Hi Russ,
I have a similar query. I’ve got about 20 minutes of footage shot on Red. The project will be cut on FCP 7 and then taken to the lab for a colour grade. The filmmakers were advised to edit with proxies. Does it make sense to use proxies, or should I transcode to ProRes? Also, Red seems to provide a plugin for FCP that converts the R3Ds to QTs to allow you to edit in FCP. What would be the best workflow to enable a quick transfer back to the lab to relink with the original files?
Thanks for your help,
Tanvi
