Redcine-X File Finishing
Can Premier Pro CS5 finish and export 4k native Red files that can be played back using the Redrocket card and Redcine-X?

I don’t know that anything outside of a RED camera writes RED files…I’m not sure if you can use RED Rocket to view them from inside PPro. I don’t have one myself…
You bring IN the RED files, edit them, use Cine to do whatever color correction you’d like and have it in the metadata for the clip…etc.
Then the most popular workflows are likely to take that RED RAW material and output it to DPX frame sequences for further post steps in Nuke for effects or a finishing system of some sort.
However, I’m not sure I completely understand your question.

I have a client that wants the final, edited project back in a native Red file format so that they can play it on their 4k monitors at their offices and trade shows. I know that Avid DS can export out the finished 4k edit to native Red. Can Pr CS5 export out the finished product in 4k native Red file format so it can be played in the Redcine-x player with the rocket card?

I know the DS will play out via Red Rocket…like PPro CS5 will. I don’t know that either application can “write” a new, single-stream, RED R3D file…they play it out.
Your question intrigued me to look into the DS workflow for RED and I just don’t see anything in Avid’s material that talks about being able to “export” (as in generate a new, single stream video file) an R3D file. You can export an edit list of your cuts on a given set of R3D material, but you’d have to move the edit list with the R3D material.
Any REDCINE-X changes you make are written into the source media’s metadata similar to CineForm’s FirstLight, so the REDCINEX CC travels with a metadata cache connected to the media.
So…I assume that if your client has an Avid DS system with a RED Rocket on it, you’d do a cut in PPro CS5 and restrict your CC activities to REDCINE-X (no PPro effects) and then move that edit decision list to the Avid along with the R3D material and the metadata…
If the DS system can actually export cut and recombined R3D files, I’d defintely be curious to know more about that if anyone can direct me to a link.
