Sure is painful, though, seeing how easy it is to edit in R3D in Premiere- but not being able to see your work on your external display unless you drop them into a Blackmagic sequence and love stuttery playback because Premiere needs to scale you from 4K to 2K on the fly. Especially given how Resolve can take a R3D sequence out of Premiere and let you do color grading, and After Effects can deal with R3Ds, too.
It’s just that one missing piece, if you’re using a Blackmagic board and want to see your edits on an external monitor in Premiere it seems to me you’re out of luck. Otherwise, your entire workflow can stay R3D and work fine.
So, Bob, is what I’m saying true or do you know a working way for this?
I know the backup “Planet Earth” method: like you said, get your R3Ds into something like ProRes. I guess we could even export some sort of EDL/XML thingie and go back to R3Ds for VFX and color grading… just such a huge waste of time and disk space…

I, too, am having this problem. Blackmagic, do you have a R3D preset for your deckling projects? Is that how it’d finally work? It’s maddening, having a killer decklink board and dream color monitor that works great in your Resolve but which is a black empty screen in Premiere.
And just dropping R3Ds into a Blackmagic 1080p preset? You have to scale all the clips to frame size, AND You get unacceptable stuttery playback.
Anyone have an idea on this?

And, when you’re faced with this, you need to make sure you’re paid a bit extra to cover your increased overhead of having an attorney look it over.

I agree with much that’s been said, here.
And my two cents- most directors and cinematographers absolutely cannot call themselves filmmakers. Many of them don’t have the breadth of knowledge and experience in all facets of filmmaking, or the overall decision making ability and responsibility on their projects through all phases of production, to honestly call themselves filmmakers.
Whether they’re shooting digital or actual film. Which, as we know, is changing towards all-digital.

Also, and here’s something that may not OFTEN happen in this industry, but it can- and does- in others that are related. Our contracts have a specific clause that states that the client says they own the rights to the footage we’re using. Because, our lawyer told us, if we don’t have this clause to protect us, and we work with illegal footage, we may get named in a lawsuit, too.
Personally, if I knew the producer was basically stealing footage, it’s best to sever that relationship immediately.
