anyone done a red camera conforms from fcp via the mac resolve

[Robbie Carman]

yeah I did this the other day on a short piece and everything worked just fine.

Add all the R3Ds to the media pool. Take your FCP EDL and conform but make sure on the config tab and then settings you enable extract reel names from comments as the default 8 characters won’t cut it for the way the RED reels are named.

Hi.

I did it a bit different: ad to media pool by edl.
Only used red files were added.

Works perfectly.

Thanks for the tips..

Half the project links the other half red x’s.

Trying to find the difference in the edl / paths. I did notice the firmware of the red camera changed half way through the project. Also to make it more interesting the project has some 5d and 3k red varispeed stuff mixed.

How does Resolve handle speed changes from FCP? Specifically, what happens if there is a dynamic change within a clip?

Thanks in advance,

Thanks everyone. Its working.. 🙂 4k, 3k and canon 5d material cut in final cut pro conform to the resolve for debayer to 2k dpx frames then final color correction.

Still checking on the speed changes.

CMX 3600 EDls dont hold dynamic speed ramps, only static speed changes and those should work on every system.
In those cases where footage is speed up we tend to make single frame cuts , those will work fine too.
But if quality is king, you want a good offline, timecode and Red name visually embedded and use Kronos/speedo/twixtor.
I tend to ask for non-speeded and speeded EDLs and always look forward to what the clients deliver 😉

Thanks, Sascha and Darin. I went ahead and did made speed changes out of FCP. They didn’t translate exactly in Resolve, but the “compare to offline” feature made it easy to spot, and the conform tools easy to fix.
