qt file from redcine not optimized for fcp?

[hans de vries]

I wonder whether this is something I should do something about?:
I export prores qt movies, 2k 2:1, from redcine. When I import that into fcp 6.0.5 I get a warning that the qt file is not optimized for fcp. When I continue everything seems to be working fine but maybe there is something I don't see. I assume that it is because 2:1 is not a format native to qt, but are there any real consequences? Any opinions are very much appreciated.

Is your FCP up to date? 2K works fine for me.

 

[hans de vries]

Isn't 6.0.5 the latest? And it does seem to be working fine, except for the fact that fcp warns me that the file is not optimized for fcp and I should do something about it for optimal performance. But I'm not sure what I'm missing out on.

Strange, I checked and it actually is 6.0.5, but it works for me without that message.
Which codec are you using?

I get that message as well out of Redcine when I've used it. The files go in as Redmag.mov. I haven't messed too much with it, mostly I use L & T because it seems to work about twice as fast.

I don't mess too much, either, and it's quicktime proress 422hq 2k 2:1

Do you get that message if you transcode with RA?

 

[hans de vries]

Hi Uli,
actually I never use red alert, I'll try that (but I can't before monday, so don't wait up for it:biggrin: )

 

[hans de vries]

I don't know if anyone's still attending this thread, but: no trouble in red alert

Looks like another bug in RC…

OT: Can you load multiple clips in RA?

I've had a similar message when I made a sequence from the reimported graded TIFF files, exported that sequence and reimported it into another Mac - with the same version of FCP. Go figure... Could it be a interlaced/non-interlaced thing?

No – but in RR.
