[Gene Rosati Jr.] “I believe the problem is that the 4k files are sony raw.”
Yeah, that would not surprise me that FCPX doesn’t relink. I am working on a project now with 4K raw files from an F5 and the relinking to the raw will take place during a Resolve conform and not within FCPX.

[Lance Bachelder] “Yeah I’m still waiting for the export Pro Res function.”
Same here. I am lusting after some new 1060/70/80 laptops.

[Todd Terry] “Overdone though, it’s a very bad thing. “
To be more specific, I saw a film in a theater that used a high shutter rate to compensate for lack of ND filters (so in the area of 1/1000 or higher depending on the amount of sunlight).
It gave me a splitting headache.

Have you opened the original AE project in the new version of AE yet?

[Elizabeth Perlman] ” but when exporting ProRes files for the colorist,”
Can you export it to any other format besides ProRes? DNxHD in a OP1a container perhaps?

[Gene Rosati Jr.] “I tried to import the media that way but FCP X couldn’t import the 4K media let alone recognize it.”
What version of FCPX are you using?

[Jon Shank] “I would have to interpret it even higher than 59.98 to get the choppy motion? “
You only interpret for slow-motion. To get choppy motion, you just speed up the clip.
[Jon Shank] “Also, what shutter speed would be good at 60fps for cinematic motion blur? 180 degree?”
The two are mutually exclusive. By “cinematic motion blur” aka, the typical motion blur you see in a projected film, that is 1/48, which you cannot do at 60 fps. You will need to shoot at 1/120 (which is what a 180 degree shutter will give you), so when you play back normal speed, the blur will be less than the “cinematic motion blur” you typically see. There is no way around this.

[Jon Shank] “What frame rate did he likely SHOOT in to be able to both slow down and speed up?”
You can speed up from 24fps, you just can’t slow down as easily (not without using post interpolation work, such as the Twixtor plugin). I would assume mostly 48fps, perhaps in certain cases (I cannot remember the movie well enough to remember how slow the slow motion goes) as high as 120fps (the limit of the Alexa XT).
[Jon Shank] “Is this something I could do with a dslr? Say by shooting in 24 and then interpreting/conforming it to 26+ to make it sped up/choppy and down to 21-23 to make it slower?”
Yes for the latter and not really for the former. To get the quality of slow motion like you saw in Fury Road you would need to shoot at a bone fide higher frame rate. And that depends on what DSLR you’re shooting with. The A7S Mark II, for instance, will do 1080 at 120fps. The Panasonic GH4 will actually do 48fps in VFR mode (which means no sound capture on camera). The Canon EOS 7D Mark II will allow 1080 at 60fps, while the EOS 60D would only allow you 60p in 720.

You need an external burner capable of burning a BDXL disc an authoring software that will create the proper folder sequence for you (a la Sonic Scenarist).

[Keith Rensberger] “want to Export to Media, using format H.254 in a preset that will play on a DVD player (via USB port)”
DVD players usually limit their decoding abilities to XVID/DIVX codecs in my experience, unless you have found a specific DVD player that decodes H.264? I’ve only ever found that on Blu-ray disc players.
