Re: First Timer Workflow

Second this. You should be using ProRes HQ, which at HD resolution will run just fine off your internal RAID - I have one in my octo-core.

Although the REDCine route is slower, the results are undoubtedly better than the log and transfer route (although that can yield sharp results), so do a one-light in REDCine and a proper transfer to 1080 or 2K for your FCP edit - I think it's an excellent idea to have your colourist friend around for this. Make your one-light neutral, giving yourself as much to play with in Color as you can. You can also trim clips in REDCine so you are not transferring unwanted footage - this could save many hours of rendering. You can use this route to make 2K prores files, but I'm not sure what video output device you have. I assume you're using a Kona or BMD card to output to a good monitor? If not, don't bother trying colour correction at all at home. Output your final edit as DPX or similar (plenty of disk space required!) so it can be used on the Da Vinci, which is obviously a better colour correction tool than Color.

Don't finish in 4K, there's just no point.

Ben
