REDCINE-X -> PremierePro CS6 - > Speedgrade??

[Filippo Guerra]

I'm trying to get a clean workflow,
with a quick look/setting at files in RedCineX, then make a cut in PremierePro and final grading in Speedgrade.

How do you usually work with this workflow? I'm new to RED, just trying to get a clean picture with some footage that we made as a test with a rented EPIC.
I would like to keep the power of RAW files all the way down to Speedgrade, is that possible?
Should I use proxy files?

I don't have a very powerful system, should I transcode RAW files to ProRes4444 from RedCine? In this way I will loose the ability to edit the raw files...

It makes sense to to do the Pregrading in Redcine X and import the RAW-files afterwards in PP. Here you can easily continue to work nativly on RED RAW. Speedgrade loses that path and continues with DPX transcodings.

Cheers

Does the EDL PremierePro->Speedgrade path works?

Speedgrade loses that path and continues with DPX transcodings.

SpeedGrade only transcoded to DPX if you use Send to Speedgrade command.

Does the EDL PremierePro->Speedgrade path works?

Yes, absolutely

Ok, so far so good.

Light grading in RedCineX, opened in PremierePro, fast cut, export EDL, open in Speedgrade and grade.
Now?? I mean, is there a way to go back to PPro via EDL? I remember that you can easily go back and forth between FCP and Color, is there a similar workflow for PPro/Speedgrade?

is there a similar workflow for PPro/Speedgrade?

Not yet, SpeedGrade is a new addition to Creative Suite.
