Right now my workflow is this:
1) Transcode all 5K ANA files using a fit width 2x and export setting ProRes 422 at 2048x858
2) Import into FCP, organize and edit using these files as an offline
3) When piece is finished export EDL and online R3D files
4) Deliver to colorist for color-pass plus export in 4k / 2:40 aspect ratio
The only thing I'm worried about is that FCP isn't very happy with my initial tests using 2048x858 (won't monitor correctly via Kona card). I know a few people have mentioned just transcoding the files as they were shot (squeezed) and then using the 16:9 "desqueeze" in FCP's sequence settings to do the unsqueeze.
I'm concerned because I haven't be able to find anything on the forums (or online in general) concerning a tried and true workflow for anamorphic that is actually authoring in 2:40 aspect ratio and onlining the files in the last step. Any help with a solid anamorphic workflow from Redcine>FCP would be very much appreciated!
