Re: First Timer Workflow
by Russell Lasson on May 19, 2008 at 11:22:36 pm

[Matt Doe] "First off, my plan is to have co-worker of mine who is a colorist sit in with me on the first pass through REDcine in the hopes that he can give me insight on the color correction side of things as we both try to figure out the program itself. "

REDCINE currently renders out to QuickTime at about a 25:1 ratio. On your computer, it will probably be more like 30:1. So if you have an hour of footage, it will take about 30 hours to export it. I would only do this step once if I were you. I'd much rather use the Log and Transfer plug-in and bring them in to FCP at closer to a 3-4:1 ratio.

Also a Quad Mac Pro can easily handle ProRes as long as you have enough storage.

When you're done editing, I would either use the ProRes files in Color or use a Crimson workflow to render out your edl in REDCINE. Then it's up to you how you color.

Also, finishing at 4K is pointless for the majority of RED users right now. I'd suggest 2K as a general rule.

If you give some more specifics about your project, we can give some more advice on workflow. How much footage are you shooting? What delivery are you finishing for?
