  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

RELEASED: RED Final Cut Studio 2 Installer

Kaku,

Yes I have set it to 10bit to YUV, if i uncheck the FCP compatibility in Quictime the renders look nearly correct but slightly desaturated, but that's not gonna fix what I'll see in FCP.

No necessarily! We'll still be using Crimson for a lot of our work for DPXs. There's a lot more color grading options out there other than (and better than) Apple Color!

I helped a Customer prepare for Smke yesterday and mentioned this new option.

His response:
"Yeah, good. Well, now about that Smoke dpx conform"

:)
 
So I'm not really the tech guru but let me get this straight....with the new plug in for FCP2 we can do this natively (or whatever you want to call it:) BUT we can only out 2K??

I'm I hearing that right...just making sure. thanks

yes you heard right. But hey you're using the entire 4K R3D so who knows maybe when APPLE ups the ante to 4K reconforming may be a relatively simple operation.
 
What kind of performance are people getting out of the Log and Transfer when wrapping the red files? My system seems to do it at about real-time. I'm running 2 x 2.66GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon with 8GB of RAM. The bottleneck on my system is that I was using a secondary internal drive (probably not very fast).

What kind of speed are other folks getting?
 
make sure native is selected in the preferences tab. If you open it and the red import says prores then change to native and it should be lightning fast. (okay exaggeration, but very very quick ;)

Yeah,
Just tried it with a faster disk. Much faster now.
Log and transfer speed is a direct correlation with your disk speed.
My processors are barely breakin' a sweat.
Since the media is being copied, you need disks with fast read & write.
 
Improving the transcode speed won't help the performance of editing the proxies unfortunately... that is still quite poor.

Yeah, it is a bit sluggish. Unchecking "scrub in high quality" and setting playback quality to low is helpful.
 
These settings are found under the RT pop-up menu in the timeline ( and elsewhere ).

Adobe is providing indestructible resolution workflow that meets various CPU/Disk speeds so hopefully Apple will catch up in FCS3.

Then I assume when FCP is baking metadata and Color reviewing or baking metadata is slightly different. Apple really has to finish FCS3 and fix all of these things.
 
I just graded a 9 minute short with Color and its fun to use (but buggy).
I hope apple turns Color into the shiznit and release Color 2 before FCS3

I hope so but I don't think so. It's going to be a lot of work to support the whole metadata and resolution independent environment.
