X to 7 and R3Ds

[Oliver Peters]

When you highlight the RED clips and go to relink, can it relink to the RED files? Premiere should sync by audio just fine, but maybe it’s more problematic with the RED files.

Thanks Oliver that fixed it 🙂

I had a duh moment and should have tried that.

Due to recent workload and me trying to make Premiere the editor of choice for this movie has got the best of me.

I still cant understand why the R3Ds dont sync with the audio when its flawless in FCPX.

Of note, I also cant understand why I can only use the Media Browser to grab R3Ds. The Import tends to create the deep sub-folders 😛

Thanks again crossing fingers if this will work for the editor 🙂

Well relink works but the Audio Sync didnt take.

I see the Synchronized clips but they have no audio attached.
The audio comes in separately but useless when trying to merge (again(.

[Oliver Peters]

Media Browser is set up to correctly interpret various file types. Finder imports simply read the OS file directory. As far as synchronized clips, XML translations are very hit or miss with multicam and synchronized clips. I’ve had a lot of grief this way. You might try syncing them in FCP X as multicam and see if that works better.

Thanks Oliver and yes I have synced them in FCPX which gives me a 99% success rate in the last year with R3Ds 🙂
However the director/editor wants to use Premiere.
I guess I can send these to Resolve via XML and then output to ProRes444@4K for Premiere.
Any thoughts on this process?

[Oliver Peters]

Sure, working in Resolve would also work, but you might want to tweak the raw settings before export if there are any issues. That way you won’t be constrained by not grading in raw should you need to adjust color temperature, for example. As a test at least, I would suggest syncing as multicam in X and see if that translates better into Premiere.

use RCX Pro to sync r3ds to Audio (by tc) and then shallow export to XML for Pr import and see if that works any better.

[Eric Santiago]

Thanks Oliver and yes all R3Ds are checked in RCXPro first before hand.
Thats the thing, I wish I could convince Director to use FCPX and keep the R3Ds intact.

Jeremy I wish I can use TC across the board 🙁
On average its about 15% of the project has timecode.
They kept losing jam sync due to…who knows I wasnt on set 🙁
With Resolve I can easily just select one clip (Media Pool) and apply TC and the whole lot with TC becomes synced.
I wish FCPX had that.
You still have to manually select each clip to apply that setting.

[Eric Santiago] “Jeremy I wish I can use TC across the board :(“

I see. bummer. 🙂

I am absolutely loving sync-n-link.

Unfortunately there’s still a bug in fcpx when using 4k synchronized clips in a 1080 timeline where the 4k clips take on the 1080 raster properties. Not a show stopper, but really annoying.

[Eric Santiago]

Jeremy when I do anything with R3Ds I stay 1:1.
Is this an issue when creating a 1080 project?
