REDONE gives me scary 3k jitters in my 2k project.
I’m new to the red workflow, but I’ve seem to run across my first snag. I’m ingesting red media as instructed by the whitepages to prores 4444 at 2k in a 23.98 rate. Then i came across a slate stating there was a change to 3k @ 50fps, which fcp, as ive read and now discovered does not like at all.
Now from what I’ve gathered from other posts is I should compress with compressor this back to 2k, 2048×1152. Would this in its self solve my dilemma? I’ve tested a couple clips and seems ok, am I in for any surprises when my clients come in?

Before any cranky cows scold me for not referring to the RED Camera forum, I’m perusing that right now. Sorry in advance for jumping the posting gun….

RED scares the bejeebers out of me, I am fortunate that I will never need to know anything else than how to look up an experienced RED shooter.
Please come back and tell us how you solved yor issie and good luck.

You would do better right now to use REDCine with a full debayer, or REDRushes to transcode footage if you want to relink later – Apple’s software does not currently support the improved colour science in recent RED footage, and you will lose colour fidelity and quality in the blacks. You will also be able to do the resizing and conform there. Unfortunately, the Apple Whitepaper does not reflect the current, fast changing world of RED tech.
I recommend a look at recent posts on the RED forum about this.
