The footage I am working with was shot on a 5D and I know that it shoots in H.264, but I have tracked to footage shot on the same camera using a different Mac Pro and it worked out fine. Also, the footage that is being tracked to in AE has been exported from FCP as ProRes 422, so I dont believe that the lack of information in some frames would still be an issue.
Maybe I am just experiencing a persisting hardware issue?

Yep, those settings were solid.
It ended up being that I was using a type of particle that did not allow depth of field.
-
i understand that, but there is not way of matching the frame rates before i use them as a multicam after the footage has already been shot?
thanks.
i really appreciate it! -
can i do this after the fact in FCP?

Ok, I am doing a test conversion using RED Alert.
In the meantime, if this does turn out to be what I need, is there a batch render functionality built into RED Alert?
I cannot tell if there is and it would be great to just convert all of my RED files overnight and let RED Alert do its thing so I can get real productive when I get back to the studio in the morning.Thank you so much again.

Unfortunately, it turns out that the 5D was shot at 30fps and the RED was shot at 23.98fps.

Okay, so what it looks like the best thing to do in my situation is to convert the RED footage to ProRes, as the 5D footage already is. That way I can do a multicam edit with te 5D footage after it is converted.
Is this something that Compressor can handle? Can it properly ingest the Quicktime files that are provided with the raw RED footage?
-
Ok I am going to take a look at RED’s recommended workflow.
Also, I made a mistake as to what format I am working with when it comes to the 5D footage.
I am working with ProRes and I just mixed up which format I was converting from.Let you know what comes of my research.
Thanks for the ultra fast response!

Great I will give CC Force Motion Blur a shot. I have not even thought about that one yet. I think that is just might do the trick with a little finessing.

Ya, I was trying to find an alternative way other than re-exporting out of FCP, but I think that is the only way I will end up getting a clean track. Thanks anyways.
