FCP and Red gotchas???
we’re doing our first foray into RED and Final Cut, will be upgrading to 7 before post starts…this is a feature. I have sent the Red whitepaper to the production company that I found on the Red site. Apparently, they shot their last feature on Red (don’t know how it was edited though). As I red through the doc, I found the “Turn off Max setting” warning and not to shoot in 3K, which I thought were very important…are there any more gotchas I should look out form, either for the production team, or our post team?
I don’t know where the conform will take place, as of right now, we have the offline…and will probably use the new ProRes offline resolution to cut the movie, unless it is too compressed, but we’ll see when it gets here.
TIA
System will be the new Nehalem 8 core, 16GB ram, FCP 7…fiber storage.

“If you know that you’re going to do a conform somewhere, I’d suggest using Clipfinder to render to ProRes Proxy for the offline. In that case, you don’t need to worry about MAX or 3K. It will deal with it fine.
But it really depends on how and where you’ll do the conform and finishing work.
