Workflow suggestions for FCP and RCX

[Mazen Said]

well Im a little bit confused about which work flow I would work with

can anyone tell me if Im right:
I Export the R3D footage from RCX to Quick time Uncompressed with two Versions of Each File :"a- Low quality for offline editing b- High quality to reconnect the offline edit with it " all on FCP

Then Export the final edit from FCP after reconnecting the High Res Quicktime
and I totally Ignore the Proxies m,h,f,p cause the are so distracting and annoying

am I right or No ?

P.S : all my Footage are in 4K , and this footage is for Music Videos project ... so I have to work with good quality

But they end up on video, right? Will it be (HD)TV, Blu-ray or DVD?
Are you going to do color grading or are you outsourcing?

No need to output the offline version uncompressed, ProRes LT or even DVCPro will be fine.

Have a look at Clipfinder.

More info if you answer my questions…

A suggestion:
(1) Use REDRushes to make quarter res or eighth res h264 or pro res offline files from your R3Ds.
(2) Edit in FCP using the offlines.
(3) Export your sequence as XML.
(4) Use Clipfinder to reconnect with the RED Quicktime proxies (choose which proxy based on the resolution you would like for your final).
(5) Conform back to an FCP XML in Clipfinder.
(6) Reimport the XML sequence in FCP and then send to Color for Grading.
(7) Back to FCP and Compressor for your final render.

REDRushes is part of REDAlert from red.com/support. ClipFinder is available at www.daun.ch/hamingja

Hi,

I must apologise in advance for my ignorance. I have a 4K R3D file a friend would like stabilised and I don't really know how to go about doing this.

I have downloaded RedCine-X and and also RocketCine-X, I put the clip into RocketCine-X and tried to export it but it never showed that anything was happening. I don't know how to use either of these programmes. Can someone please offer advice?

Thanks,

Jay
