  • 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 :)

super simple avid workflow

Hi Maicol

Use DNX185X for everything to do with HD as in ONLINE. You can download the latest version of the AVID codec for MAC or PC by googling it.

When exporting or importing vision into the avid via IMPORT MEDIA use RGB levels for both. This is for After FX and most 2d/3d software packages

And you can't properly color correct on any avid using normal computer monitors as they are for PREVIEW only. Use a proper external video monitor connected to your MOJO/ Nitris DX or now the new MATROX Mini SDI/HDSDI output box. They output proper YUV HDSDI if you need 4:4:4 RGB output, then you need nitris DX
 
Thank you guys.. I know that we have not a very good pc equipment and I'm sorry if we want to go to the moon with a bike but at least we can use the bike to arrive to the space center... :)

I'd to change my workflow again and I have found a more correct way to do all, or at least I hope that....


Again:
this is a super simplified workflow for who like me have limitad equipment for create movie with red camera.
MC5.5.1 on pc Win7 64bit with 2 calibrated but cheap monitor, no external monitor to see proper Color Correction.


Workflow:

First at all REDCINE-X (this is my last change) open your red file and create a proper LOOK and save a RDM file.
(you can do this every time in the creative process just update look in AMA)
Avid new project 1080P 23.97
Avid AMA folder import with all the RED r3d files
in the bin choose colum --->reformat and set for all files to pillarbox/letterbox
In the AMA set source setting LOAD the RDM file create from REDCINE
now I directly create a sequence and edit it out from this r3d bin
export as QT movie with codec DNxHD 1080p 175 10bit
------------------------------------------------------------------------------my workflow stop here

the last problem is the I have a black level change converting this file DNx to a reduced version
I'm trying using QT export to movie h264 or other compressor but out from thye 1080p DNx I have only more contrasted result.. any ideas?

Convert all the files from r3d to AVID MXF in red cine X. Dont use AMA its too slow to edit in.

Avid doesn't support REDCOLOR2/REDGAMMA2 yet.
 
I am just learning Avid, there are thinks I love and thinks I don't like about it.
I love the media management, but less like the conservative way of editing.

With red files I learned

Use AMA to bring the r3d media in -> transcode to Dnx into mediafiles folder.
Unmount the AMA drive.

Edit your piece,

And how to reconnect r3d media back, i have no idea :-(

has this workflow been streamlined yet? back in Dec I was able to import the MXF from RCX using DNxHD220. now with 5.5 my old workflow crashes at import. The only way I got the clip in was to drag the file from the RCX MXF folder into an Avid folder the use the Media Tool.
Im on OS X for this one.
The Link to AMA files works fine but we would like to use RCX as a starting point.
Avids PDFs tips still show ROCKETCineX as the app in their workflow?
Anything official other than the confusing (for me) one at www.avid.com/red site?
 
You should not import MXF files. They are Avid MediaFiles and need to be placed in the appropriate folder. If you use RedCine-X, it will create a set of MXF and AAF files. Yuo can drag the AAF files into a bin (that will create the clips) but you have to drag the MXF files into the X:/Avid MediaFiles/MXF/n/ folder.

Yep after a few tries I did the recent suggested way and it works. I think I got my notes mixed up from Dec and meant to say link to AMA.
Thanks!
