r3d raw question for avid mc6 workflow

Creative Cow,

Please advise. I am editing a 42 min tv pilot in mixed formats. most of the footage is in r3d raw. know I know how to link to the AMA volume and then transcode to DNxHD 36 to make the editing easier and then res up later, however, in order to organize my project, I would need to change the name of the clips from the random number file name to SCENE:SHOT: TAKE etc. I was told you should never change the r3d file name because then it won't be able to link up later when I go to the online. Is this true?

The other thing is that all the audio was recorded externally, so when I sync it up in AVID, I will be creating a subclip which I will be using in my sequence. Will this affect how I re-link later to the r3d raw AMA volume?

Totally Confused.

thanks guys

does it matter if I do this via AMA or can I just transcode the files in red cine x?

ok i figured out the workflow for the red. however I am also editing footage in the same sequence that was shot on af100 23.978 1920x1080. I assume I will have to downgrade the red footage in order to output the sequence in the final output @ 1920x1080. does it even make sense to relink to the full res RED footage?
