way to flip clips before dropping them in timeline, working with footage shot with a red rock lens adapter

I am wondering if there is a way to apply an effect to my clips in the bins to flip the image before I add anything to the timeline. I'm working with footage shot with the red rock lens adapter, and all the footage is inverted (upside down).

In the bins, no. You can apply the effect in the timeline and if you want to add another fx, just nest it.

FIRSTLIGHT from Cineform does it.. but you need to be working with footage in one of Cineform's formats

I think he needs to do some batch before to all the clips.
As I said you if you happen to use Cineform you can use FIRSTLIGHT that will flip all the clips instantly without re-rendering.
If you don't use Cineform you have to re-render. You can use MPEG STREAMCLIP (both on MAC and PC) to re-render all the clips in batch. Remember that re-rendering affects quality so you should use some quality codec like Cineform on PC or Pro-Res on MAC

Easiest way is to feed your system to a broadcast monitor and turn it upside down. Otherwise, set up your timeline like this:
V2: Flip effect
V1: Footage
The Flip effect goes on all of V2, so it will flip anything on V1. Your source monitor will still be upside down, but at least your timeline will be rightside up. Plus you can make a sequence with all of your shots on V1, Flip effect on V2, and load that into your source monitor and cut from it.

Turning a broadcast monitor upside down will cause severe damages to the monitor. The power supply will probably unsolder itself, and if that doesn't happen, the rest of the monitor is likely to fry because of wrong heat dispersion.
I had a similar situation a few years back, and got a cheap LCD computer monitor in order to put that upside down. That went just fine.

I never considered that. Sounds like a cheap LCD would be the way to go then.

YOu could cut the footage into a timeline, apply the flip, render, mixdown, and sub-clip.

[Matthew Mullen]"mixdown, and sub-clip."
I wouldn't go that route. You lose timecode info when you mixdown so you can't recapture if you mixdown.
Just make a sequence of your shots, add the flip to either V2 or directly to your clips, and load that sequence into your source monitor. You can always subsequence it out into individual shots, too.
