hi Uli

did you see this link?

https://documentation.apple.com/en/finalcutpro/professionalformatsandworkflo...

it has workflows for different formats and Final cut 7

RED included

and another thing…

as R3D is quite massively compressed and so is ProRes 4444 (though much less than R3D) do you think its a good idea to grade from ProRes compressed R3D?

your initial plan was to work on a Scratch, which works native with R3D

Color works sort of native with R3D and hopefully much smother and better in the new version.. (which supports 4K)

why go through a 2nd compression?

i didn’t test ProRes 4444 yet, and maybe i’m all wrong and results are immaculate. However, its hard to believe that transcoding R3D to ProRes would result in better behaving files for grading than going native

hope this helps

hi Russell

this from the new ProRes white paper:

doesn’t it suggest ProRes 4444 is 6.7:1?

also, HDCAM SR has an HQ mode with 880 Mbs and 2:1 compression ratio
which ProRes is quite far from…

i don’t think ProRes is meant to compete with SR…

but having it available for cheep, from SD to 28k in 4:4:4 and 12 bit color depth with support for alpha channel , in RGB or YCbCr color space is so cool and probably so useful

is there a better work format on the market?

this so much kicks DNxHD in the ass… it used to have in its favor over Prores, the fact that it supports alpha channel and offline sizes.

now it only has the fact its free 🙂

new ProRes definitely means DNX needs a brush-up

lets hope AjA are working on a new input for the Ki-Pro…

hi Steve,

cool for you 🙂

say.. did the installer remove Livetype or require you to remove it?

if not, does it still work?

just wondering…

agreed

ProRes family expansion has to be the biggest thing about this fairly modest update

looking forwards to test them in action..

and thinking how cool it will be when the next AjA Ki-Pro update supports the new flavors…

full raster 444 acquisition for under 4 grands.. and ready for post work

🙂 fun times ahead

it was crowded…. and the venue was ok

didn’t seem that there were many apple reps around, maybe i just didn’t notice them

if it wasn’t for the chance too meet people you see in flesh once a year (which still is the best function of supermeets) it all felt a little too obvious…

and though cool features in premiere are always so much fun… there was not even a slightest of hints on the near/far future of the apps these user groups are all about.

just last year a full house of users cheered when a fait hint of possible BR support in some near future was partly suggested on stage.. a silent disappointment crept in this year.

one of the largest pro-users communities in this field… is starting to feel neglected?

thank you LA user group organizers, for being so persistent and talented in putting together this huge evening

maybe next time the raffle could be broken into many shorter raffles throughout the event.

am i the only one who think its starting to feel like an endless bingo from hell 🙂 ?

hey moody

its like the month before Christmas.. lol

here are a few cool ones

FCPUG SuperMeet – https://www.lafcpug.org/nab_2009
huge crowd, mini third party show, lectures, raffle
RED camera party and event – https://www.redusernab.info/
starts at 3pm, agenda looks interesting.. RED is always sort of cool
FMC content creators party – https://www.nabshow.com/2009/attendee/ticketedEvents.asp
no full info yet, but should be fun, last year was.

G tech had a really hot mini party last year which i only heard of on the show floor… so did AVID.
probably a good idea to keep ears open on the first day.

gluetools is not free, 399$
it allows QT, therefore FCP to read and write cineon and DPX files

you will import the EDL into FCP,
file – import EDL
then set the prefs (after you install gluetools you will have DPX as an option) and choose reconnect in “import for”

this will generate an offline sequence, which you will reconnect to your original DPX files

it gets a bit more complicated, but basically its the workflow

assuming your DPX files are ok

there are more in depth workflows in the gluetools manual

hope this helps

to do in FCP you will need the gluetools plugin.

look it up. it works well depending on the strength of your system
and the developer, Robert Monaghan is a great guy who gives amazing support to his product.

i have tried the color workflow only once but the names of the files were not conformed correctly for color and the whole process felt quite sticky and slow.
