Hello all, I was wondering if I could acquire some help in trying to manage the upcoming Post Process on my semester shoot in a few months. This will be shot on our newly acquired RED ONE. I am trying to avoid all of the miniscule mistakes that can cost hours of time. If there is any advice you would be willing to give to a first time RED DP, I would be more than happy to discuss.

Thanks,

There is a post workflow section of the forum that is divided into sections by NLE programs.... It can help you for future reference...

To really answer your question we need to know what NLE your going to use, including the version # and what the computer specs are that your using with the NLE. Plus we need to know whether your final deliverable is 2k or 4k.

Some computers and software can edit r3d files natively. Those workflows might be considered "easy" because you don't need to transcode to a proxy editing format, and because you don't need to deal with relinking your cuts to the 4k r3d files at the end of post prior to color correction (assuming your having a 4k delivery and need to go back to 4k size raw files). Still others might consider that your school project doesn't have a 4k delivery requirement so you might as well make it all 2k prores or some other proxy format and leave it that way. Export a 2k quicktime and be done at the end. Without knowing more details on your assignment/gear its difficult to really help you find a "best" answer.

So NLE choice, computer specs, and delivery specs all influence what is best and how your going to get there. The more details you can provide me the more in depth I can advise you...
 
Its become quite easy. Have a computer on set that you can dump your footage too, to 2 backup drives. You really don't want to lose the footage.

If you don't want to verify you copied by hand, get R3D Data Manager. http://www.r3ddata.com/ Its worth the money to check that you copied it over to multiple drives.

Check footage with whatever the latest REDCINE-X Pro build is out, and edit in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, if you don't have that, and need to make proxies, then you can easily dump then via RCX Pro.
 
Thank you very much.
Yes i realize I need a few more specifics on the whole workflow, but as of now I am just trying to get a real understanding of the process. Which from what I hear, is not too far from the workflow that would come from a regular shoot.

As time passes I will get a little more information locked in and will have plenty more questions I'm sure, but as of now I thank you.

Tyler-

Do you know Matt Lohr? He's in your area. I think he might know. If not, e-mail me and I'd be glad to talk you though it. ryan at patchfamily dot com.
 
Thanks Ryan,

Yes I've met matt a few times, and worked with him slightly. But I'm really looking for a different outlook instead of sticking close to the compass family.
