Re: Steps in editing RED footage in FCP and Color

Using Log and Transfer with RED footage is intended to be used when first copying the footage from the RED drive on to your computer. After you bring it in, then you backup the RED files for archiving.

Anyways, I'd suggest you use RED Rushes to create proxy versions that don't have the "_M" in the name. That way you can reconnect the your sequence to whichever proxy or imported RED file through Log and Transfer that you want. This way, you can edit with the _M proxies and then reconnect to the _H proxies when you're done so Color is seeing the 2K image instead of the 1K version.
