SCRATCH-CINE is here...

quicktime support going the other way would be very valuable. This would address multiple format jobs. I am shooting red for some of my project and hd for the rest. I would think that there would be a ton of interest in a quicktime ingest or some sort of conversion to r3d. Am i Wrong?

I'm not sure what the benefit would be to transcode back to R3D, even if it was possible. If you shot mixed format between Red and HD you'll probably end up on HD anyway, in which case you would be conforming your R3Ds to 1920x1080 REC709 color space for mastering to HDCAM, D5 or SR tape.

If, for some reason, you wanted to do a DI finish with your mixed format you could spit out DPX from your R3D via Monkey Frame or RedAlert! and do the HD video independently. You wouldn't need to make the HD video into R3D to do that.

No output to ProRes kills this for me... it cuts out the most demanded workflow option

i agree this is a major down side... my workflow has been transcoding DNXHD in Final Cut (only FCP seems to not introduce the infamous gamma shift) to ProRes. It certainly is not ideal, but seems most efficient. Since i am new to Scratch, and the DNXHD export was put forth by others who have worked with the system for a while, i am curious to know if anyone else has another workflow that works better for them...

let me know if this is possible: it would be ideal if capture to a secondary machine with fcp over sdi with embedded source r3d timecode was possible. this would take any transcoding out of the equation...

thoughts?
