  • FC 7, Red Proxy to ProRes

    Posted by Kevin Reeves on December 18, 2009 at 7:33 pm

    Hey there, I am working on a 2 hour film where the original editor cut with Red Proxy Files. This project is huge it literally takes me 20 minutes to open up and we have a pretty fast mac. It is very sluggish trying to move through the timeline. My question is, is it possible to take the finished cut sequence and transcode those proxy files to prores? I know you can when you import the files themselves. im just not sure how you do it when the files are already in the project and on the timeline.

    Thanks,
    Kevin Reeves

    I think if you used the media manager to transcode/copy the sequence (might want some handles too) you’d end up with a ProRes version. If the proxies were the 2k files, you’d have high quality too.

    If you get the original R3D files and input them into Red Rushes (free to download from red website) you can export as prores (or prores proxy) from there, as long as you keep the file names the same you should just be able to reconnect to ProRes.
