Hi all,
I'm having a hard time understanding the difference in Color Space options when using REDCINE-X Pro and FCPX.
Let's say, for example, I'm cutting my footage in FCPX in a project that uses Rec. 709. Cool.
If I click on a RED clip in the timeline and edit its settings I see it's set to DRAGONcolor2. Also cool.
Now my question is - should I be matching the RED settings with my FCPX timeline settings - i.e. set the clip to REC.709?
What adds to my notion of this, is if I edit the look in RCX, and then switch back to FCPX the clip looks *vastly* different between the two apps. I'm assuming because the color spaces in each application aren't matching? Is there a best practices for this?
Thanks for helping me understand!
