I am doing it via a 1080 sequence now. but I have to manually rescale every clip to match the sequence size. Even after selecting “Default scale to frame size” in the Generals Preference menu.
Kind of annoying to edit that way.
Otherwise the 4K Raw edit ability is nice, since its such a quick workflow without having to convert dailies.

[Christian Stoehr]

No, and I don`t want 4K as output wither, I just wanted some internal premiere conversion, or the card to convert it to my 1080p for playback. I know they can convert to SD on the fly.
I have a large flatscreen in the edit bay for people to watch if they are in the edit room, so thats basically why I want to output also on the preview.

Here is what I found in the forum from Dave LaRonde:

Make sure the footage is interpreted as 23.976, and NOT 23.98
Put the footage into a 1920×1080 comp at 59.94 frames/sec, which automatically spreads the film frate across the video frame rate
Nest the comp in another 1920×1080 comp at 29.97 frames/sec, which gets you to the proper frame rate
Render the 29.97 comp as interlaced, UPPER FIELD FIRST, which gives you the fields you want

The result: a 108060i file, which is the same thing as a 1080 29.97 file with interlacing.

Source clips are Red RAW R3D files. I have tried just importing a clip straight into FCP, or also by using the roundtrip XML that DaVinci created. Both ways are the same result. Images comes out much brighter. I am going Uncompressed 10 Bit now.

I ha d a lot of speed change issues in this last film also. Some shots I had to try to change the speed back to 100% and then render it out, so the editor could reput his original speed change back in FCP.
A lot of clips didn`t give me the option of going to 100% in DaVinci, they would always jump to 99.99% which would always leave 1 double frame somewhere in the shot.

So I just figured out that if you use the “Sizing Preset” it will affect the clip global, and you can see that the sizing parameters don`t change with it. If you want to change clips based on remote versions, you have to do it manual with the input sizing.

Thanks, I tried deselecting the “assist using reel names” but that didn`t help.
I haven`t seen the format of an XML, but I would assume that FCP would include Reel name, but also a clip file name.
Of course your manual way is a good but time-consuming workaround.

[Christian Stoehr]

Thanks Peter, couldn`t find that for some reason. Works great now.

[Christian Stoehr]

Correct, forgot to mention that, the track was Locked. I should have figured that one out.

So the solution was to change the RED Raw conform settings in the Project Setting window, and adjust the “timecode” to “Absolute”
