How to make an edit of epic footage for a colorist

[mike simckowitz]

I plan to rent an epic to shoot a music video. I want to know the best way to create an edit to send to a colorist...? The person who is going to color said to import the r3d's directly into premiere on a 1080 timeline no conversion(still 5k footage).... I pretty much want to know what to do once I have the red mags with footage from camera? do i need to convert in redcine? I am using a newer imac 3.4ghz i7 8gb memory and premiere. I can get access to a red rocket card but if not necessary that would be cool.

If you are handing him a premiere timeline to color grade then you don't need to do anything. Everything is native in Adobe. You don't need to convert anything and no need for Redcine.
