Render .R3D with crop

[Jake Shaver]

I'm working on a job that was shot on the RED Dragon and the editor is taking advantage of dramatically resizing the images. She wants to take a wide shot and center crop it to make it a medium. Unfortunately the color house we're going to can't handle 6K yet AND it's going to be too expensive for them to deliver us their highest resolution 5K DPX files.

I know I can apply a crop in REDCINE X and render an R3D that will retain that cropping information but is there a way for me to actually bake in these crops and then render an R3D?

Thanks,
Jake Shaver

Nope. You can only trim the length of an R3D file and save it again as R3D.

If you have have the cropping guides open when you save the 'trimmed' r3d - those will be retained in the metadata and can be displayed and used again - so you can use the exact cropping you selected.

Good point Clark.

Jake,
what about edit in 6k so she can do all the resize she wants and then export a 4K log master for the color?
