New Video Tutorial on Using 4.5K footage....

[Chris Parker]

A new video tutorial on shooting 4.5K in new RED Build.

Today, thanks to a new instructor at Digital Cinema Lessons, Luca Immesi, we are happy to release a video tutorial that he did on how to transcode the 4.5K widescreen images you can now capture on the RED into useable, edit-able files. Welcome aboard Luca, and thanks for the awesome tutorial! Details here:

"4.5K Wide Screen recording (4480 × 1920 pixels) mode is not yet supported in Final Cut Pro and Color, in order to work with it you have to transcode to another codec. This workflow explains how to: transcode the R3D files to 720p prores LT with Clipfinder 2.2, editing in FCP, importing the FCP XML into Clipfinder 2.2, transcode only the R3D files used for the editing to 2K Wide screen prores 4444, import Clipfinder XML into FCP, send to Color. This kind of workflow takes advantage of the new color science. It works also for other Red recording modes."

Nice!

Out of curiosity can you still access the red raw settings using this work around???

Thank you for posting this tutorial. It is much needed. But I guess I don't understand the sense in going through the extra trouble of shooting 4.5K if you're planning a 2K finish. Doesn't it makes more sense to just shoot 4K 2:1 and crop in post?

No, it's not yet supported in FCS.

The frame is different in 4.5K respect to 4K 2:1, I like more the image composition in 4.5K and you get more resolution and you don't need to crop anything.
