  • 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 :)

Hard Drive to Telecine?

Having dealt with a few post houses on workflow I can safely say that most of them have got on top of the system generally. Grading etc hasn't been a problem although the biggest headache is the transfer time from r3d to something editable. I imagine when Avid (the industry standard editor as far as most of them seem to be concerned here) and Red get together and create some bridge it will greatly ease the workflow issues. Around here it seems to be the biggest obstacle for mainstream work.
 
Just make sure you drop the hard drive off at the post facility the day before the grading. And also make sure they actually copy the files overnight.

edit: The post hous we work currently with actually wanted the drive more than a day in advance because they not just have to copy 600GB of dpx files from a USB drive but also render the proxies for their color grading suite.

Last year I went to a digital grading and the guys at the post house had forgotten to load up the footage the day before. We spent four hours in the online bay watching the Avid copy the files. Luckily we had a flat rate ;-)
