Re: R3D Files and AMA "Unable to Provide Sample" error

Thanks again Michael.

The only issue I have with transcoding using Red Cine X upfront is that for documentary work, exposure can change during the shot. So if you've got an eight minute-long piece of media, and you make a blanket correction to it and then transcode at the start of a project, you may wind up having your settings exactly wrong for the moment you choose to use in the final sequence.

The beauty of the conforming workflow is that you preserve the flexibility to "rescue" a shot right up to the moment at which you bake the DNxHD 444 for the color grade.

It's a totally awesome workflow in theory. It's just the practice part that's tripping me up. :)

Anyway, I appreciate you giving it so much thought.
