DPX Sequence in Color just Placeholder

Hey Guys,

I've got the following prob:

I did the cut of offline Red Footage in FCP, exported an XML to Crimson,
did the indermediate process, opend the native r3d files in Redcine, opend the Crimson XML, did my resized an renderd out some dpx Sequences.

Then I exported the same Sequence as edl from FCP for reimporting in Color.

Color opens the edl just fine, the problem ist, that all the dpx sequences are just placeholders (redlined box). I tried to reconnect in Color,... won't work.

So I tried to reconnect the dpx sequences with the gluetools demo in fcp, works just fine! Got a moving picture in fcp. So I sent this sequenz to Color. On that way I just got the first frame of the dpx sequence in color for the whole lenght of the shot....

Please help ...

Hey jPo,

well people told me to use dpx sequences in exrem low light
situations. The whole feature is a low light movie ! So I thought
it would be better zu use dpx sequences ! Also I heard that the
debayering in color is not as good as in redcine ... ?

Hey Ben,

thanks for the answer.

Won't I have a loss of quality when I
edit the r3d Data directly in Color ?
I've heard so any concerns abour a bad
quality debayering in color ?

What about extrem low light situations ?

I#ve read the fcp whitepaper, but they don't
talk about debayering in Color/FCP !
