Conforming Red Footage
Right now this process seems fairly daunting. I’ve got R3Ds hidden all over the place and with my current understanding I would have to figure out where the clips reside and place them into the media pool 1 by 1..
Is there a better way to go about this?
My current thinking is to use Michael Cinquins Red Consolidate tool to gather the media from the FCP XML into one place.
Also,
All of the R3Ds reside in .RDC folders. Making the “add folder” function unusable for gathering R3D footage into the media pool. (you have to go into each RDC folder and add each R3D one by one..Also, I’m exporting an EDL from FCP, when I try to import it into Resolve it says something to the effect of “failed to match events from EDL”
I checked the EDL and there are only 2 lines..
“TITLE: and
FCM:”Any tips appreciated!
Thanks

Add folder and subfolders is your friend
I’ve recently conformed 2 R3D timelines from one master folder, just added the top level folder and all subfolders and it all works fine. Might take a while if you’ve got loads of media, but be patient and it’ll get it all there.

Hi Rick
You may want to take a look at the EDL Export screenshot in this zip file, which should get you a working EDL. The other shots are for matching an EDL to DSLR footage.

1. Export Fcp xml
2. Clipfinder (free) – load clips from fcp xml
3. Clipfinder – replace mov with R3d
4. Clipfinder – select clips and Cmnd-C
5. Finder – create new folder – Cmnd-VVoila – you have all needed rdm folders inside one folder
6. Clipfinder – conform on Fcp xml – point to new folder – will save new xml
7. Load new xml into fcp – export edl
8. Load edl into davinciCaution – never regenerate proxie qts with clipfinder – this replaces edgecode with timecode.

I like to do it this way if i’m feeling a bit lazy..it can take some time if you have a huge storage system but as I only use a local raid at the moment its perfect. You can right click on the top layer of your storage and say add all folders and sub folders based on EDL.
It will then search your whole mounted storage and just grab the files it needs.
It’s pretty cool and works great for me!

It would be a cool little feature if Resolve could media manage stuff in its media pool. Just a simple “copy to and relink media to target drive” on the browse page. This could be used along with “add clips based on EDL” to neatly media manage a project without 3rd party tools.
Not really a crucial feature because of the 3rd party tools that do this.
