mixed TL conform, 5D and R3D
I’m trying to conform an EDL containing 5d and Red.
- Transcoded and swapped 5D footage with uncompressed QT, and assigned unique numeric reel names.
- used clipfinder to reconnect to r3d QT proxies, imported to FCP, and exported EDL from there
If I conform with “assist using reel..”, “embedded”, I can get the red, but not the 5d QT media connected.
If I conform with “assist using reel..”, “*source clip path /%R.mov”, I can get the 5d QT media, but not the Red connected.
Any way to do a mixed timeline?

My workaround was to use “embedded” reel names, and rename all the 5d reels to match their file names.
So a clip MVI_1234 with source file name MVI_1234.mov got a reel name of MVI_1234.
Not really a proper solution, but it works.

Did you try QtChange (donationware) to assign TC and reel names to the 5D footage?

Thanks Uli. Was just looking for such a solution.
However I would like to resolve the core issue as well. A non red workflow uses the %R.mov workflow to connect, and the red workflow uses a “reel name is file name” workflow.
I’m bound to run into a feature later where they mixed regular QT footage with red footage. Then I’ll be stuck re-inputting all the QT file names as reel names for every clip. Seems using any r3d on the timeline locks you into that conform workflow.

Try “*/%R.*” – this should work for both Red and 5D.
Alternatively, you can set it for Red, add all the Red media. Then set it for 5D, and add all the 5D media to the media pool.

Yeah I had tried that, but then nothing connected.

Yes this works, and is the preferable solution. Thanks!
