  • FCP to Color Workflow – Reconnect native R3D-files from offline without using L&T?

    Posted by Andreas Näslund on August 23, 2011 at 8:03 am

    Hello,

    I’m trying to get my Online grading workflow to work.

    Problem: When I try to use Log and Transfer to re-import RED-clips as native files, FCP freezes. I copied the R3D-files to a folder on my local disk and pointed L&T to that folder then FCP stops responding. I tried to use Log and Transfer on with the R3D-files on two diffrent computers with diffrent versions of OS X and Final Cut Pro with the same problem.

    Question: Is there another way to reconnect the R3D-files before sending the FCP project to Color?
    When I try to connect to the R3D.mov files I need to do one by one and the size gets all wrong in color, and that makes sense when the wrapper got 4K and the filename is diffrent.

    Offline edit in Final Cut Pro
    1. Shoot on RED 4K 16:9
    2. Import R3D in Redcine-X
    3. Quick CC
    4. Export to 1920p ProRes 422 (LT)
    5. Start new FCP project
    6. Import ProRes files
    7. Edit and approve

    Online grading i Color
    1. Use Media Manager and select “Create offline” to generate new project
    2. RELINK TO R3D, HOW?
    3. Send To > Color
    4. Grade using REDCODE plugin
    5. Render with ProRes 4444
    6. Send To > Final Cut Pro

    Thanks!

    If you work with RED proxy in FCP there is no need for reconnection: Color perfectly understands .r3d native format. Make sure you have all necessary software from RED website installed.

    Yes, but I work with conformed offline ProRes-files and need to replace these files with the proxy files and still keep the film size in Color. And it takes time to replace the files one by one because the filename of the offline ProRes files is diffrent from the RED proxy files.

    Thanks!
