Wow, Joe, that was very in-depth and super fascinating! Ok, so now it all makes sense…and means I’m stuck, LOL! Because I’m editing a feature film and I can’t be stuck on final export to Colorist depending on a “proxy cheat” method that may or may NOT work. Alright, well, thank you all for your help.

Thank you Jeremy for these suggestions. The first one is the one I want to do. You wrote “simply relinking to the R3D files” but sadly I am not finding this so simple. The RED-created proxy file, a .mov file that is ProRes 422 LT, is viewed by FCPX on import as Original media. If I right click on the clip in either the browser or the timeline, there is no option to Relink. Under File menu it says Relink, but this OVERWRITES the proxy file directly in the browser and timeline which cannot be undone and then I no longer have RED-created proxy files to work with in the timeline. Plus, FCPX will batch reconnect all .mov files to .mov files but relinking .mov to R3D file would have to be manually attempted clip by clip, and on a timeline with 1000 clips that would be insane. So I’m stumped. I’ll go and read this long article next.

I’m having similar issues. I want to use the proxy files that were created by the RED camera. They are .mov files and the codec is Linear PCM, Apple ProRes 422 LT, cn32. I COULD import these directly into FCPX, but I want FCPX to recognize these as the Proxy media. For some reason, FCPX only recognizes Proxy files that it makes by itself. So if I use the RED-camera-created Proxy files, then how do I link back to the original full RED media at export?
