Importing R3D Shot/Scene metadata into Premiere?
Hey, so I did a shoot last week where my DIT put the scene and shot info in the respective metadata fields in RedCine-X Pro because we both figured that was a metadata standard which Premiere would read. On opening the files today we found that not to be true (Premiere 6.0.0). Is there any way to quickly and efficiently get that metadata into Premiere so it’s actually useful? I know I can export a .csv file which has all the info I need, but not sure how to get it into Premiere without manually typing it. Would Prelude be of any help? Can Prelude even let you put in metadata on R3D files these days?
Thanks.

I answered your post on RedUser, but for the benefit of others I’m duplicating my answer here.
1. In Redcine-X take all of your files and add them to a project bin
2. Add all of your videos to a sequence in Redcine-X (don’t worry about it being perfect, this step is really a technicality)
3. In Redcine-X’s project browser where you see your bins and sequences, make sure the sequence you just created is selected
4. Shallow export a Final Cut XML
5. Import XML into Premiere and relink R3D files.You should see metadata populate within Premiere. This metadata is project specific and is housed in your Premiere Pro project file so any new projects will have to go through these steps.
