I'm not really sure where to post this, but as the question centers around workflow issues, and having to go through Red Alert, I'll post it here. Can someone let me know if I am going about this correctly, or if there is a better way of doing this using the tools I have on hand?
Tools:
Camera Build: 20
RA Build: 20.1.2
FCP
Color
Clip Finder
Footage:
Originally shot on build 17 in tungsten light.
Current restraints:
- As I understand it, the new Color Science is only available via Red Alert, Red Rushes, or Clip Finder as they all use Redline which accesses the new Color Science. (Does Red Cine also use the new Color Science?) I cannot use FCP, or Color until the SDK is updated and Apple updates their software accordingly. (If I want to take advantage of the new build.)
-Additionally, if I want to take advantage of the new build I have to go into RA and re-white balance the image for footage that has been shot in builds prior to build 20. (It will effect all footage, however, tungsten will have the most noticeable difference.)
Workflow (until the SDK and Apple updates):
1. Edit via the proxies in FCP.
2. Export out a XML for Clip Finder.
3. Import XML in Clip Finder, then use the RA function to go into RA.
4. In RA re-white balance the clip.
5. When done in CF, render out the clips.
6. Re-conform in FCP and send to Color for grading.
7. Grade in Color and export master for delivery.
I'm looking to figure this out for both this build and for future builds as I would like to be able to take advantage of the new build without having to wait for the SDK and for Apple to update there programs ...
