FCP X - DRAGON

[Satva Leung]

I just got some 5K Dragon footage and I went to import into FCP X but it is not reading so I used RED Cine X to convert to pro res.

My question is does anyone know when RED / FCP X will release an update to be able to read the footage natively?

I have no problem editing native Scarlet 4K footage on my iMac.

Thanks!

Make sure you're up to date on the plugins from red.com/support

hey statva, long time no see. i had the same trouble with premiere pro CS6. for what it's worth the newer CC version of premiere pro handles the dragon footage perfectly. if you're in a pinch, you can use the trial version, and i believe you can set up the interface so that your final cut hot-keys work, which might help flatten out the learning curve. best of luck.

Does THIS help?

Thanks guys, all of you were right, just needed to update the RED Apple plugin, I thought I was up to date but guess not. FCP X is now handling footage flawlessly and the Dragon footy is looking amazing!
