Hi everyone,
We're bringing in our first major RED project, and I'm confounded by the various workflows proposed. In our case, we've got footage at 4K, 3K, and 2K (all 16:9), to be conformed as a 1080HD final. FCS 3 on new Mac Pro w/ good fast FC RAID storage.
To get started cutting quickly, I assumed I could edit with the proxies. I've followed all the recommendations, and my 2K _F proxies play fine, but 4K _H (which is 2K, right?) and 3K _F stutter badly.
I've seen the suggestion to edit using _M, which is fine for rough-cut, then we'll send R3D selects for color-correct, but since _M is being scaled UP to fit the 1080 sequence, how do I later go about replacing the clips with color-corrected full-res (2K, 3K, and 4K) footage, which will all need to be scaled DOWN varying degrees to fit the sequence? Does the scaling all have to be re-done manually?
Thanks in advance for any tips, or directions to anyplace this has already been covered. I've been searching for hours. Full disclosure: I'm not a full-time editor, I'm the support guy, but need to be intimately familiar with the workflows (and in most cases, dictate them).
