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 :)
For longer projects, I prefer to use Clipfinder to do quick color adjustment and render (same as RedAlert/Red Rushes) to ProrezSQ.
Do a cuts only offline in FCP with the SQ, putting clips I want a transition on the second layer with heads and tails. Do not do any scaling or rotation or effects on the footage.
Export XML and use Clipfinder to conform the XML to 2k and relink to 2k proxies.
Open the new XML in FCP and send to Color.
Render out of Color and finish in FCP or what ever system you have to finish with. You should have heads and tails to do your transitions and now you can do all the motion tab stuff and FCP effects.
On shorter projects I cut the 1k proxies and do everything else the same.
