  • RED ONE project edited in _p proxies. How do I finish?

    Posted by Ken Wheeler on February 8, 2010 at 2:23 am

    I cut my RED ONE project using the lower res _P files. I need to out put to compressor and then to DVD studio. So far, the quality has been low and with artifacts if I burn a quicktime movie or a DVD . I need to connect to at least the _h files. For one all my zoomed shots are low quality in the lower res _p proxies. I am not the person to color correct. I know there is a way to set for 2K in color. However color correction will have to come later and by someone other than myself. For now I must get a higher quality DVD. Although DVD is standard resolution, I am sure using a 2K or at least a 1K project send to compressor and then DVD studio will give me the quality a need for now.

    Help, pretty please

    Hi Ken,

    Clipfinder is the software to do this. https://www.daun.ch/software/
    You can import your XML into Clipfinder and then use the Run Conform on FCP XML tool to create a new edit referencing the _F, _H or _M proxies.
    It sounds like this DVD isn’t your final delivry, so _M proxies at 1K will do the trick if you don’t need the highest quality.

    There is a detailed manual on the website which talks you through these steps in more detail.

    Good luck,
    Alex Elkins

    Thank you again Alex. The title of my film is “Dixie Times”. I had to finance out of pocket, which meant selling everything I owned. The run time is 1:38. There is a trailer on youtube titled- Rednecks Deluxe Dixie Times.

    Despite this label, it is a very well written project.

    Thank you for helping out this amateur film editor
