recommendation for best way to leverage simultaneous recording of ProRes and R3D

[Simon Lok]

I've been shooting R3D only on my Weapon. I know that it can shoot both but I haven't messed with the ProRes side. In the past what I've done is to do some basic color correction in RedCine X to create the RMD files, then bring the R3D files into FCP X and use the "create proxy" feature and "view proxy" function to get cutting done. Needless to say the "create proxy" process takes quite a while. I am wondering if I can do better by using the simultaneous recording of ProRes and R3D feature. If I have a pile of ProRes files and R3D that are named similarly, is there some simple way that if I cut with the ProRes files I can "export the cuts" or "link in the R3D files" or something like that to get the final result from the original files?

Why not just work with .r3d native?

Does FCPx force a proxy workflow?

I would love to know as well. I would love to seamlessly move from R3D and Prores from the Weapon.
