Yes, DNxHD is a cross platform codec allowing for both compression and decompression. It can wrapped in MXF or QuickTime. Depending on application you use, it can be one or the other. You may also want to consider Resolve that can XDCAM and create either MXF or QT wrapped DNxHD. MXF being the native format for Mac and PC based Media Composers.

How do you differentiate Source file from Media files? If you were able to see these files in the MediaTool, that is what is on the drive – perhaps these are render files? A little better definition might help.

You don’t want a consolidate as that only brings the same codecs as a copy into an Avid managed folder structure. Transcode is correct and it will make .new clips for every even in the timeline. Sometimes the easiest way is to just do a video and audio mixdown, throw them into a timeline and export that out as QT reference. But then again, with a timeline so short, why does it need to be a reference? Just export am H.264 movie directly.

Look at the last tab in the FIND window to see if indexing has been paused or not. That is usually associated with PhraseFind indexing, but you never know. There is no other button that says INDEX or not – it just sort of does. It’s just that I noticed that your indexing indicator was only at half. You might try the usual steps’ create new user settings, trash MC state, or even uninstall/reinstall on that system. Also have to ask, but the scripts are all .txt to start and are now .avs?

Looks like the project is only half indexed according to the green dot display – are the other projects doing the same thing or not?

Because it was imported, you need to do a “batch import” on the original master clips that were created from the first time it was imported. In doing so, the sequence will automatically link. If you no longer have your master clips, you can go to the bin with your sequence, set bin display to show reference clips, and you will see all the original master clips provided you did/t transcode anywhere in the process to shorter .new clips.
Move the master clips to a new bin, select all, and batch import away.

If the camera was properly set up when shooting on Red, it will have both the “base rate” and the “record rate” where “Base Rate” is the intended playback speed, or project rate. So assuming that the base rate is 23.976 and the record rate was 96fps (95.094fps) it would automatically play back as a 4x slomo. Same for a record rate of 12fos, it will play back twice as fast.
Once in the timeline, you will now have everything at 23.976 with clips at native rate or sped up or slowed down. From there you can apply whatever additional motion effect as needed creatively. That is where you get into the discussion of Twixtor, FluidMotion, etc.

Let’s start with the speed changes – have you tested the fluid motion speed changes in Resolve 10 to see if you want to use those? If not, does Twixtor make an OFX version? If no on both, then you make need t omove those shots over to After Effects, and use it there on a RED file.

Yes, either and EDL or an AAF. In Resolve you want to link to camera originals (some wording in the import AAF/EDL to that effect). You may want to process a pull list through Redcine X Pro and copy all the native R3D to their own folder to cut down on amount of media to deal with in the Resolve Media Pool.

Have you tried AudioSuite rather than RTAS to see if that works, or is there not a plug-in there that meets your needs?
