This theory seems to be quite logical.
I am having some major issues with the roundtrip from FCP with LT files to REDCine-X 506, for which I plan to export final 4K RedLog Film Files. I simplified my FCP timeline to the most simple form.
There are a couple of issues I am running into..
1. FCP xml to RedCine doesn’t bring up proper in/outs in RCX timeline. Correct clip but wrong in/out points. SO. I resorted to EDL’s from FCP to RedCine, which do seem to match up.
2. Once I re-render RedLogFilm Files from REDCINE-X, I am not finding an XML method that allows FCP to re-create the RedCine X timeline in FCP???!?
At some point in testing phases, I recall that RedCine generated an “fcp XML” in the render directory, but now there is no XML showing up… and yes I have it selected in the output module.
When I export XML from the File menu in RCX, it translates back to the .R3D file, which is not supported in FCP or Color.
Any advice on how to retain the “FCP XML” export that used to show up in my RCX render directory?
Thank You,
