Re: Need help with the BASICS on RED workflow

Transcoding your footage through REDRushes will work fine. I suggest you use Clipfinder instead. It has a lot more options for adjusting Color and rendering.

[Ann Husaini] "The plan is to cut with these lower-resolution quicktimes and then match back to the 4K footage."

The only question I have with that is what program you'll use to conform and color your 4k footage. If you plan to color on your own, Color has some good workflows. If you plan to color at a post house, then they'll deal with conforming back to the 4k files. You should only need to deliver and edl and the original RED files, or just the whole FCP project.

If you need other questions answered or would like to consider using our facility for finishing, feel free to contact me.
