I have been asked to put to tape some files which were created after media managing a fcp project - all that remains of the footage are these media managed (H) RED QT files - all the original R3D as well ProRes transcoded media have been wiped away and now they want whatever can be salvaged to be put to tape.
When i open them up in qt it says its:
REDCODE 1920x1080 & 1024x576 @ 23.98 so my question whether or not its ok to render out the sequence as ProRes hq and then lay to HDCAM sr at either 23.98 or 29.97 on the fly with blackmagic /fcp adding pulldown.
I know is not good practice or recommended but its literally all that remains of the footage!

Hey Aaron
yes of course i see image in both QT and FCP and when i bring into a FCP sequence and render at pro Res hq it looks like it can indeed be layed off to tape.
again this is after a media manager job so its the only remaining footage from the project - others erased the media not me - and now i have to make the most of it - apparently the editor was cutting with the H proxy files and then the project was media managed so those are the only files that remain.
