What was Contagion edited on??

Does anyone know? It would be interesting to hear how they handled their RED workflow in post.

TIA, Simon

Edited on Avid Media Composer. Pretty typical workflow; transcode to DNxHD36 for offline, then conform via AAF or EDL for finished master. I am not sure of system used there, but in the past it has been Assimilate Scratch. This allows the most flexibility is editorial with lots of footage. Easy to handle and move around. You can get just under 70 hours of 1080p/23.976 on a 1TB drive and can still look good enough to project on 40' screen for dailies and review. Usually a colorist working with DIT will create dailies ala "one-light". I am not sure which system that was done in, but could be REDCINE X, Resolve, etc.

It's not Contagion, but here's another workflow story - RED + Avid.
