  RED in MC5 Problems

  Posted by Bri Sanford on June 14, 2010 at 7:05 pm

  Well, I guess no one thought that RED workflow would be perfect in MC5… the only way to play down the red in an HD project is in DRAFT quality. If you do that all your GFX/Titles are now also downrezed to draft. This is a bummer, now I am still forced to transcode RED down to DNXHD which is a painfully long process as we all know.

  Anyone find solutions to this im not aware of?

  Really fast systems (HP Z800/Nehalem Mac) can play it back in yellow/green, rather than yellow/yellow mode. My XW8600 2xQC 3.00 seems to manage that as well.

  Get a REALLY GOOD NVidia graphics card. That will help. And make sure your RED footage is on a fast enough drive.
