DPX or native R3D
Hi people, im about to start working on a music video and got some R3D files to test and found a problem going from Premier CS6 to Resolve.
I know that the problem is that time remapping does not translate with the XML file. I have come to two conclusions
1) Grade first with Resolve and then edit.
2) Export a DPX from R3D and import that.Now my question is (as im not great with colour specs ect) what is the different from grading the a R3D or a exported DPX from premier (post edit/speed ramps)?

with DPX, you won’t be able to access the RAW camera controls.
Also reading DPX files will need a faster disk drive than reading R3D files.
Be sure to export with the flattest image setting (Redlogfilm), and apply a lut when you bring back those files.Anyway, XML should carry speed ramps into Resolve…

I have tried to do a CS 6 to resolve with a few time remaps, but nothing came though, just the basic edit. I have looked online and cannot find a work flow that works. I do not really want to have to grade the piece first and then edit.

Depending on the quantity of speed changes, and how big they are, you could try recreating them in Resolve.

They will be quite big, its for a music video, so lots of slow downs and start ups ect.

I always ask my clients to render their speed changes with optical flow quality into RedLog.
Thus you dont have to worry about the timing and get the best possible grading quality.
Alternatively you can deactivate the speed clips, or have them on a separate time line and copy the grades from the ones in the original timeline to that one and have the editor reassemble them.
Both takes time that needs to be planned into the production accordingly.
Besides that I always prefer to go to DPX first, but as he said, you need a proper RAID for that.A slice of color…

Time remapping from premiere’s effects pallette is not read by resolve in xml. I’ve only had luck when speed change is done from within the timine (right click on clip to acess).
Baked DPX a great way to go esp since Premiere can read the R3D and you can scale large raster down to say HD. Agree about redlog gamma. Perfectly fine way to go. Prores 4444 would be acceptable if drive playback a concern.
