Red Epic and FCP workflow having transcoded ProRes offlines outside of FCP

[Jeremy Garchow]

But are you exporting a RCX sequence?

[Brandon Mcfarland]

Here is the entire process thus far:

1. Ingest footage using RCX Pro to ProRes proxies.
2. Edit in FCP.
3. Export XML > import to RCX Pro. (All media is reconnected fine and things going smoothly so far)
4. Grade Timeline in RCX Pro.
5. Attempt to export a folder of media + correlating XML from RCX Pro in order to finish the big batch of short timelines that are sitting in FCP waiting for this process to be figured out…

Step 5 generates a folder of media that all looks great, but no XML anywhere.

I’m not next to RCX at the moment, but in the export dialogue, you need to choose ‘sequence’.

I’ll get to a computer and direct you to the exact place.

In the export presets window, make sure
“Export: Timeline (separate clips)” is selected.

[Brandon Mcfarland]

That did it. Thanks Jeremy. That is so strange that it sees a timeline in the bin and knows to make individual clips with the setting chosen, but won’t make an XML for the trimmed media that it transcodes in that same batch.

[Jeremy Garchow]

Yes, it needs to be done in a specific order for FCP.

You can always use FCPReconnect, as FCP itself isn’t smart enough.

It’s handy if you have already rendered, don’t have a Rocket and don’t have time to rerender.
