exporting .r3d stills (snapshot) from fcpx timeline

[Oron Cohen]

Hi,

I will apologise in advance and say I have very little knowledge in editing.

I have a project I've shot and the director edited on fcpx and I want the director to share with me a few .r3d's so I could play with it a bit in Resolve or RCX , then send her back a few "looks" I think we should go for with the grader as I can't attend grading.

I've searched a lot and can't find a way to do this simple thing, all she want to do, is scroll through the timeline, find a frame she thinks is good as a reference, and click export as .r3d, is there a way to this? maybe somehow linking back that frame to original media and opening it in RCX?

Couldn't figure out a way to open a specific frame in RCX only the full clip, then scroll to where I think the frame is, and click r3d snapshot, is that the only way to do this?

Thanks.

No you can't export an R3D from FCPX. You could jot down the timecode of the frame in FCPX, the Press F to find the frame in the Browser, then RMB click to reveal in Finder, Double click the R3D file to open in Redcine, then go to the same frame and Export R3D Still.

Thanks for your reply Bob! So that was what I suspected, very disappointing...they should add this as a feature in future updates, so you could select a frame on the timeline click: open in RCX and the exact same frame will open in RCX...is that so difficult to do?

That would be a nice feature... even if it can't open the exact frame, just to have a link to open in RCX would be nice.
