Red Workflow and Log & Transfer Questions
Hi,
New to Red and in sorting out my workflow it’s raised another question re Log & Transfer.I’ve downloaded Redcine-x Pro to transcode the footage to ProRes (proxy) plus I installed the Red FCP plug-in. So far so good.
My first step was to test two transcoding paths:
1. Via Redcine xPro
2. Via FCP Log & TransferMy research told me that the advantage of using Redcine x Pro was that it would be a lot faster than the FCP Log & Transfer. This is my first confusion/question:
In my tests, the FCP Log & Transfer is about 95% faster than Redcine xPro. In other words the Redcine x Pro is so slow that it’s almost unworkable (about 8 hours to transcode 15 minutes of footage.)
What’s the deal with that? Anyone experienced similar issues.My 2nd issue is with the FCP log and transfer. I’m trying to transcode to a ProRes Proxy of 1920 x 1080 but I can’t find anywhere in the Log & Transfer Preferences to specify this. It automatically transcodes the clips to 2240 x 960. So, despite it being fast, I can’t get the size I want.
Any thoughts on this?Specs:

Anyone? Should I ask this in the Final cut basics?
