R3D to Proress

[greg filipkowski]

I just did a transfer from Redcine X from R3D 4K file to 4K Proress

R3D was 292MB Proress became 672 MB, over double the size, I thought Prorezz was suppose to be smaller size?

Also where can I download nice R3D?

Getting ready to receive scarlet, so before it gets here I have to work on the workflow.

ProRes is three channels of colour information relative to R3D Raw which is actually a single channel of monochrome Bayer info - also ProRes is a less efficient compression than Redcode.

 

[Andrew Gentle]

Generally you would transcode to ProRes at a smaller resolution and do an offline edit with the intention to relinking and conforming the original .R3D files for grading and delivery.

So it looks like ProRess take up 2X the space of R3D
