Two things:
1. Project is 16:9?
2. Source Settings are set to 4:3, center crop, etc.?Michael

If you look at the Plug-in column in the Source Browser, you will see it says it cannot link. Right click in that column and in a submenu, manually select the proper plug-in (assuming it’s installed).

Assuming that the filenames from the original R3D are in the TAPE column which is how Redcine X Pro works, the process is straightforward.
1. Create a “pull list”, one for the colorist (everything) and the VFX folks (just clips associated with VFX). I do this by taking the timeline and decomposing with whatever handles you want to have on each event to protect for changes.
2. Grab all the master clips and drag them to the timeline.
3. Create EDL (FIle_16) of timeline (V only)
4. Import into Redcine and it will make a timeline to to the R3D files associated with that project/session.
5. Export trimmed or entire R3D files as per Redcine X Pro functionality. These will be R3D files.When you say uncompressed, that means a pretty specific thing. You can choose to export as DPX from Redcine if you want uncompressed, but they take up a lot more room, so plan accordingly. If exporting other than R3D, make sure you work with your colorist and VFX folks as to what color space and gamma they want.
For the colorist, you back to your original sequence and export a V only AAF that they will use for the conform. Work with the VFX folks to see what they want to use. You will most likely get a VFX back that you should cut back into the timeline (a new version) and generate the AAF for the colorist with all the VFX in place (and signed off).

Because the source clips as recorded are not continuous. The END timecode is MC is always +1, so in order for it be continuous in the recording, the END of the previous clip timecode must be the same as the START of the next one.

Yes, that’s what I mean. So there is common timecode for all three elements from the set. You do not want to use the option key then. You want all elements to align to their production (START) timecode. How well each camera holds that sync over the course of the day may cause elements to go out of sync relative to each other – depends on the camera. Usually syncing 2-3 times during the day solves that.

If depending on common timecode, then do not use the option key as that lays out the clips based on their source timecode. From there you can slip elements for sync if needed.
If there is no common timecode, then it does not really matter.

Depends on what you’re trying to do.

So AutoSequence is doing the right thing by ensuring source TC lines up with Record TC in the timeline. If you display both timeline and source TC in the TC display or window, you will see that is true as you scroll through.
If you do not want to match timecode to source, then you need to hold down the option key when selecting AutoSequence, but that is just dropping all clips together in ascending TC order with no in-outs applied (they are cleared).

Is that separation between two different files? If you look at the START and END for those two, is the START of the second clip the same as the END of the previous or are they different by 1 frame?

Also when transcoding in this scenario, transcode the audio as well.
