v1.30?

When I was pulling the screenshots, I noticed the status bar was dark green (not the easiest thing to distinguish from dark gray btw). I called it out in the screenshot, but the dark green descriptor says no rendering needed, full resolution. So is this wrong? Why can I go to tape without it auto rendering those clips? Auto render does the red, orange, green (preview) but not those…
Of course I can force a render that turns those clips dark gray, but they don’t look any different after the render.

I put together a screenshot comp that shows what we’re getting. Here is the link:
Let me know what you think

But that’s the thing, the XDCAM 422 footage was shot using a PDW 700 and a 50mps CBR codec and the XDCAM EX footage was shot with an EX-1 at 35 mps. There not even close to being the same thing yet… absolutely no rendering needed at all. Edit To Tape goes right off without rendering at all.

Right, I mean mix without rendering. Maybe its a processor thing… On a native ProRes 422 timeline, we add a ProRes LT clip and it (the LT clip) goes into Preview (green line) status.
On a native XDCAM 422 timeline, we add an XDCAM EX clip and everything stays gray, no renders needed.Ken Nicholson

Herb,
There are platoons of us edit*ors hanging around in the shadows, waiting to dance on Autodesk’s grave… ah, well maybe they could just move their HQ done the road apiece to San Quentin. Barbaric!!!

Thanks Chad,
The issue is that the footage was shot using 4K:16×9 rather than 4K:HD. FCP has no problem with it, but my Aja IOHD will not play it out or transcode it. I need to send out DVDs with the raw footage so I must either render 2 hours of footage or re-ingest it (correcting it to 1920×1080).
For re-ingest I’m getting responses on the RED Workflow forum that suggest I use either RED Rushes, RED Cine-X or Clipfinder. I have no experience with any of these, so any advice from multiple persons would be helpful. I understand that RED Cine-X will give me the most grading capability, but RED Rushes is much faster. Clipfinder is a third-party app. Why would I want to use that vs. Rushes? Does Cine-X batch process? I’ve got over a hundred clips to deal with.

Hey DRW!
Long time no see… NAB 2000? Crashing the Discreet sessions…
Yeah I do fastidious nightly backups of projects to Firewire drives. Got burned once with a RAID drive crash, no more…
So performance, heat all nominal with internals? I do mostly XDCAM work, occasionally DVCPROHD, have a RED project on the horizon, might that be pushing it? (performance, not space)
Is the internal RAID as fast as an external eSATA 3-drive? That’s what I’m using now. (I know, apples to oranges)…

Mark,
It’s been a while since the old edit* days, eh?
I’ve also got a case similar to yours for my EX-1, and just yesterday was on a shoot where I had to huff down an asphalt running path. Rough (on those little hard wheels) surfaces always make me nervous so I carried the rolling case (irony optional) and always do on such ground. Wood, concrete, carpet, linoleum, they’re all good. I wish they’d make the wheels a bit bigger and softer. Vibrations on these new-gen cameras give me the willys…

Adolfo,
Thanks for the insight. So image sequences are the way to go?
